No, MOSIX (Now OpenMOSIX) is/was a Linux kernel patch for clustering.
There are the MPI and PVM parallelization libraries for clustering, but
applications generally have to be written specifically to use them.
Actually what you're describing sounds like SETI@Home or one of those
other idle-time-distributed-computing novelties.
