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. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Computer Science,$x0302-9743 ;$v672 606 $aOperating systems (Computers) 606 $aComputer communication systems 606 $aOperating Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14045 606 $aComputer Communication Networks$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13022 615 0$aOperating systems (Computers). 615 0$aComputer communication systems. 615 14$aOperating Systems. 615 24$aComputer Communication Networks. 676 $a005.4/4 700 $aBarak$b Amnon$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0714553 702 $aGuday$b Shai$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aWheeler$b Richard G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466079403316 996 $aThe MOSIX Distributed Operating System$92831382 997 $aUNISA
