The Amoeba Distributed Operating System
This development raises the question of what kind of software will be needed for these new systems. To answer this question, a group under the direction of Prof. Andrew S. Tanenbaum at the Vrije Universiteit (VU) in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) has been doing research since 1980 in the area of distributed computer systems. This research, partly done in cooperation with the Centrum voor Wiskunde ...
متن کاملThe Amoeba distributed operating system - A status report
As the price of CPU chips continues to fall rapidly, it will soon be economically feasible to build computer systems containing a large number of processors. The question of how this computing power should be organized, and what kind of operating system is appropriate then arises. Our research during the past decade has focused on these issues and led to the design of a distributed operating sy...
متن کاملThe Performance of the Amoeba Distributed Operating system
Amoeba is a capability-based distributed operating system designed for high performance interactions between clients and servers using the well-known RPC model. The paper starts out by describing the architecture of the Amoeba system, which is typified by specialized components such as workstations, several services, a processor pool, and gateways that connect other Amoeba systems transparently...

A brief description of this unique distributed operating system is presented in this paper. The paper begins with some background information on research activities in Amoeba. This discussion is followed by a look at the system arc...
متن کاملBeyond UNIX—A True Distributed System for the 1990s
UNIX has been around now for almost 20 years. At the time UNIX began, most departments felt themselves well-endowed indeed if they owned a single PDP-11/45 with 256K memory and a 2.5M RK05 disk. Nowadays a laptop would be embarrassed to have only that. It is our hypothesis that UNIX is no longer the appropriate kind of operating system for the 1990s. In this paper, a new system, Amoeba, will be...
