Think carefully about what sort of problems you want to solve, e.g.
parallel computation or task farming?
If the former, then are the communications latency-bound or bandwidth-bound? Are collective communications important? Will you need full switching for remote comms, or just nearest-neighbour?
CPU-bound or memory-bound or IO-bound?
These factors are not necessarily mutually exclusive and Inevitably there are trade-offs, but one size does not fit all.

blminimum
blminmax(3TSOL) Trusted Extensions Library Functions blminmax(3TSOL)
NAME
blminmax, blmaximum, blminimum - bound of two labels
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag...] file... -ltsol [library...]
#include <tsol/label.h>
void blmaximum(m_label_t *maximum_label,
const m_label_t *bounding_label);
void blminimum(m_label_t *minimum_label,
const m_label_t *bounding_label);
DESCRIPTION
The blmaximum() function replaces the contents of label maximum_label with the least upper bound of the labels maximum_label and bound-
ing_label. The least upper bound is the greater of the classifications and all of the compartments of the two labels. This is the least
label that dominates both of the original labels.
The blminimum() function replaces the contents of label minimum_label with the greatest lower bound of the labels minimum_label and bound-
ing_label. The greatest lower bound is the lower of the classifications and only the compartments that are contained in both labels. This
is the greatest label that is dominated by both of the original labels.
