The XtreemOS project has released the second public version of its Linux-based Grid operating system.

The consortium conceived and integrated a platform of open source technologies to enable easier usage, management, scalabilty and programming on top of Grid computing resources.
The designers say it should bring new capabilties to grids, such as easing job submission and monitoring, while providing a comprehensive security implementation and virtual organization management.

XtreemOS comes in three flavors:

•The PC flavor makes it possible to aggregate standalone PCs as computation resources into grids.

•The XtreemOS cluster flavor is based on Kerrighed's LinuxSSI (single system image) technology. LinuxSSI is a Linux cluster providing users an image of a single large system.

•The third flavor, XtreemOS Mobile, has been tailored to run XtreemOS services on
mobile devices, such as Nokia Internet Tablets.

XtreemOS is open source and GPL/BSD licensed. For more info please send an email.

The software can be downloaded from the project website.
The source code is also available.

Also available in the distribution are sample applications and demos.
