[Openmosix-Devel] Openmosix suggestion?

[Pontius, B. D C. N. <bri...@na...>]

To all,

I am very new to openmosix. I have been reading through the wiki etc...
and I have an idea that I thought I would suggest to you openmosix
experts.

There are obviously some applications that cannot be migrated because
they are using shared memory or pthreads.  What if we put these
applications behind a "virtualization layer"?  Here is what I mean.
When using vmware, you create a virtual machine and it talks to virtual
hardware. What if we could start these applications and have it talk to
virtual hardware controlled by openmosix.  The openmosix processes would
communicate between nodes and translate those virtual requests into
physical requests giving the responses back to the originating process.=20

I am not a developer, just an SA, so if I have considered something that
impossible, impractical or stupid, please accept my apologizes and help
me understand.
Let me know what you think.

Thanks
