     535There are lots of odd complications that make accounting and portability a challenge.   Time goes backwards on modern machines frequently.   The count of consumed resources (getrusage) goes backwards sometimes too!

    541542Have been discussing whether it makes sense for Million Node GENI to
    542 use ProtoGENI control framework.  Million Node GENI belives there is a
     543use ProtoGENI control framework.  Million Node GENI believes there is a
    543544problem with that.  Million Node GENI doesn't have a notion of a lot
    544545of things that are calls in ProtoGENI (for example booting a node).

    558 Rob said he'd like to be able to have the notiion of a slice in
    559 Million Node GENI.  Justin said you can (but it souds like there are
    560 complications with this).
     559Rob said he'd like to be able to have the notion of a slice in
     560Million Node GENI.  Justin said it would be possible to add this, but
     561it's not currently implemented because it was unneeded.

    562563Chip asked about whether it runs on handsets.  Justin said they've
    563 done proof of concept on Nokia 0800, jailbroken Iphones, One laptop
    564 per child notebook.  Couldn't do Windows mobile despite significant
    565 effort.
     564done very early stage proof-of-concept on Nokia N800, jailbroken Iphones, One laptop
     565per child notebook.   However, none of these were brought to maturity so they may be intractable due to inability to get resource information from the kernel.  They stopped working on Windows mobile after the effort was taking too much time.

    567567Chip asked about privacy concerns, especially with handsets and
    568 location information.  Can route traffic through TOR and have this
     568location information.  It would be possible route traffic through TOR and have this
    569569information be hidden.  If the information isn't hidden, experiments
    570570can take advantage of the location information.  This is a different
    571571model than the cloud projects because the node will be ON your own

    613 because it has ssh access, which most nodes don't.
