MOSIX is a management system targeted for high performance computing on Linux clusters and multi-clusters. It supports both interactive processes and batch jobs. MOSIX can be viewed as a multi-cluster operating system that incorporates dynamic resource discovery and automatic workload distribution, commonly found on single computers with multiple processors.

In MOSIX there is no need to modify or link applications with any library, copy files or login to remote nodes, or even assign processes to different nodes. It is all done automatically, just fork and forget.

The latest production distribution is MOSIX for Linux-2.6 (MOSIX2). This distribution supports dynamic configurations of multiple clusters (both private and shared) in organizational grids.

Latest MOSIX2 news:

  • RPMs for openSUSE 11.0 (32-bit and 64-bit) were released.
  • MOSIX-2.25.0.0 for Linux-2.6.28 was released.
  • A free evaluation copy of a pre-installed virtual-disk image for creating a MOSIX virtual cluster on Linux and/or Windows computers was released.
  • A changelog is available here.
  • A free evaluation copy is available for non-profit use.
