Any size? Like 10,000 nodes? Not sure I believe that. > I read about LinuxBIOS for cluster system. Is this LinuxBIOS > compatible with MOSIX? They're totally orthogonal. LinuxBIOS would work fine with MOSIX. I'm well aware of the mosix work but we have our own SSI system here based on bproc, bproc.sourceforge.net. We've tested bproc to 15,000 processes, somewhat more than mosix has done I think. > ZF MICRO make "system-on-a-chip" X86 (Pentium 100 MHz).

The "SOC" aspect is neat as you can put a lot of these in a little box. thanks ron
