Description
[
edit
]
CHAOS creates a basic
node
in an OpenMosix cluster and is typically not deployed on its own; cluster builders will use feature-rich Linux distributions (such as
Quantian
or
ClusterKnoppix
) as a "head node" in a cluster to provide their application software, while the CHAOS distribution runs on "drone nodes" to provide "dumb power" to the cluster.
While this deployment model suits the typical cluster builder, OpenMosix is a peer-based cluster, consisting of only one type of node. All OpenMosix nodes are inherently equal and each can be, simultaneously, parent and child.
