MOSIX for Linux-2.6

MOSIX version 2 (MOSIX2) for Linux-2.6 can manage a Linux cluster and a multi-cluster.

Main cluster features
  • Provides a single-system image: users can login on any cluster node, they do not need to know where their programs run, link application with special libraries or copy files to remote nodes.
  • Automatic resource discovery.
  • Dynamic workload distribution by preemptive process migration from slower to faster nodes, for load-balancing and if nodes run out of free memory.
  • Direct communication between migrated processes.
  • Migrated (guest) processes run in a sandbox.
  • Live queuing, batch jobs, checkpoints.
  • Supports both 32 & 64-bit x86 architectures.
  • Automatic installation and configuration.
  • On-line monitors.
  • Additional multi-cluster features
  • Supports disruptive configurations: clusters can join or be disconnected at any time.
  • Guest processes move out before disconnecting a cluster.
  • Clusters can be shared symmetrically or asymmetrically.
  • Cluster owner can assign different priorities to guest processes from other clusters.
