Has anyone contacted them? (I emailed but I > think it's aabbath over there). I don't know the status of MOSIX, but for your information, there is another multi-computer parallel machine based on FreeBSD, made in France by a collaboration of different universities. This low cost/high performance parallel computer, named MPC, is based on a network of CPU boards running a modified version of FreeBSD (new kernel services, modifications and additions of new functionnalities in the VM subsystem, and new drivers for the interconnection network). The boards are interconnected with a custom interconnection network of routers, developped at UPMC, each router containing 8 full-duplex 1 GigaBit/s asynchronous serial links.
