Im not familiar with openmosix actually.. |

We use Grid Engine 6 (which is where qsub comes from) It manages jobs |
| 4 |
that users submit. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Each system runs Gentoo with a slew of parallel enabled programs like |
| 7 |
Fluctuate, ClustalW, MrBayes, Emboss and such. These get scheduled |
| 8 |
using grid engine. (you submit the job with qsub, then it waits for a |
| 9 |
given number of systems to become idle before starting it) |

If you are looking to design a cluster you can check out Dr. Amit |
| 12 |
Jain's cluster installation guide. He spent months testing every |
| 13 |
component he could get his hands on before building his cluster. He |
| 14 |
produced some really cool documents with wide ranges of cluster |
| 15 |
design in them. |

They can be found at: http://cs.boisestate.edu/~amit/teaching/430/ |

He also has tons of tutorials on using OpenPBS (A grid Engine like |
| 21 |
project) and PVM and such. |

(Dr. Jain is like my favorite instructor of all time.. He is a |
| 25 |
cluster and Linux guru.. =) |
