Abstract

It is possible to make high calculation capacity machines by the interconnection of equipments with high speed networks. This kind of systems is called distributed systems and nowadays they are the most used technology in order to resolve problems that require high calculation capacity. Thus, computer clusters are being developed. Clustering allows multiple computers to work together to solve common computing problems. In this paper, one of the different types of clusters is presented, openMosix. The work also evaluates the cluster by two case studies, where the execution time of the solved problems is improved.
