  1. Chapter 2.2transparency By, Naga Manojna Chintapalli. nchintapalli1@student.gsu.edu

  2. overview • Evolution of Modern Operating systems • Distributed Operating System • Goals of DOS • Definition of Transparency • Types of transparency and their categorizations • Distributed System issues & Transparencies • DOS projects • References

  3. Evolution of Modern Operating systems • 1st Generation: Centralized Operating System • 2nd Generation: Network Operating System • 3rd Generation: Distributed Operating System • 4th Generation: Cooperative autonomous System

  4. Distributed Operating System • A collection of independent computers that appear to the system users as a single computer presenting a transparent view of a multiple computer system with distributed resources andcontrol.

  5. Goals of DOS • Efficiency • Flexibility • Consistency • Robustness

  6. transparency • “Is defined as the concealment from the user and the application programmer of the separation of components in a DS, so that the system is perceived as a whole rather than as a collection of independent components”

  7. Transparency (contd.,) • Goal motivated by the desire to hide all irrelevant system-dependent details from the user, whenever possible. • It is more important in distributed systems due to higher implementation complexities. • Shielding the system-dependent information from the users is a trade-off between simplicity and effectiveness.

  8. Types of transparency • We have 10 types of transparencies. Let us see them in detail.

  9. Access transparency • Access transparency - accessing both local and remote system objects in a uniform way.

  10. Location transparency • Location transparency - no awareness of object locations. Sometimes called name transparency. • Users of a Distributed System are not aware where a resource is physically located. • The resources are referred by logical names. • Example: area codes

  11. Migration transparency • Migration transparency - ability to move an object to a different location without changing its name; also called location independence.

  12. Concurrency transparency • Concurrency transparency - allow the sharing of objects without interference. • Multiple users sharing a resource without any interference. • It is similar to the time sharing concept.

  13. Replication transparency • Replication transparency - consistency of multiple instances (or partitioning) of files and data

  14. Parallelism transparency • Parallelism transparency - parallel activities without users knowing how, when and where they are taking place.

  15. Failure transparency • Failure transparency - fault tolerance. • Despite any failures in the system the task needs to be completed successfullyi.e., it ensures graceful performance and minimum damages to the user.

  16. Performance transparency • Performance transparency - attempts to achieve a consistent and predictable performance level even with changes of the system structure or load distribution.

  17. Size transparency • Size transparency - modularity and scalability. • The system can expand in size without the knowledge of the user. It pertains to the incremental growth of the hardware.

  18. Revision Transparency • Revision transparency - vertical growth of the system • This transparency refers to the software revisions which are not visible to the users.

  19. Categorization of transparencies • Transparencies can be categorized based on the goals of the distributed operating systems.

  25. projects Example of projects based on distributed operating systems is • E1 • E1 is a distributed operating system project, based on the following concepts: • object replication • component model support • Persistence • It Provides efficient access to the resources of computer network, implements a convenient programming model, isolating software developers from the intrinsic complexity of asynchronous distributed environment. • http://www.cs.utah.edu/~aburtsev/doc/e1_nicta_talk.pdf refer the link to know more about this project.
