Project Release Information

2005-04-14 07:13
This port to Linux 2.6 is a rewrite of openMosix
that includes the first port of openMosix to the
AMD Opteron. openMosix 2.6 moves much of the
patch's code from the kernel to user space. This
brings a very significant improvement which
provides improved performance, makes user land
tools easier to implement, and most significantly,
simplifies porting to new kernel versions
including AMD Opteron, Intel EM64T, and PowerPPC.

Project Description

openMosix is a a set of extensions to the standard Linux kernel allowing you to build a cluster of out of off-the-shelf PC hardware. openMosix scales perfectly up to thousands of nodes. You do not need to modify your applications to benefit from your cluster (unlike PVM, MPI, Linda, etc.). Processes in openMosix migrate transparently between nodes and the cluster will always auto-balance.
