Has anyone gotten it to work in useful way in recent years?
- mlyle 7y agoThis. I'm really bummed that so many of these things-- OpenMosix, OpenSSI, Kerrighed, etc, have died. There's a lot of utility in stitching together many systems into one-- a middle ground between loosely coupled application-controlled distributed concurrency and tightly coupled SMP/NUMA. Like if you want a big multiuser build farm, for instance, where you're not drowning in IPC and synchronization, but not everything maps well to distcc.

There's also still (proprietary) bproc: https://www.penguincomputing.com/documentation/scyld-clusterware/6/admin-guide/admin-guide/sysdesign.html#bproc-distributed-process-space https://www.penguincomputing.com/documentation/scyld-cluster...
