No, actually "Beowulf" is correct. It's named after the well-known old-English story of Beowulf. > PVM and MPI are a totally different thing: those are libraries used in the > program, in order to make use of a cluster.

Mosix is not a replacement for a message-passing library (though one optimizied for Mosix and which knows where processes have moved will certainly improve performance; Does such a thing exist?) > ...have also chose... "chosen", you mean? > load files into THE memory Why? do you need that extra "the"? "Load files into memory" seems idiomatic English to me.
