The Horus System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although group communication systems have become popular, software support for such computing remains complex and poorly integrated with modern operating systems structures. We describe the Horus system , which brings microkernel design techniques to bear on this problem. Horus has proved lightweight and fast, is well suited for embedding into operating systems like Mach and Chorus, and is exible enough to serve as a base for experiments in high availability security technologies, real-time communication, and control of high speed communication devices.

In the research area of image and video processing, the Horus library [5] has become a valuable system for software driven rapid prototyping, and an essential vehicle for knowledge transfer at the level of universities and expertise centers. Due to its strictly sequential implementation, however, Horus can not always satisfy all demands for high performance. As computational requirements for th...
متن کاملDesign and Performance of Horus: A Lightweight Group Communications System
The Horus project seeks to develop a communication system addressing the requirements of a wide variety of distributed applications. Horus implements the group communications model providing (among others) unreliable or reliable FIFO, causal, or total group multicasts. It is extensively layered and highly reconngurable allowing applications to only pay for services they use. This architecture e...

The emergence of process-group environments for distributed computing represents a promising step toward robustness for mission-critical distributed applications. Process groups have a “natural’’ correspondence with data or services that have been replicated for availability or as part of a coherent cache. They can be used to support highly available security domains, and group mechanisms fit w...
متن کاملSuitability of a Low-Cost, Handheld, Nonmydriatic Retinograph for Diabetic Retinopathy Diagnosis
PURPOSE We assessed the suitability of a low-cost, handheld, nonmydriatic retinograph, namely the Horus DEC 200, for diabetic retinopathy (DR) diagnosis. Two factors were considered: ease of image acquisition and image quality. METHODS One operator acquired fundus photographs from 54 patients using the Horus and AFC-330, a more expensive, nonportable retinograph. Satisfaction surveys were fil...
متن کاملThe HORUS Processor
Designing a complete SoC or reuse SoC components to create a complete system is a common task nowadays. The flexibility offered by the design flow used offers the designer an unprecedented capability to incorporate more and more demanded features like error detection and correction mechanisms to increase the system dependability. This paper describes the design of the HORUS processor, a RISC pr...
