Definition of a Distributed System (1)
A distributed system is:
A collection of independent computers that appears to its
users as a single coherent system.
3
Definition of a Distributed System (2)
A distributed system organized as middleware.Note that the middleware layer extends over multiple machines.

Examples of DS1. The Internet
1. Vast interconnected collection of computer network of many different types
2. Intranets1. Portion of Internet that is separately administrated and has a boundary that can be configured to enforce local security policy.
3. Mobile and ubiquitous computing1. Small and portable computing device.2. Laptops computers.3. PDA, mobiles phone, pagers, video cameras and digital cameras.4. Wearable device, such as smart watches5. Devices embedded in appliances- hi-fi+washing machine using one “universal remote control”.

Transparency in a Distributed System
Different forms of transparency in a distributed system.
Transparency Description
Access Hide differences in data representation and how a resource is accessed
Location Hide where a resource is located
Migration Hide that a resource may move to another location
Relocation Hide that a resource may be moved to another location while in use
Replication Hide that a resource is replicated
Concurrency Hide that a resource may be shared by several competitive users
Failure Hide the failure and recovery of a resource
Persistence Hide whether a (software) resource is in memory or on disk
6
Scalability
A system is described scalable if remain effective when there is a significant increase in the number of resources and usersDate Computers Web servers

Scalability Problems
Examples of scalability limitations.
Concept Example
Centralized services A single server for all users
Centralized data A single on-line telephone book
Centralized algorithms Doing routing based on complete information

Scaling Techniques (1)
1.4
The difference between letting:
a) a server or
b) a client check forms as they are being filled

Scaling Techniques (2)
1.5
An example of dividing the DNS name space into zones.

Multiprocessors (1)
A bus-based multiprocessor.
1.7
a) Coherent
b) Incoherent – while using the cache

Software Concepts
1. DS as resource manager2. Provide Virtual Machine to hide the
heterogeneous nature of underlying hardware
16
Software Concepts
An overview of • DOS (Distributed Operating Systems)• NOS (Network Operating Systems)• Middleware
System Description Main Goal
DOSTightly-coupled operating system for multi-processors and homogeneous multicomputers
Hide and manage hardware resources
NOSLoosely-coupled operating system for heterogeneous multicomputers (LAN and WAN)
Offer local services to remote clients
Middleware Additional layer atop of NOS implementing general-purpose services
Provide distribution transparency
17
DOS (Distributed Operating Systems)• Multiprocessor Operating System
– Manage the resource of multiprocessor
• Multicomputer Operating System– Develop for homogenous multicomputer
18
Uniprocessor Operating Systems• The goal- user and application sharing resources • User mode & kernel mode- Controlled by OS.• Separating applications from operating system code through a
microkernel-code for device register, switching between process etc.
19
Multicomputer Operating Systems (1)General structure of a multicomputer operating system
1.14
20
Multicomputer Operating Systems (2)• Alternatives for blocking and buffering in message passing.• Leading to 4 possible synchronization point.
1.15
21
Multicomputer Operating Systems (3)
Relation between blocking, buffering, and reliable communications.
Synchronization point Send buffer Reliable comm. guaranteed?
Block sender until buffer not full (s1) Yes Not necessaryBlock sender until message sent (s2) No Not necessaryBlock sender until message received (s3) No Necessary
Block sender until message delivered (s4) No Necessary
22
Distributed Shared Memory Systems (1)
a) Pages of address space distributed among four machines
b) Situation after CPU 1 references page 10
c) Situation if page 10 is read only and replication is used
23
Distributed Shared Memory Systems (2)False sharing of a page between two independent processes.
1.18
24
Network Operating System(1)• Heterogeneous.
– Variety and difference in terms of:• Networks• Computer hardware• Operating system• Programming language• Implementation by different developers
• Constructed from a collection of uniprocessor system using own OS.
• Connected to each other using computer network.
25
Network Operating System (2)General structure of a network operating system.
1-19
26
Network Operating System (3)Two clients and a server in a network operating system.
1-20
Generally maintain hierarchical file system.Client can import/mount these file system.
27
Network Operating System (3)Different clients may mount the servers in different places.
1.21
#showmount –e <server_name>
#mount /mygames <server_name>/private/games
28
Positioning Middleware– Programs written by different developers cannot communicate unless
use common standard– Middleware applied to a software masking the heterogeneity of
hardware & software
1-22
General structure of a distributed system as middleware.
29
Middleware Services1. Communication facilities – message passing
eg: RPC & Distributed Object Invocation.2. Naming- URL still works even the server has
been moved.3. Persistence – special facilities for storage.4. Distributed Transactions- multiple read/write
operations atomicaly.5. Security – cannot rely on OS only.
30
Middleware and Openness
In an open middleware-based distributed system, the protocols used by each middleware layer should be the same, as well as the interfaces they offer to applications.

32
Clients and Servers– General interaction between a client and a server.– Request and reply behavior.– Connectionless vs connection oriented protocol.

An Example Client and Server (1)The header.h file used by the client and server.

Processing Level The general organization of an Internet
search engine into three different layers
1-28
37
Multitiered Architectures (1)• 2 types of machines –two-tiered architecture
» client just a dumb terminal(user interface)» Server is handle everything
• Alternative client-server organizations (a) – (e).

38
Multitiered Architectures (2)An example of a server acting as a client.
eg: transaction processing – next chap

39
Modern Architectures• Multitier Client Server Architecture-
– Divide application into 3 components – vertical distribution
• Modern Architecture is more consent about the distribution of client and the servers.
– An example of horizontal distribution of a Web service.
