-module(pool).

%% Supplies a computational pool of processors.
%% The chief user interface function here is get_node()
%% Which returns the name of the nodes in the pool
%% with the least load !!!!
%% This function is callable from any node including the master
%% That is part of the pool
%% nodes are scheduled on a per usgae basis and per load basis,
%% Whenever we use a node, we put at the end of the queue, and whenever
%% a node report a change in load, we insert it accordingly
