Taken from the SacLUG.org website:

  MOSIX is a cluster management system that can make an x86 Linux
  cluster run like a single high performance parallel computer. It is
  particularly useful to run intensive computing and massive I/O
  applications.

  In a MOSIX cluster there is no need to modify or to link applications
  with any library, or even to assign processes to different nodes,
  MOSIX does it automatically - just fork and forget, like in an SMP.

  MOSIX supports different cluster types, including clusters with
  different CPU speeds, like our 72 processors cluster


Enjoy!
