Parallel knoppix sounds cool. Did the os's on each machine coordinate in any way at the kernel level? Or was it all user level libs/apps/services?

- mat_epice 4y agoAlmost certainly user level libraries. Coordinating at the kernel level is either a single system image[1] or a distributed operating system[2], which are very uncommon in scientific computing.
