List of Distributed Operating Systems

Distributed operating systems differ from network operating systems in supporting a transparent view of the entire network, in which users normally do not distinguish local resources from remote resources.

AEGIS

OS for the Apollo DOMAIN Distributed system. Early 1980s.

AMOEBA

A distributed OS based partly on UNIX. Based on passive data objects protected by encrypted capabilities. 1980s [Tanenbaum & Mullender 1981, Mullender & Tanenbaum 1986].

Arachne

A distributed operating system developed at the U. of Wisconsin. Late 1970s [Finkel 1980].

Charlotte

Distributed OS for the Crystal Multicomputer project at the U. of Wisconsin. Explores coarse-grained parallelism without shared memory for computationally intensive tasks. 1980s [Finkel et al 1989].

CHOICES

Distributed, object-oriented OS featuring a high degree of customization. U. of Idaho, 1990s [Campbell et al 1993].

Clouds

A distributed object-based operating system developed at Georgia Institute of Technology. Early 1990s. [DasGupta 1991]

CMDS

The Cambridge Model Distributed System. U. of Cambridge (England). Late 1970s [Wilkes & Needham 1980].

CONDOR

A distributed OS described as a "hunter of idle workstations," which distributes large computationally intensive jobs among available processors in a workstation pool. U. Wisconsin at Madison, 1980s [Litzkow 1988].

Cronus

Object-oriented distributed computing system for heterogenous environments. BBN Systems, 1980s [Schantz et al 1986].

DEMOS/MP

A distributed version of the DEMOS operating system. Message-based, featuring process migration. U.C. Berkeley, early 1980s [Miller et al 1984].

DISTOS

A Distributed OS for a network of 68000s.

DISTRIX

Message-based distributed version of Unix. Early 1980s.

DUNIX

A distributed version of UNIX developed at Bell Labs. late 1980s [xxx 1988].

Eden

A distributed object-oriented OS at the U. of Washington, based on an integrated distributed network of bit-mapped workstations. Capability-based. Early 1980s [Almes et al 1985].

Galaxy

A distributed UNIX-compatible system featuring multi-level IPC and variable-weight processes. Univ. of Tokyo, late 1980s [Sinha et al 1991].

LOCUS

Distributed OS based on UNIX. Mid 1980s. [Popek & Walker, 1985].

MDX

MICROS

Distributed OS for MICRONET, a reconfigurable network computer. Late 1970s [Wittie & van Tilborg 1980].

MOS

An early version of MOSIX. Controls four linked PDP-11s. Mid 1980s [Barak & Litman 1985].

MOSIX

A distributed version of UNIX supporting full transparency and dynamic process migration for load balancing. Developed at the Hebrew U. of Jersusalem. Mid 1980's to 1990's [Barak et al 1993].

Newark

Early version of Eden developed for the VAX environment. The name was chosen because it was "far from Eden."

NSMOS

A version of MOSIX for National Semiconductor VR32 systems. late 1980's [Barel 1987].

Plan9

Distributed UNIX-like system developed at Bell Labs by the originators of UNIX. Features per-process name-spaces, allowing each process a customized view of the resources in the system. 1990s [Pike et al 1995].

REPOS

Operating System for small PDP-11's attached to a host computer. Late 1970s [Maegaard & Andreasan 1979].

RIG

Rochester Intelligent Gateway. Network OS developed at the University of Rochester. Influenced Accent and Mach. Early 1970s [Ball et al 1976].

Roscoe

Distributed OS for multiple identical processors (LSI-11s). University of Wisconsin, Late 1970s [Solomon & Finkel 1979].

Saguaro

Distributed OS at the U. of Arizona, supporting varying degrees of transparency. Mid 1980s [Andrews et al 1987].

SODA

A Simplified OS for Distributed Applications. Mid 1980s [Kepecs & Solomon 1985].

SODS/OS

OS for a Distributed System developed on the IBM Series/1 at the U. of Delaware. Late 1970s [Sincoskie & Farber 1980].

Spring

Distributed multiplatform OS developed by Sun. Not related to the Spring Kernel, a real-time system. 1990s [Mitchell et al 1994].

Uniflex

Multitasking, multiprocessing OS for the 68000 family. Technical Systems Consultants. Early 1980s [Mini-Micro 1986].

V

Experimental Distributed OS linking powerful bit-mapped workstations at Stanford U. Early 1980s [Cheriton 1984, Berglund 1986].
