  • Nodes can be added or be disconnected at any time.
  • MRC can run application on a cloud without pre-copying files to the cloud.
  • Can run in non-virtualised or VM environments.
  • VMs can run on Linux or Windows.
  • A pre-installed virtual-disk image is provided.
  • Can be combined with VCL to create a GPU cluster.
  • Further information is available in the User's and Administrator's Guides and Manuals and the White Paper.

    MOSIX Reach the Clouds (MRC)

    MRC is a tool that allows applications to start on your workstation or your cluster and run in remote nodes on other clusters, e.g. on clouds, without pre-copying files to these remote nodes.

    Main MRC features
  • Runs on Linux clusters, with or without MOSIX.
  • No need to pre-copy files to remote clusters.
  • Applications can access both local and remote files.
  • Supports file sharing among different computers.
  • Stdin/out/err are preserved locally.
  • Can be combined with "mosrun" on remote MOSIX clusters.
  • A copy of MRC is included in all the MOSIX distributions for Linux-2.6.30 onwards.
