From OpenMosixWiki

The following applications run as intended on the home node, but do not migrate under openMosix:

Please note that some of these applications might benefit from Migration using the new migshm patch. This however still has to be tested. [1]

• Java programs using native threads do not migrate since they use shared memory. Green Threads JVMs, however, allow for migration because each Java thread is a separate process.

• Applications using pthreads

• mySQL , uses shared memory.

• Sybase, uses threads and shared memory

• Apache uses shared memory.

• Mathematica front end, uses shared memory. (Mathkernel, the part that does most computations, does migrate. v5)

• SAP, uses shared memory

• Oracle, uses shared memory

• Baan, uses shared memory

• Postgres, uses shared memory

• Python with threading enabled

• VMWare : openMosix should now run nicely inside vmware workstation 5.5, but some people still report problems.

• Transcode, shared memory [2] 0.6rc2

However, there is a cluster mode | built into Transcode.

• Programs compiled with Intel Fortran Compiler (version 7.0.064). The latest version (7.0.079) works. The problem is that all programs compiled with 7.0.064 memory-map /dev/zero on initialization, and since openMosix can't migrate processes with memory-mapped devices migration fails.

Not Migrating is the normal situation for programs that would otherwise fail if allowed to migrate under openMosix. These programs will still run as intended on the home node.

Applications using shared memory or threads of any kind (except Java threads in green thread JVMs) cannot be migrated by openMosix. These applications run fine on an openMosix node, but they will not migrate.

There are also some applications which may not fully benefit from migration due to requirements that force them to use the home node resources.

Note that program failures, such as segfaults, should be reported to the Mailing List for immediate resolution.

The Valve Counter-Strike and Half-Life servers (hlds1 and srcds1) run and migrate perfectly. However, users connected to those servers notice an annoying pause in game-play when a migration is in progress.
