....in part by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (N.W.O. under grant 125 30 10. 2 main reasons that not even developers use their own systems is that they are simply too slow. For this reason we have made a considerable effort to have our distributed operating system, Amoeba [2 11], go as fast as possible. In this paper, after a brief introduction to Amoeba, we present some performance figures and compare them to the comparable figures for the well known SUN 3 50 UNIX system (SUN OS 3.5) We have compared Amoeba to SUN 3 UNIX because the latter is a popular and widely ....

....and can be connected by a bridge. The Amoeba architecture consists of four principal components, as shown in Fig. 1. First are the workstations, one per user, which run window management software, and on which users can carry out editing and other tasks that require fast interactive response [4, 5]. Second are the pool processors, a group of CPUs that can be dynamically allocated as needed, used, and then returned to the pool. For example, the make command might need to do six compilations, so six processors could be taken out of the pool for the time necessary to do the compilation and ....
