This might be interesting : I found this announcement on freshmeat : MOSIX for Linux MOSIX is being ported to Linux. MOSIX lets you start a process on one machine, and have it automatically and transparently migrated to another one when the load on its "home" machine becomes too high. So you can write a massively parallel application just by having your application fork into different processes, they will be automatically load-balanced to available machines. It's not quite yet available, but there's some preliminary information available here. ( http://www.mosix.cs.huji.ac.il/ ) This really sounds cool, unfortunatelly it is not released yet ( but a version for BSD/OS is ). -- David Balazic , student E-mail : 1stein@writeme.com | living in sLOVEnija home page: http://surf.to/stein Computer: Amiga 1200 + Quantum LPS-340AT -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.altern.org/andrebalsa/doc/lkml-faq.html
