  • Abstract
    The paper first identifies design objectives for resource management in distributed computer systems. A resource-management mechanism that meets these objectives, the virtual resource ring (VRR), is then proposed and an implementation of the VRR on an actual distributed multiprocessor computer system is described. Finally, the proposed scheme is evaluated against the previously defined design objectives.
