I agree tony that paying for such crap is not very good idea.
You might want to move to open-ssi in this case; the project is alive
and there is in theory work getting
performed on support for cards over infiniband as well.
Most importantly is that you are gonna get more replies.
Additionally the manner open-ssi implements shared memory is very
transparant; in principle on each write it migrates a page
to the node writing.
Maybe the only big lack of open-ssi is its limited support so far for
highend network cards.

Below is a recent question you posted concerning usage of
MOSIX2. I am also considering MOSIX2 for a test cluster of 64
nodes. I was not able to find any responses to your question and
wondered if you received any communications on MOSIX2 or if you
have more information on your decision.
Hello, Keith.
No, you are the only person to respond about MOSIX2 so far!
I've got to admit that although I'm very happy with my experience
of openMosix I can't continue using it without the support of the
rest of the openMosix community.
So far, I've been in touch with Amnon Barak ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
who put me in contact with his MOSIX2 developer Amnon Shiloh
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) of Shiloh Distributed Solutions Pty/Ltd.:
http://www.mosix.com.au/
He confirmed that MOSIX2 is 'free' for academic use, but even so I
would have to pay them $1,000 per year to obtain 'updates' and run
the current version. I don't rule this out, but I'm not entirely
happy about it.
Please let me know about other people you know who might be
interested in using MOSIX2. I've cc'ed this email to the Beowulf
list in case there are other people on the list using or interested
in trying out MOSIX2.
Thanks for getting in touch,
Tony.
