Question:

What are the main benefits of MOSIX

Answer:

A single-system image - users can login on any node and do not need to know the state of the (cluster) resources or where their programs run.

In a MOSIX cluster/multi-cluster there is no need to modify or to link applications with any library, copy files or login to remote nodes, or even assign processes to different nodes, including nodes in different clusters - it is all done automatically.

The outcome is ease of use, better utilization of resources and near maximal performance.
