MOSIX* is a cluster management system that provides a single-system image for parallel computing on Linux clusters and multi-cluster private Clouds. MOSIX incorporates proactive resource discovery and workload distribution for even distribution of processes among available nodes.

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 applications or login to remote nodes.

The latest release of MOSIX no longer requires a patch to the Linux kernel..

For further information see the Latest release and changelog, white paper, publications, Overview and Tutorialpresentations.
