Re: Forked Processes Won't Migrate, Perl & ForkManager

Hi,

especially if you start lots of processes on a machine at once, it may
take a time until they are distributed over the cluster. The processes I
start take usually days, not seconde, so the migration delay does not
matter for me. You might have more success if you explicitely start the
processes on a specific node (as mosrun or runon do). Your controlling
app can use the information in the /proc filesystem to find out the
number of nodes, their openmosix id's etc, and decide based on this
information how many processes to start at once and on which nodes.
