  2. Distributed operating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_operating_system

    A number of distributed operating systems were introduced during this period; however, very few of these implementations achieved even modest commercial success. Fundamental and pioneering implementations of primitive distributed operating system component concepts date to the early 1950s.

  3. Distributed computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing

    A computer program that runs within a distributed system is called a distributed program, [7] and distributed programming is the process of writing such programs. [8] There are many different types of implementations for the message passing mechanism, including pure HTTP, RPC-like connectors and message queues .

    The contents match the full body of topics and detail information expected of a person identifying themselves as a Computer Engineering expert as laid out by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying. [1] It is a comprehensive list and superset of the computer engineering topics generally dealt with at any one time.

  5. Common Object Request Broker Architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Object_Request...

    The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is a standard defined by the Object Management Group (OMG) designed to facilitate the communication of systems that are deployed on diverse platforms. CORBA enables collaboration between systems on different operating systems, programming languages, and computing hardware. CORBA uses an ...

  6. Application checkpointing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_checkpointing

    The most basic way to implement checkpointing is to stop the application, copy all the required data from the memory to reliable storage (e.g., parallel file system), then continue with execution. [1] In the case of failure, when the application restarts, it does not need to start from scratch.

  7. Distributed control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_control_system

    These could be distributed around plant, and communicate with the graphic display in the control room or rooms. The distributed control system was born. The introduction of DCSs allowed easy interconnection and re-configuration of plant controls such as cascaded loops and interlocks, and easy interfacing with other production computer systems.

    Architectural, organisational, and engineering aspects of distributed computing. Computer architectures, software architectures, software frameworks, and network architectures related to distributed computing and distributed systems. Different "styles" of distributed computing.

  9. Paxos (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paxos_(computer_science)

    In Basic Paxos, the message delay from client request to learning is 3 message delays. Fast Paxos allows 2 message delays, but requires that (1) the system be composed of 3f+ 1 acceptors to tolerate up to f faults (instead of the classic 2f+1), and (2) the Client to send its request to multiple destinations.
