Hi all!
Is there any way to make BaseX run in parallel on a cluster? Through school I have access to several clusters and I got interested in trying out if BaseX can take advantage of parallel computing.
I know my question is vague. To try to be more specific - can I compile BaseX with some extra parameters? Is there anything written about this topic?
For the background information I got interested in trying out running parallel XQuery because from somewhere (that I can't find in the mailing list archive) I read that XQuery falls under the "dataflow" programming paradigm [1] and as such should be parallelizable out-of-the-box. Also being a functional language with no side-effects makes automatic parallelization easier. I am not a computer scientist and/but I am aware it isn't that easy as I might make it sound.
