Abstract: Distributed operating systems have been in the experimental stage for a number of years now, but few have progressed to the point of actually being used in a production environment. It is our belief that the reason lies primarily with the performance of these systems---they tend to be fairly slow compared to traditional single computer systems. The Amoeba system has been designed with high performance in mind. In this paper some performance measurements of Amoeba are presented and... (Update)

.... call [Null RPC] A measuring technique often reported in such studies is to take the minimum of repeated calls [Che84, Kar89, Lie83, Mul84, vRvST88, SB89]. Intuitively this method is appropriate because, although the length of a Null RPC is deterministic, it may trigger...
...by the caller or server thread. It is plausible that better uniprocessor throughput could be achieved by an RPC design, like Amoeba s [9], V s [3] or Sprite s [6] that streamed a large argument or result from a single call in multiple packets, rather than depended on...
