Well, That's not been the case here.. There are several factors you have to take into account..
for example... If you have two 686's and a 586.. if I compile something on the 686, it won't transfer to the 586 unless it thinks it will run faster on there, then where its at.. But it will transfer the other 686 a lot.. I have had compiles transfer over to other nodes many times... if you leave your option to j2, it may never transfer over since that's two low of an option for a cluster, why when its fine right where its at?.. Its all about making sure you set things up I have had things transfer at j2 however... Also, if you compile at j2, and say have something else running as well, it will probably transfer something over.. it always does.. What I do like, it one of my machines it a 486 (my gateway doesn't need to be a powerhouse). But when I compile on that machine, normally just about all of the process get migrated off.. My compiles are pretty damn fast.. :) Its all about what your doing and if you can overload a machine or not. Or maybe I am a home user that over powers his machines??

I read recently that (Open)Mosix didn't migrate compilation processes, because they're too short-lived. Is this true..? Can you tell us please how you deal with this..? Do you run distcc on your nodes..? Many thanks, Stroller. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
