3000 Scenarios Simulated (First 1000 Results Pictured)

The average slowdown over all executions for the Mosix Strategy was 8.557. The average slowdown over all executions for the Enhanced Mosix Strategy was 7.479.

In the simulations, the Enhanced Mosix Strategy cut about 13% off of Mosix’s average slowdown. This is an exciting result. While Mosix’s strategy is ultimately heuristic, it has the advantage of many years of testing, thought, and development.
