Abstract: This paper compares two distributed operating systems, Amoeba and Sprite. Although the systems share many goals, they diverged on two philosophical grounds: whether to emphasize a distributed computing model or traditional UNIX-style y applications, and whether to use a workstation-centered model of computation or a combination of terminals and a shared processor pool. Many of the most prominent features of the systems (both positive and negative) follow from the philosophical differences.... (Update)

...[14, 21] but the focus has been on debugging and understanding existing software. A number of systems (such as Amoeba and Sprite [10]) automatically redistribute computation across a distributed system to improve performance, though not security. Various transparently...
...new methods of creating benchmarks. Researchers have also used benchmarks to compare the performance of different types of systems [69, 115, 31]. Benchmarks can also be used to show the change in performance on a system that result from changes in policy or procedure, that is,...
