Hi all,
I'm running SL on a set of Athlon64 x2 boxes in a small-college, teaching environment. I ran across a link today to openMosix, which sounds at least like a beautiful idea that would turn most any heterogeneous cluster into a SMP-like machine. I'm writing to inquire if anyone using SL has also installed openMosix. I'm comfortable with building software, configuring MPICH etc, but configuring/compiling a new kernel (which openMosix seems to require) goes beyond my experience.
(1) my machine is:
[root@sebastopol temp]# uname -a
Linux sebastopol 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 17:26:55 CDT 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Should openMosix work with this system (particularly the 2.6 kernel part)
(2) once installed, would openMosix allow MPICH to run on top of the SMP system?
regards.
