Question:

How to run JAVA programs

Answer:

JAVA supports (shared-memory) threads (the "CLONE_VM" system-call), which is not suitable for distributed-memory architectures (clusters). This means that JAVA jobs can be queued and assigned by MOSIX to nodes only as regular Linux processes (with the "mosrun -E" flag).

A JAVA job should be started by:

> mosrun -E -b java job

MOSIX will assign each job to the best node in the local cluster.
