[cluster-l] SMP and Standard Multi-Processing on a singlecluster

[Christopher D. Clausen]

Am I correct in seeing that Cluster OpenMP is a commercial product that 
isn't freely available?

Is there a cluster package that allows a fork / exec to automatially 
migrate to remote machines as well as MPI code to run on the machines? 
(Not neccessarily simultaneously.)

We've purchased 9 Intel Quad core machines for: 
http://www-illigal.ge.uiuc.edu/ and I'm wondering the best thing to run 
on them.  (Quad cores were purchased b/c the developers stated that 
their code scaled nearly linearly with the number of cores on the 
machine.)  We currently have some gentoo based openmosix clusters and 
I'd like to move away from that.
