This book describes the design and internals of the MOSIX
distributed operating system. MOSIX, an acronym for Multicomputer
Operating System for UNIX, integrates a cluster of loosely
integrated computers into a virtual single-machine UNIX
environment. The main property of MOSIX is the high degree of
integration among the processors, which may include personal
workstations and shared memory and non-shared memory
multiprocessors, connected by fast communication links. This
integration includes network transparency, cooperation between the
processors to provide services across machine boundaries, support
of dynamic configuration, and system-initiated load balancing by
process migration. Another property of MOSIX is the ability to
scale up the system configuration to encompass a large number of
computers. The development of MOSIX was begun in 1981. The book is
intended primarily for readers who are interested in distributed
and multiprocessor systems. The reader is assumed to have some
knowledge in programming and operating systems, preferably UNIX.
Readers without this background will still benefit from
thetechniques and algorithms discussed.
