openMosix 2.6 update and AMD_Opteron Port

Cupertino (April 14, 2005) - The openMosix Project has announced the release 
of openMosix version 2.6.

Moshe Bar, openMosix founder and project leader, has announced the port of 
openMosix to Linux 2.6.  This rewrite of openMosix includes the first port 
of openMosix to the AMD Opteron™.

openMosix 2.6 for Opteron was first installed at the University of Pisa.

openMosix 2.6 moves much of the patch’s code from the kernel to user space. 
This brings a very significant improvement which provides improved 
performance, makes user land tools easier to implement, and most 
significantly, simplifies porting to new kernel versions including AMD 
Opteron™, Intel® EM64T, and PowerPPC.

openMosix is a Linux kernel extension for single-system image (SSI) 
clustering that allows building a cluster from ordinary networked computers. 
Applications benefit without modification specifically for openMosix.
