MOSIX* is a cluster operating system targeted for high performance computing on Linux clusters, multi-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 applications or login to remote nodes.
The latest release of MOSIX is for Linux-3.
For further information see the Latest release and changelog, the white paper, our recent publications, the Overview and the Tutorialpresentations, and the HUGI campus Cloud.
