openMosix is a Linux kernel extension for single-system image clustering which turns a network of ordinary computers into a supercomputer. 'What is openMosix useful for?' /1/ openMosix allows you to join together multiple computers running the Linux operating system, and have them appear to the user as one large multiple-processor computer. For example, suppose you had two computers, A and B joined in an openMosix cluster. Without openMosix, if you ran two programs on A they would only get 50% of the CPU time each. With openMosix, one of the programs could migrate 'automagically' to B, so both processes would run at 100% CPU. As far as the user is concerned, A now behaves like a two-CPU SMP computer with twice the CPU power available. /1/ http://howto.x-tend.be/openMosixWiki/index.php/FAQ#.27What_is_openMosix.3F.27 Regards, -- Patrick Kirsch - Quality Assurance Department SUSE Linux Products GmbH GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
