Welcome to the LinuxPMI Project
What is LinuxPMI?
- LinuxPMI is a set of Linux kernel patches implementing process "migration" over a network. its goal is to allow you to move a program from your machine to another machine, run it there for a while, and return it without it ever knowing it was gone.
- LinuxPMI is derived from the failed, now dead OpenMosix 2.6 branch.
What are we up to?
- The major work here is on the patch commentaries, as we document the current 2.6.17 & 2.6.28.7 patch sets.
- Some informal guidelines on patch quality levels have been developed.
- In addition, we've been progressively breaking up the 2.6.17 patches as we commentary them, and working on the 2.6.28.7 branch forward ported by g_remlin, as its commentaried.
- We've documented a LinuxPMI Kernel Testing Procedure.
- Uses interested in testing LinuxPMI should read the Users Guide.
- Frequently Asked Questions go here.
- We're using git as a VCS, with some documentation at GitLinuxPMI-HOWTO. -- Work in progress
- Join us on irc on freenode at irc.freenode.net #LinuxPMI!
- Our Mailing List -- Courtesy of shogunx -- Note: we lost the user database about 02/20/2009! people should re-subscribe!
- Our TODO list -- A good place for incoming developers to start at!
- Status -- The last tested status of various versions.
Old OpenMosix 2.6 PRE-ALPHA Stuff
- The old upstream OpenMosix 2.6 Wiki is at http://howto.krisbuytaert.be/openMosixWiki/index.php/OpenMosix2.6 .
- Thanks to joejaxx, the files that were originally at http://openmosix.unfreeze.net/releases/ are now available at http://linuxpmi.org/openmosix/archives/
