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

....to the new host. In rare situations, a retransmitted message arrives at the new host prior to the communication link transfer message. The new host communication subsystem blocks messages until the communication link arrives. The test system uses a communication subsystem built on a Choices port [Lia95] of the x Kernel [HP91] x Kernel uses one thread to process each message through the message protocol stack, and maintains a pool of threads. If one message thread blocks, overall message processing is unaffected. Message originators only receive rejection notices with new location information ....

....mechanisms, and data representations [CIJ 91] Objects are organized into frameworks, which are combined to produce the overall system. 8.1.3 Communication Subsystem Choices supports several quite different communication subsystems. The process migration system uses the Choices port [Lia95] of the x Kernel [HP91] system. An environment with migrating processes needs a message protocol with location transparent addressing. The FLIP [KRST93] protocol provides location transparent addressing to Amoeba. Hutchinson and Peterson designed x Kernel to facilitate the addition of new ....

....of the performance change in an important application. Much of the research with Choices involves various networking issues. So we decided to test the performance change on a well known and important communications application. We ported the x Kernel [7] network communication subsystem to Choices[8]. The x Kernel subsystem uses the process per message model, which results in the use of many processes when message traffic is heavy. The x Kernel subsystem allows only one process to be active inside it, which makes process synchronization important. The application program ttcp performs ....

....copy. 4 PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF BSD AND THE x Kernel ON ETHERNET This section describes the performance of the Choices implementation of the sockets interprocess communication facility (Leffler [1989] and Curry [1989] The sockets implementation in Choices with x Kernel is fully described in Liao [1995]. The data show that the x Kernel in the NIF performs comparably to the BSD protocol stack, implying that moving away from the BSD model of network processing to a process based model does not impose a great penalty. User level performance of the Choices sockets implementation was measured on ....
