The latest version works quite well after we cleaned some of the bugs
(this email is running on a machine which is a prt of a cluster of 10
machines). There is still a *lot* of work to do.
Also, be aware of the limitations - anything that needs distributed
shared memory will not be able to be distributed on the cluster. That
means all threaded applications, most JAVA application and anything that
does mmap() with MAP_SHARED or shmget(). Note that these applications
will still run perfectly well, they will just not be able to migrate to
other nodes on the cluster.
On the other hand I am not currenly aware of any program that does not
fall into the above catagory that has any specific problems (previous
versions did have other problems)
As for Qlusters, we're really busy writing an Outlook Warhol virus with
the payload of automatically turning Windows machines into a Linux
based openMOSIX node. According to our calcuations the resulting world
wide cluster would have enough computing power to become sentient and
achieve self awarence almost 24 hours after the inital outbreak. We do
this because some strange person who claimed to be from the future
suggested it on some extremly wild party and we all figured its a cool
idea. All this high peformance computing stuff wich you can read about
on our web site is just a decoy to get the MOSSAD of our backs. We don't
fear the NSa because they are secretly helping us.
Does this answer your question? :-)
