Hello

Has somebody any experiences made with multitasking on openMosix clusters?
Do Ada tasks migrate?

Thanks for any hint.

Roger

OpenMosix will not migrate programs with multiple threads.   A GNAT task (typically)
maps to a thread, so more than one task means your program won't migrate.  However
I understand that GNAT supports another tasking implementation (FSU threads?)
where there is just one thread that emulates several threads (I may have this
wrong).  In which case a program using the FSU threading implementation should be
migrateable even if it has multiple tasks.

Duncan.
