Distributed operating systems have many aspects in common with centralized ones, but they
also differ in certain ways. This paper is intended as an introduction to distributed operating …

Much has been learned in the last decade about concurrent programming.. This patmr
identifies the major concepts of concurrent programming and describes some of the more …

One measure of the usefulness of a general-purpose distributed computing system is the
system's ability to provide a level of performance commensurate to the degree of multiplicity …

The coverage in this comprehensive survey work on parallel computing is divided into
sections on hardware and software and is detailed on both these aspects, but the book is a …

Remote procedure call is the synchronous language-level transfer of control between
programs in disjoint address spaces whose primary communication medium is a narrow …

An important part of a distributed system design is the choice of a load sharing or global
scheduling strategy. A comprehensive literature survey on this topic is presented. We …

Process migration has been added to the DEMOS/MP operating system. A process can be
moved during its execution, and continue on another processor, with continuous access to …

This is achieved in a computer system employing a multiple facility operating system
architecture. The computer system includes a plurality of processor units for implementing a …

In this work we review the present status of numerical methods for partial differential
equations on vector and parallel computers. A discussion of the relevant aspects of these …

A model is presented for parallel processing in loosely coupled multiprocessing
environments, such as networks of computer workstations, that are amenable to large …
