DOME

Abstract

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.
