Qnet is Neutrino's protocol for distributed networking. Using Qnet, you can build a transparent distributed-processing platform that is fast and scalable. This is accomplished by extending the Neutrino message passing architecture over a network. This creates a group of tightly integrated Neutrino nodes (systems) or CPUs—a Neutrino native network.
A program running on a Neutrino node in this Qnet network can transparently access any resource, whether it's a file, device, or another process. These resources reside on any other node (a computer, a workstation or a CPU in a system) in the Qnet network. The Qnet protocol builds an optimized network that provides a fast and seamless interface between Neutrino nodes.
