This is realized by a Distribution Subsystem that offers communication with an arbitrary number of sites, a modular design that allows customization, communication over multiple platforms, and reliable message delivery and fault tolerance; all this with high throughput through an efficient implementation. </P><P>To allow application programmers to more efficiently utilize distributed programming an overview of the Distribution Subsystem with references to other documentation is presented by this document. </P></BLOCKQUOTE><HR><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node1.html#chapter.introduction">1 Introduction</A><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node1.html#label1">1.1 Layered Design</A></LI><LI><A href="node1.html#label2">1.2 Outline</A></LI></UL></LI></UL><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node2.html#chapter.connections">2 Connection Establishment</A><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node2.html#label4">2.1 Bootstrapping a Connection</A></LI><LI><A href="node2.html#label5">2.2 Dynamic Connection Establishment through Connect-Accept-Pairs</A></LI><LI><A href="node2.html#label6">2.3 Automatic Connection Opening and Closing</A></LI></UL></LI></UL><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node3.html#chapter.entities">3 Entities and Protocols - a Background</A><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node3.html#label7">3.1 Distribution of References</A></LI><LI><A href="node3.html#label8">3.2 Consistency Protocols</A></LI><LI><A href="node3.html#label9">3.3 Distribution of Mozart Entities</A></LI><LI><A href="node3.html#label10">3.4 Distributed Memory Management</A></LI></UL></LI></UL><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node4.html#chapter.efficient">4 Efficient Implementation</A><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node4.html#label12">4.1 Throughput</A></LI><LI><A href="node4.html#label13">4.2 Resource Usage</A></LI><LI><A href="node4.html#label14">4.3 Zero Impact Implementation of the Distribution Subsystem</A></LI></UL></LI></UL><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node5.html#chapter.failures">5 Failure</A><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node5.html#label16">5.1 Handling Faults from Mozart</A></LI><LI><A href="node5.html#label17">5.2 Fault Detection </A><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node5.html#label18">5.2.1 Permanent Fault</A></LI><LI><A href="node5.html#label19">5.2.2 Temporary Faults</A></LI></UL></LI><LI><A href="node5.html#label20">5.3 Fault Tolerance</A></LI><LI><A href="node5.html#label21">5.4 Perm and Temp on the Internet</A></LI></UL></LI></UL><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node6.html#chapter.tools">6 Monitoring Tools</A><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node6.html#label23">6.1 The Distribution Panel</A></LI><LI><A href="node6.html#label24">6.2 The Oz Message Tracer</A></LI><LI><A href="node6.html#label25">6.3 The Mozart Distribution-Subsystem Simulator</A></LI></UL></LI></UL><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node7.html#chapter.interfaces">7 Interfaces</A></LI></UL><HR><ADDRESS><A href="http://www.sics.se/~erik">Erik Klintskog</A> and <A href="http://www.sics.se/~annan">Anna Neiderud</A><BR><SPAN class="version">Version 1.4.0 (20090610)</SPAN></ADDRESS></BODY></HTML>
