Module summary

Grouping Nodes to Global Name Registration Groups

Description

The global group function makes it possible to group the nodes in a system into partitions, each partition having its own global name space, refer to global(3). These partitions are called global groups.

The main advantage of dividing systems to global groups is that the background load decreases while the number of nodes to be updated is reduced when manipulating globally registered names.

The Kernel configuration parameter global_groups defines the global groups (see also kernel(6), config(4):

{global_groups, [GroupTuple :: group_tuple()]}
