PVM on the RHODOS Distributed Operating System

چکیده
This report describes the design and implementation of a syntax-compatible version of the PVM parallel processing tool for the RHODOS distributed operating system. The implementation of the Unix version of the tool is examined in detail, and the design of the tool for RHODOS is presented with a discussion of issues raised by the introduction of a distributed operating system.

Performance Studies of RHODOS ’ Operating System Embedded Distributed Shared Memory
Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) is an abstraction for shared memory on a system where the memory is physically distributed which allows programmers to take advantage of the increased processing power provided by a Clusters of Workstations (COW). We have integrated DSM into the RHODOS operating system rather than to put this paradigm on top of an operating system, as have other researchers. RHOD...
متن کاملLoop parallelisation using a simple parallelising compiler with the RHODOS distributed system
The procedure of parallelising a sequential task can be very difficult and even with considerable experience in the area of parallelisation, it can still be quite monotonous. Automation of parallelisation through using a parallelising compiler is often an advantageous path to pursue due to the savings in both time and effort. A major component of automatic parallelisation is loop parallelisatio...
متن کاملRHODOS — A Microkernel based Distributed Operating System : An Overview of the 1993
The current direction of computer systems is increasingly moving away from centralised system and moving towards distributed sets of workstations and personal computers connected by a network, known as distributed systems. This has led to the development of specialised operating systems to take full advantage of the resource sharing potential that a distributed system provides. The specialised ...
متن کاملResearch into the Development of the RHODOS Multi - threaded Microkernel *
An important factor contributing to an operating systems' performance is the design and efficiency of the kernel code. This is especially true for microkernel based operating systems where the microkernel and kernel provides support for system servers. RHODOS is a microkernel based distributed operating system designed as a testbed for the study of the numerous research topics available in this...
متن کاملThe RHODOS Migration Facility1
This paper looks at the design, implemntation and performance of RHODOS’ process migration facility which reflects RHODOS’ aspiration to support both load balancing and parallel execution on a distributed system. Following the presentation of the design issues, which reflect the requirements of both load balancing and parallel execution on a distributed system, research into an initial implemen...
