How does OpenSSI relate to OpenMosix in kernel development? Are both platforms moving in parallel lines or does OpenSSI rely on OpenMosix development to move forward? IE OpenMosix has been working on a 2.6 kernel with only alpha results for a long time. Is this holding back OpenSSI from producing a production version of a 2.6 based release or are there some really significant hurtles that 2.6 presents that neither project working independently can overcome?

OpenSSI development (kernel-2.6) is not waiting for OpenMosix-2.6.x.=20 OpenSSI development's process migration and process load-balancing seems to function - without much targetted testing though (not that I know).

The only thing that OpenSSI took from OpenMosix was the process migration algorithm. That means the code that decide which process need to be removed. The framework for process migration is better in OpenSSI and can work with different load levelling algorithm. As such there is no dependency between the release process of these projects. The stable release of openssi v2 is taking time because we are still stabilizing the code base. -aneesh |
