The openMosix Cluster Listing

Introduction

THIS SITE IS CLOSED Although I will not be taking it down at the time, my involvement in OpenMOSIX is long since ended and the project itself is shutting down as of March 2008. I suggest looking into something like MPI or xcpu.

This aims to be a listing of most if not all computer clusters that use openMosix. As the project site explains, openMosix is a kernel-level load-distributing system for Linux.

If you have an openMosix cluster, send me the same kind of information as show in other entries. I can be reached at di gi@nu wen.net (remove spaces to send email).

The List

When I get some more clusters submitted, I will divide up the cluster list by number of nodes, but for now they are all lumped together.
