does anyone know an altenative to openmosix?? would it be worth reviving the development of the kernel?
OpenMOSIX was all about process migration between different independent OSes. You can still get some of that with Scyld, with OpenSSI, and a few others.
If you prefer more of an SMP model (simpler programming), you should look at ScaleMP DSMs. Some on this list argue the shared memory programming is not easier than distributed memory programming, though I am not one of them who makes this argument. It has different challenges, costs and benefits than MPI. It has different limitations. Not so surprisingly, with the advent of many-core units, shared memory programming techniques are needed to get good performance within a single system.
Disclosure: We are looking at these units for some of our work.
