چکیده
A novel system architecture, based on the object model. is the central structuring concept used in the Clouds distributed operating system. This architecture makes Clouds attractive over a wide class of machines and environments. Clouds is a native operating system, designed and implemented at Georgia Tech, and runs on a set of general purpose computers connected via a local area network. The system architecture of Clouds is composed of a systemwide global set of persistent (long-lived) virtual address spaces, called objectsthat contain persistent data and code. The object concept is implemented at the operating system level, thus presenting a single level storage view to the user. Lightweight threads carry computational activity through the code stored in the objects. The persistent objects and threads gives rise to a programming environment composed of shared permanent memory, dispensing with the need for hardware-derived concepts such as file systems and message systems. Though the hardware may be clistributed, and may have disks and networks, the Clouds provides the applications with a logically centralized system, based on a shared, structured, single level store. The current design of Clouds uses a minimalist philosophy with respect to both the kernel and the operating system. That is, the kernel and the operating system support a bare minimum of functionality. Clouds also adheres to the concept of separation of policy and mechanism. Most low-level operating system services are implemented above the kernel and most high level services are implemented at the user level. From the measured performance of using the kernel mechanisms, we are able to demonstrate that efficient implementations are feasible for the object model on commercially available hardware. Clouds provides a rich environment for conducting research in distributed systems. Some of the topics addressed in this paper include distributed programming environments. consistency of persistent data and fault-tolerance.
