Virtual time and global states of distributed systems.

by Friedemann Mattern - Proc. Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Algorithms, , 1989
"... Abstract A distributed system can be characterized by the fact that the global state is distributed and that a common time base does not exist. However, the notion of time is an important concept in every day life of our decentralized \ r eal world" and helps to solve problems like getting a c ..."

TreadMarks: Distributed Shared Memory on Standard Workstations and Operating Systems

by Pete Keleher , Alan L. Cox, Sandhya Dwarkadas, Willy Zwaenepoel - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1994 WINTER USENIX CONFERENCE , 1994
"... TreadMarks is a distributed shared memory (DSM) system for standard Unix systems such as SunOS and Ultrix. This paper presents a performance evaluation of TreadMarks running on Ultrix using DECstation-5000/240's that are connected by a 100-Mbps switch-based ATM LAN and a 10-Mbps Ethernet. Ou ..."

Ethernet: Distributed packet switching for local computer networks

by Robert M. Metcalfe, David R. Boggs - COMMUN. ACM , 1976
"... Ethernet is a branching broadcast communication system for carrying digital data packets among locally distributed computing stations. The packet transport mechanism provided by Ethernet has been used to build systems which can be viewed as either local computer networks or loosely coupled multipr ..."

The process group approach to reliable distributed computing

by Kenneth P. Birman - Communications of the ACM , 1993
"... The difficulty of developing reliable distributed softwme is an impediment to applying distributed computing technology in many settings. Expeti _ with the Isis system suggests that a structured approach based on virtually synchronous _ groups yields systems that are substantially easier to develop, ..."

Exokernel: An Operating System Architecture for Application-Level Resource Management

by Dawson R. Engler, M. Frans Kaashoek, James O’toole , 1995
"... We describe an operating system architecture that securely multiplexes machine resources while permitting an unprecedented degree of application-specific customization of traditional operating system abstractions. By abstracting physical hardware resources, traditional operating systems have signifi ..."

Aegis operations are 10–100 times faster than Ultrix,a mature monolithic UNIX operating system. ExOS implements processes, virtual memory, and inter-process communication abstractions entirely within a library. Measurements show that ExOS’s application-level virtual memory and IPC primitives are 5

Myrinet: A Gigabit-per-Second Local Area Network

by Nanette J. Boden, Danny Cohen, Robert E. Felderman, Alan E. Kulawik, Charles L. Seitz, Jakov N. Seizovic, Wen-king Su - IEEE Micro , 1995
"... Abstract. Myrinet is a new type of local-area network (LAN) based on the technology used for packet communication and switching within "massivelyparallel processors " (MPPs). Think of Myrinet as an MPP message-passing network that can span campus dimensions, rather than as a wide-a ..."

A generalized processor sharing approach to flow control in integrated services networks: The single-node case

by Abhay K. Parekh, Robert G. Gallager - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1993
"... The problem of allocating network resources to the users of an integrated services network is investigated in the context of rate-based flow control. The network is assumed to be a virtual circuit, connection-based packet network. We show that the use of Generalized processor Sharing (GPS), when co ..."

The iSLIP Scheduling Algorithm for Input-Queued Switches

by Nick McKeown , 1999
"... An increasing number of high performance internetworking protocol routers, LAN and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switches use a switched backplane based on a crossbar switch. Most often, these systems use input queues to hold packets waiting to traverse the switching fabric. It is well known th ..."
