Distributed systems that span large geographic distances or manage large numbers of objects are already common place. In such systems, programming applications with even modest reliability requirements that run correctly and efficiently is a difficult task due to the asynchrony and the possibility of complex failure scenarios. In this paper, we describe the architecture of the Relacs communication system that constitutes the "microkernel" of a layered approach to system support for reliable computing in large-scale distributed systems. Relacs is highly portable and implements a very small number of abstractions and primitives that are sufficient for building a variety of interesting higher-level paradigms.
