<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">These questions are probably best asked in the Phoenix MapReduce mailing list (<a href="mailto:phoenix-users@lists.stanford.edu" target="_blank">phoenix-users@lists.stanford.edu</a>), rather than the Barrelfish list.
The Barrelfish behavior of Phoenix should be identical to the Linux one.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">How could the above codes get the values for args? I mean, where are those MR_ environment variables defined? And what if they are not? Does the cache size variable has any connection with the splitter function? I know that phoenix schedules
threads according to cache size as chunk size, but how?<u></u><u></u></p>
