here are the symbols in mosix.o (sorry i didn't do this first .....) 00000004 C _Tblock 0000f5f0 D _Tload 00000004 C _Tlstay 00000004 C _Tquiet 00000004 C _Tstay 00000004 C _Tvis 0000eb6c T _absorb_ticks 0000018c T _add_statistics_to_ancesstor 00002bcc T _adhoc 00008c08 T _adjust_latecomers 0000ec6c T _age_pages 00002a70 T _ask_deputy_to_goto 00003530 T _balpriority 00005f0c T _become_deputy_after_syscall 00003294 T _bring_all_back 0000d58c T _bump_running 0000d138 T _calc_load 0000e618 T _calc_utime 00000ef0 T _call_for_mem_balance 0000eadc T _can_read_kmem 00008d58 T _cancel_all_migrations 00006280 T _check_migrations 0000dec8 T _check_signals etc. etc. etc. Looks like lots of stuff in there absent source. My guess is: no source. on a different note: bsd clustering is a good idea, and in fact I make money here at sarnoff doing it, and have been doing so for the past few years. I paid for my first 16-node cluster in less than 6 months. But I don't sell clusters, I do computing for people and/or sell turnkey software to run jobs on clusters. For success: transparency at all levels is not the issue. Migration is not always needed. In fact lots of stuff that may appeal to us as CS types is not necessarily what customers need, e.g. CORBA. What's needed is one of: 1) turnkey application 2) C compiler which hides the cluster. This is transparancy at the compiler level, but note it is NOT transparency at many other levels. The distinction is essential. I've used this (we built one at SRC) and it's nice. 3) some sort of simple graphical front-end to start up, monitor, and control tasks (we use TK) ron
