MOSIX* is a cluster operating system targeted for high performance computing on Linux platforms, including clusters, multi-clusters, GPU clusters and Clouds. MOSIX incorporates dynamic resource discovery and automatic workload distribution, commonly found on single computers with multiple processors. In a MOSIX system, users can run applications by creating multiple processes, then let MOSIX seek resources and automatically distribute processes among available nodes to improve the overall performance.
MOSIX is implemented as a software layer that provides to users and applications with an unmodified Linux run-time environment. As a result, users do not need to modify or link applications with any library, login to remote nodes or even copy files to remote nodes.
MOSIX Version 1 was originally developed to manage a single cluster. MOSIX Version 2 for Linux-2.6 and Linux-3 was extended with a comprehensive set of new features that can manage clusters, multi-clusters and Clouds.
For further information see the Latest release and changelog, the MOSIX white paper, our recent publications, the Overview and the Tutorialpresentations, and the HUGI campus multi-cluster.
