Load Balancing and Workstation Autonomy on Amoeba - Zhu Steketee Muilwijk (1995)   (8 citations)  (Correct)

....can be put forward. On the other hand, the continuous advance of distributed system research makes available a number of distributed operating systems to put load balancing into practice, such as Amoeba, Chorus, Mach, and Sprite. In the past, Barak put a load balancing facility into MOSIX [1]. Douglis and Ousterhout implemented a process migration facility on their Sprite system [2] A task migration facility, aiming to balance the workload, was also added on top of Mach system by Milojicic et al. [8] However, as far as we know, there is little systematic study of various load ....

Performance Availability for Networks of Workstations - Arpaci-Dusseau (1999)   (4 citations)  (Correct)

....the plan, as well as a good understanding of the applications, perhaps only a performance robust scan read and sort write would be needed, as the mechanisms therein would naturally cope with any performance variations to the system. 13.3. 5 Migration Though ignored in this work, process migration [13, 47, 83, 97, 98, 120] could be utilized within our environment to provide some amount of performance availability. In the current system, process placement is presumed to be static; robustness is added to applications by facilitating dynamic movement of data to and from faster entities. However, a system that also ....

An Experimental Study of Load Balancing on Amoeba - Weiping Zhu Steketee (1995)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....assumptions and models used by these researches lead to quite different results which divides the researchers into different camps. For instance, some are in favor of a non preemptive strategy [6] others prefer the preemptive approach [8] 9] On the other hand, only a few projects, e.g. MOSIX [1], Utopia [15] Mach [10] were involved in designing and implementing a load balancing facility into distributed systems. Due to lack of practical experience, a number of questions related to the design of a load balancing facility have not been answered, for instance, how to measure the load of a ....

The Freeze Free Algorithm For Process Migration - Roush (1995)   (3 citations)  (Correct)

....maintains Links during and after process migration by forwarding messages to the new machine. Routing messages through the old host is costly. The forwarding machine informs any message sender machine of the correct new destination machine address, which then updates the link. 3.3. 3 MOS MOS [BSW89] is a distributed operating system that is compatible with Unix Version 7 at the application level. MOS attempts to provide the illusion that the network of computers is a single system. MOS supports dynamic process migration. MOS reports being able to transfer the memory at 5.4ms per 1kB, or ....

....tolerance. 3.3.9 MOSIX MOSIX [BW89] is a distributed operating system that is compatible with AT T Unix Version 5.2. MOSIX gives the application the illusion that the application is running on a single processor system. MOSIX is a descendant of MOS. MOSIX supports dynamic process migration [BSW89] MOSIX runs on National Semiconductor NS32532 processors connected by a ProNet 80, which is an 80M bit per second token ring LAN. The memory transfer rate is 1.9ms per 1kB. They do not report overall process migration times. MOSIX achieves speedups of 3.86 with 4 processors and automatic process ....
