   \subsubsection{Competitive distributed computation by various strategies}
   
   SINGULAR \cite{Singular} implements {\it MP} interface for distributed
   computation and a competitive Gr\"obner basis computation is
   illustrated as an example of distributed computation.
   Such a distributed computation is also possible on OpenXM.

     if ( Proc1 == -1 ) Proc1 = ox_launch();

     /* F[0] is a server's id which is ready */
     R = ox_get(F[0]);
     if ( F[0] == P[0] ) { Win = "Buchberger"; Lose = P[1]; }
     else { Win = "F4"; Lose = P[0]; }

   In the above Asir program, the client creates two servers and it requests
   Gr\"obner basis comutations by the Buchberger algorithm the $F_4$ algorithm
   to the servers for the same input.
   The client watches the streams by {\tt ox\_select()}
   and the result which is returned first is taken. Then the remaining
   server is reset.
