Hello, Mhdez.

It depends what you mean by 'heterogeneous', and 'efficient'...

We've got various different motherboards with Athlon XP2400+/2600+, 
Athlon64 and Opteron. To get this all working together, you need a 
'lowest common denominator' openMosix kernel. I use the 2.4.26 32-bit 
kernel with 'K7' optimisations on all our nodes, including AMD64's.

I'm looking forward to trying out the 64-bit version of the 2.6 
openMosix kernel, but it won't run on any of our 32-bit CPU's ;-)

Best wishes,

	Tony.
