摘要: Scalable computing clusters (SCC) are becoming an alternative to mainframes and MPP's for the execution of high performance, demanding applications in multi-user, time-sharing environments. In order better utilize multiple resources such systems, it is necessary develop means cluster wide resource allocation sharing, that will make SCC easy program use. This paper presents details a memory ushering algorithm among nodes SCC. allows node which has exhausted its main use available other nodes. The first results simulations several algorithms process placement It then describes MOSIX multicomputer operating system performance.
