19.1. General

The openMosix system is a Linux kernel extension for single-image clustering. It extends the outstanding MOSIX project, but is instead licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

There are many varieties of clusters, and a single-image cluster has multiple copies of a single operating system kernel. .:: telegra.ph ::.

3. Italian Language openMosix Mailing List hosted by Democritos (the INFM National Simulation Center in Trieste)

Yes. The openMosix effort already has more than 10 contributors. Unlike the Linux kernel maintenance system, Moshe Bar appoints official maintainers and then gives these maintainers the commit bit to the openMosix CVS source tree, similarly to FreeBSD. [Google Scholar: Linux]

Right now we are looking for more experienced kernel hackers to work on new features like checkpoint/restart. .:: aboutpharmacistjobs.com ::.

Originally, openMosix was a fork of MOSIX, but it has evolved into an advanced clustering platform. The openMosix system no longer contains any non-GPL (i.e. MOSIX) code.

Compared to MOSIX, a number of features were added:

The principal issue was that MOSIX was not licensed with an Open Source license.
