Design and Implementation of a Network Layer for Distributed Programming Platforms

This paper discuss the design, implementation and evaluation of a new network layer for Mozart. Mozart is one of the distributed programming platform which is based on the multi paradigm language namely Mozart supplies a factual network transparent implementation by maintaining network awareness, openness, and also fault tolerance. Its network layer provides message passing service to its higher layers which run protocols to uphold the state of distributed entities. In the study of the old network layer problems, a new model was designed and implemented. With this the Solutions achieved includes less fragmented sending of data, more efficient usage of file descriptors and similar resources, leaner memory usage, improved multiplexing over communication channels and a monitor mechanism for error handling. This paper also focuses on some other languages distribution models and the message passing services. It come out that the many different aspects of a multi paradigm language also require more of such service. When we compare the performance of the network layer of Mozart with Java’s RMI it is competitive , or even higher than the performance of Java’s RMI, which uses a more simplistic message passing service.
