i've got me some pIIIs and pIIs, and I wanna cluster them together. Do I have to compile all of the kernels and software for the pII instruction set, or does it matter?

From the OpenMOSIX FAQ ...
Quote:
What does the phrase the same kernel on every machine mean? Does it mean the same kernel version, or the same kernel image?:

It means the same kernel version. You can build different kernel images of the same source version to meet the hardware/software needs of a given node.

So, it appears you can build some of the kernels for your PIII's and others for your PII's with no problem. My OpenMOSIX cluster has 100% identical machines, so I myself have never tested with different processor archetectures.

If you're still doubtful, I'd suggest running the stress test tools that come with OpenMOSIX. If they work, I'd say it's safe to build for different processors.
