Question:

What is MOSIX

Answer:

MOSIX is a cluster and multi-cluster operating system targeted for High Performance Computing (HPC) on x86 Linux platforms, including clusters, multi-clusters, GPU clusters and clouds.

MOSIX supports both interactive processes and batch jobs and it incorporates automatic resource discovery and dynamic workload distribution. The MOSIX features 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 login nodes.
