We've looked at using UML. While the description is similar, UML is not the same kind of system as VMWare. - UML requires specially modified kernels - UML ties you to a single kernel and configuration - UML kernels are only usable in UML mode VMWare creates emulated physical machines, which can run any kernel and environment. Running VMWare on compute nodes allows the cluster to run and manage both native and alien (e.g. Microsoft) applications. -- Donald Becker becker at scyld.com Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Scyld Beowulf cluster system Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993
