Abstract: Amoeba is a capability-based distributed operating system designed for high performance interactions between clients and servers using the well-known RPC model. The paper starts out by describing the architecture of the Amoeba system, which is typified by specialized components such as workstations, several services, a processor pool, and gateways that connect other Amoeba systems transparently over wide-area networks. Next the RPC interface is described. The paper presents performance... (Update)
