The Siphon: Managing Distant Replicated Repositories
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Siphon is intended to facilitate joint software development between groups working at distant sites connected by low bandwidth communication lines. It gives users the image of a single repository of individually manageable units, typically software or documentation components. Users can lock and modify each unit, the result being propagated automatically to all sites. The repository is replicated at each site, and possibly on multiple file servers for greater availability and reliability. A Siphon has been in operational use since January 1989 between three Digital research laboratories. We presently share a 2.5 GB repository of source code, libraries, documents, and executable files.

Replicated File Management in Large-Scale Distributed Systems
Large-scale systems spanning geographically distant sites are potentially appropriate environments for distributed applications supporting collaboration. In this paper, we examine the possibility of using such systems as repositories for replicated files to facilitate low-latency data sharing. Asynchrony in communication and computation, complex combinations of site and communication failures, ...
متن کاملRegeneration of oral siphon pigment organs in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis.
Ascidians have powerful capacities for regeneration but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here we examine oral siphon regeneration in the solitary ascidian Ciona intestinalis. Following amputation, the oral siphon rapidly reforms oral pigment organs (OPO) at its distal margin prior to slower regeneration of proximal siphon parts. The early stages of oral siphon reformation includ...
متن کاملA Study of the conditions of non- sedimentation in Karkhe Inverted Siphon by using a Laboratory Model
Deposition of sediment inside the conduit structures reduces the flow cross section area and increases the flow roughness which causes reduction of flow discharge passing through the conduit. Among the methods which can prevent sediment deposition is non sedimentation condition in the structure, Since the critical section of the inverted siphon in sedimentation is the outlet. In the begining of...
متن کاملA Framework for Business Process Model Repositories
Large organizations often run hundreds or even thousands of business processes. Managing such large collections of business processes is a challenging task. Intelligent software can assist in that task by providing common repository functions such as storage, search and version management. They can also provide advanced functions that are specific for managing collections of process models, suc...
متن کاملSimulation and prediction of scour whole dimensions downstream of siphon overflow using support vector machine and Gene expression programming algorithms
Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study is to simulate and predict the dimensions of the scour cavity downstream of the siphon overflow using the SVM model and compare it with other numerical methods. The use of the SVM algorithm as a meta-heuristic system in simulating complex processes in which the dependent variable is a function of several independent variables has been widely ...
