Excerpt from The Design and Analysis of a Distributed Processing System
The design of a distributed operating system based on a small set of synchronous message passing primitives, send-receive-reply, is explored. A description of how the unix? Operating system can be extended by these primitives to support a local area network environment consisting of diskless workstations connected by Ethernet to remote file servers is given. A performance analysis of the consequences of having all files transferred remotely over the network is presented. It is concluded that the proposed distributed unix is competitive with traditional time-sharing operating systems.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a new distributed processing system that utilizes a set of message passing primitives: send, receive, and reply. The author draws from the Thoth and V operating systems to illustrate these primitives' practical application. Thoth's message-passing methodology is seen as a way to implement solutions to client-server models. The author believes that this approach can be extended to time-sharing and distributed operating systems. The book examines the implications of implementing the send, receive, and reply primitives in a distributed UNIX operating system. A performance analysis of the consequences of transferring files over a network in this system is presented and found to be competitive with traditional time-sharing operating systems. The author concludes that the message passing approach of the V kernel can be exploited by UNIX and provides an efficient procedural interface for user applications. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the design and analysis of distributed processing systems.
