>9.2. Creating a "Master" node</H1
><P
>Although openMosix architcture does not require a master node as such,
you might want to have a head node from where you launch processes, this might
be a multihomed node from where users log in to your cluster.
You want to configure your machine to make processes
migrate away</P
><P
>You have to trick the node in thinking it is the slowest node around and
it'd better migrate all it's processes to the faster nodes.</P
><P
>You will have to make it "slow" with :

where n should be much lower than the speed of the
other nodes Processes will move/migrate away fast.
You can get the speed of a node with :
