From what I know openMosix works at the process-level so the software doesn't need to use threads to benefit from an openMosix cluster. However, the software should be able to do work across several processes, or you should be using openMosix to support a large batch system. >that the difference between cluster and parallel may be a matter of >semantics, often people refer to them as the same thing. Very true. The term "cluster" is used as an umbrella phrase in general. You can have a HA cluster like a set of web servers behind a load-balancer that monitors for service availability, or a computational cluster like a Beowulf or openMosix cluster. --- Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Puryear Information Technology, LLC <http://www.puryear-it.com> Providing expertise in the management, integration, and security of Windows and UNIX systems, networks, and applications.
