GoMF is an openMosix Linux mini-distribution that fits on a single floppy. Its purpose is to rapidly increase CPU and memory capabilities to an openMosix cluster.
This software tool uses the Linux 2.4.24-om BusyBox Openmosix-tools-0.3.6-2 replimenu. Additionally, it also comes with a simple menu system using replimenu for starting and stopping the openMosix services as well as changing the IP address. By default, the IP address is acquired by DHCP. The kernel supports several network card inline (mainly 10/100 BaseT). In the future, the software’s developers hope to create an optional supplemental disk with modules for other network cards.
GoMF is an ideal solution to add extra CPU/Memory resources to any openMosix cluster with just a single floppy. It is important to note that for this software tool to be effective, an established openMosix node is necessary.
Users are introduced to the openMosix Community, which is very active and has contributed a number of helpful add-ons, including a shared applications list. With openMosix, users can achieve reliable, fast and cost-efficient SSI clustering. The kernel patch for Linux creates a linearly scalable and adaptive solution. With the Auto Discovery feature, a new node can be added while the cluster is running, thus increasing the available resources.
In conclusion, GoMF is an excellent software tool for individuals and businesses looking to boost their openMosix cluster performance. With its user-friendly interface and powerful capabilities, it is a must-have tool for anyone who wants to achieve optimal performance from their openMosix cluster.
