My application uses fine-grained parallelism in that the main application runs on the head, scatters the work units to the nodes, then gathers the results, somes some analysis, then starts over. I don't think mosix would work for that. I plan on having the head manage the nodes directly through mpi or pvm, unless someone has a better suggestion.
