Overview

MOSIX^* is a cluster operating system targeted for distributed computing on Linux clusters and multi-cluster private Clouds. MOSIX incorporates dynamic resource discovery and automatic workload distribution. In a MOSIX system, users can run applications by creating multiple processes, then let MOSIX seek resources and automatically distribute 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 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 our campus Cloud.
