SSS-PC is an operating system (kernel) with powerful scalability and load-balancing capabilities, created in Japan by Takashi MATSUMOTO with superior functions for clustering, parallel processing and targeting server applications. Linux or Unix applications can be ported to SSS-PC directly. The C language BSD library is used. Instead of TCP/IP an original protocol called Memory Based Communications Facilities (MBCF) was created. It has a unique scheduling strategy called Free Market Mechanism (FMM).
The OS is meant to be inexpensive, high-performing and built to run as a server for telecommunications systems capable of running 24 hours a day, non-stop. When connected to other servers in a cluster, it brings about powerful concurrent or parallel processing, high speed communication and automatic cluster reconstruction capabilities (when one server or processing unit breaks downs, this is detected and other members of the cluster automatically compensate for the failure).
Takashi MATSUMOTO is a professor at the University of Tokyo.
