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.

Design 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...

Horus : A Flexible Group Communication System Group Communication

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...

Suitability 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...
