Implementation of Process Migration in Amoeba
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 presence of network and processor failures.

Process 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 کاملCell migration at a glance.
Cell migration is a fundamental process, from simple, uni-cellular organisms such as amoeba, to complex multi-cellular organisms such as mammals. Whereas its main functions comprise mating and the search for food in simple organisms (Manahan et al., 2004), complexity brings a requirement for specialization, which necessitates cell migration-mediated tissue organization, organogenesis and homeos...
متن کاملA Comparison of Two Distributed Systems: Amoeba and Sprite
This paper compares two distributed operating systems, Amoeba and Sprite. Although the systems share many goals, they diverged on two philosophical grounds: whether to emphasize a distributed computing model or traditional UNIX-style applications, and whether to use a workstation-centered model of computation or a combination of terminals and a shared processor pool. Many of the most prominent ...

متن کاملAutophagy suppresses cell migration by degrading GEF-H1, a RhoA GEF
Cell migration is a process crucial for a variety of biological events, such as morphogenesis and wound healing. Several reports have described the possible regulation of cell migration by autophagy; however, this remains controversial. We here demonstrate that mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking autophagy protein 5 (Atg5), an essential molecule of autophagy, moved faster than wild-type ...
