Scalable Cluster Computing With MOSIX for LINUX

Category: Data Management, Desktops, Laptops and OS, Servers and Server OS

Overview Mosix is a software tool for supporting cluster computing. It consists of kernel-level, adaptive resource sharing algorithms that are geared for high performance, overhead-free scalability and ease-of-use of a scalable computing cluster. The core of the Mosix technology is the capability of multiple workstations and servers (nodes) to work cooperatively as if part of a single system. The algorithms of Mosix are designed to respond to variations in the resource usage among the nodes by migrating processes from one node to another, preemptively and transparently, for load-balancing and to prevent memory depletion at any node. So far Mosix was developed 7 times, for different version of Unix, BSD and most recently for Linux. This paper describes the 7-th version of Mosix, for Linux.
