Abstract

Generally speaking, distributed operating system (DOS) designers seem more concerned with resource sharing, global file system transparency, and implementation methodology. We feel that a DOS may provide the platform for linear speedup of applications if performance considerations are given highest priority in the design of the DOS. Work has been underway to test the implementation of such a DOS design in the MINIX environment.
