Dome: Distributed object migration environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dome is an object based parallel programming environment for heterogeneous distributed networks of machines. This paper gives a brief overview of Dome. We show that Dome programs are easy to write. A description of the load balancing performed in Dome is presented along with performance measurements on a cluster of DEC Alpha workstations connected by a DEC Gigaswitch. A Dome program is compared with a sequential version and one written in PVM. We also present an overview of architecture independent checkpoint and restart in Dome.

Dome: Parallel Programming in a Distributed Computing Environment
The Distributed object migration environment (Dome) addresses three major issues of distributed parallel programming: ease of use, load balancing, and fault tolerance. Dome provides process control, data distribution, communication, and synchronization for Dome programs running in a heterogeneous distributed computing environment. The parallel programmer writes a C++ program using Dome objects ...
متن کاملDome a Distributed Object Oriented Execution Environment
In this paper we describe the architecture and implementation strategy of a concurrent distributed object oriented program execution environment, where concurrently executing processes access objects in a virtual shared memory. Lin-earizability, basic correctness condition for the semantics of concurrent object invocation, is implemented using a lock-free protocol, and integrated transparently ...
متن کاملApplication Level Fault Tolerance in Heterogenous Networks of Workstations
We have explored methods for checkpointing and restarting processes within the Distributed object migration environment (Dome), a C++ library of data parallel objects that are automatically distributed over heterogeneous networks of workstations (NOWs). System level checkpointing methods, although transparent to the user, were rejected because they lack support for heterogeneity. We have implem...
متن کاملObject-based Design Modeling and Optimization with Genetic Algorithms
DOME (Distributed Object-based Modeling Environment) is a software framework for product design system modeling where designers are distributed geographically and make use of different software tools. Designers develop their own local software components, and distributed object technology is used to integrate their services via the Internet to form an overall system model. Designers can then ex...
متن کاملHigh-Level Fault Tolerance in Distributed Programs
We have been developing high-level checkpoint and restart methods for Dome (Distributed Object Migration Environment), a C++ library of data-parallel objects that are automatically distributed using PVM. There are several levels of programming abstraction at which fault tolerance mechanisms can be designed: high-level, where the checkpoint and restart are built into our C++ objects, but the pro...
