[edit] Background

Kerrighed was implemented as an extension to the Linux operating system. It helps scientific applications such as numerical simulations to use more power. Such applications may be using OpenMP, Message Passing Interface, and/or a Posix multithreaded programming model.[1]

Kerrighed provides several features such as a DSM with a sequential consistency model, processes migration from one cluster node to another, and to a limited extent checkpointing. Kerrighed introduces a container concept: this entity is an abstraction of both files and memory.
