SSS-PC is an operating system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system) (kernel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_%28computer_science%29)) with powerful scalability and load-balancing capabilities, created in Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan) by Takashi MATSUMOTO with superior functions for clustering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cluster), parallel processing and targeting server applications. Linux (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux) or Unix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix) applications can be ported to SSS-PC directly. The C (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_programming_language) language BSD library is used. Instead of TCP/IP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Tokyo).

I understand this was built for server integration but this would make a damn fine desktop, bundled with Ubuntu:

Operating System that integrates PCs and servers.

SSS-PC project team developped the next generation operating system `SSS-PC (http://www.ssspc.org/ssspc/gloss.html#naming)' (pronounced `three ess pc') Ver. 1.0 which runs on personal computers (PC). SSS-PC is being developped at Information Science Laboratory, Ltd. (http://www.isll.co.jp/) and will be released as its main product in the future.

SSS-PC is the dependable scalable operating system feturing unique new technologies such as Memory Based Communication Facility (MBCF) and Information Disclosure Mechanism (IDM) in addition to basic kernel functions such as memory protection and multitasking.
SSS-PC has task migration (http://www.ssspc.org/ssspc/feature-e.html#migration) functionality and a unique scheduling system based on Free Marked Mechanism (FMM) (http://www.ssspc.org/ssspc/feature-e.html#fmm) and lets users perform maintenance jobs such as machine replacement, hardware component inspection and dynamic system reconfiguration without stopping running applications. The project team is working hard to alpha release SSS-PC by the end of 2003. The project team will reinforce SSS-PC with high dependable features to make it a foundation platform of dependable computing.
Below are poster pictures describing SSS-PC's features and performance evaluations. PDF versions are availble.

I know I am bumping a very old thread, but I do have some experience in running SSS-PC. I somehow or another acquired the ISO to install it, and I ran in in a virtual machine. However, I no longer have the ISO file, and do not know where I would go about finding another copy.

I would love any information about how to get a copy of this OS. (SSS-CORE)

Not sure if anyone cares (or the OP notices) but I found the ISO for SSS.
