Question:

What is MOSIX

Answer:

MOSIX is an operating system like management system targeted for High Performance Computing (HPC) on Linux clusters and multi-clusters.

Its main feature is to provide users and applications with the illusion of running on a single computer with multiple processors, without changing the interface and the run-time environment of their respective login nodes.

More information can be found in the About web page and "The MOSIX Management System for Linux Clusters and Multi-clusters" white paper.
