Amoeba made compatible with Unix : the ADE
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper 1 reports a recent development on the Amoeba distributed operating system | the ADE emulation system, which aims at making Amoeba fully compatible with the Unix (POSIX) operating system so that existing Unix applications can directly run on the Amoeba system and immediately beneet from the use of the Amoeba multiple processors.

Beyond UNIX—A True Distributed System for the 1990s
UNIX has been around now for almost 20 years. At the time UNIX began, most departments felt themselves well-endowed indeed if they owned a single PDP-11/45 with 256K memory and a 2.5M RK05 disk. Nowadays a laptop would be embarrassed to have only that. It is our hypothesis that UNIX is no longer the appropriate kind of operating system for the 1990s. In this paper, a new system, Amoeba, will be...
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 کاملProcess Management in a Distributed Operating System
As part of designing and building the Amoeba distributed operating system, we have come up with a simple set of mechanisms for process management that allows downloading, process migration, checkpointing, remote debugging and emulation of alien operating system interfaces. The basic process management facilities are realized by the Amoeba Kernel and can be augmented by user-space services: Debu...
متن کاملBO ZZ AAmoeba — A Distributed Operating System for the 1990 sSape
Amoeba is the distributed system developed at the Free University (VU) and Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI), both in Amsterdam. Throughout the project’s ten-year history, a major concern of the designers has been to combine the research themes of distributed systems, such as high availability, use of parallelism and scalability, with simplicity and high performance. Distributed...
