Announcing the release of
Dome
version 1.0
(Distributed object migration environment)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
--------
Dome, the Distributed object migration environment, provides a C++
library of distributed objects for parallel programming. These
objects perform dynamic load balancing and support fault tolerance.
Programmers using Dome can, with modest effort, write parallel
programs
that are automatically distributed over a heterogeneous network,
dynamically load balanced as the program runs, and able to survive
compute node and network failures. Thus, Dome provides a means for
writing simple simple and efficient distributed programs.
The focus of the Dome system is to support parallel programming over
networks of workstations. Dome's load balancing and fault tolerance
play an integral role in producing efficient and survivable parallel
programs in such an environment. Dome uses a single program multiple
data (SPMD) model to perform the parallelization of programs which
use the Dome library, and Dome uses PVM to provide its underlying
process control and message passing.
The Dome system is available in a package via anonymous ftp. The
package includes the Dome source code, makefiles, related build
scripts, documentation, and example programs. To obtain the Dome
package login via anonymous ftp to ftp.cs.cmu.edu. The directory
project/dome will contain the file dome1.0.tar.Z and a README file.
The dome1.0.tar.Z file contains the Dome system in compressed, tar
format.
