Abstract

Processing on the Amoeba distributed operating system is not fault tolerant. The only concern of its processing service is to perform load balancing on the existing processors, trying to find the processor that best suits a particular process in terms of memory availability and CPU speed. We introduce a fault tolerant processing service for the Amoeba system. This service is used in the implementation of the Seljuk-Amoeba operating environment, which offers processing service with different controlled failure semantics on a per process basis
