The Amoeba Distributed Operating System
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 en Informatica (CWI), has resulted in the development of a new distributed operating system, called Amoeba, designed for an environment consisting of a large number of computers.

An Introduction to the Amoeba Distributed Operating System
The Amoeba Operating System has been in use in academia, research and industry for quite some time. It is a powerful micro kernel based distributed operating system. 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 کاملAmoeba made compatible with Unix : the ADE
This paper 1 reports a recent development on the Amoeba distributed operating system | the ADE emulation system, which aims at making Amoeba fully compatible with the Unix (POSIX) operating system so that existing Unix applications can directly run on the Amoeba system and immediately beneet from the use of the Amoeba multiple processors.
متن کاملAn interaction network monitor for Amoeba
The interaction network has been proposed as a way of representing interactive processing in a distributed system, and an interaction network monitor for SunOS was developed in earlier work. This paper describes development of an interaction network monitor for Amoeba, the rst interaction network monitor for a distributed operating system. Case studies are used to show some of the types of info...
متن کاملProcess Migration and Load Balancing in Amoeba
This paper reports our experience in adding process migration to the distributed operating system Amoeba, and the results of a series of experiments to evaluate its usefulness for load balancing. After describing our design goals, we present our implementation for Amoeba, and performance figures which indicate that the speed of process migration is limited only by the throughput of the network ...
متن کاملImplementation of Process Migration in Amoeba
The design of a process migration mechanism for the Amoeba distributed operating system is described. The primary motivation for this implementation is to carry out experimental and realistic studies of load balancing algorithms for a distributed operating system. Our aim has been the implementation of a mechanism which is general, efficient and fully transparent, and which is reliable in the p...
