Abstract

Distributed operating systems are a very important part of the software design and implementation work for managing systems with a large number of processors. On the other hand, research in the areas of computer science research on distributed systems has increased significantly in the past few decades. One of the topics discussed in such operating systems is the discussion of resource management through process management. For process management in a distributed operating system, there are mechanisms that allow process transfer, download, remote debugging, state vectoring, and remote emulation of the operating system. Process management facilities can be realized by the distributed operating system kernel, and resource utilization improvement is possible through this. In this research, we intend to examine the evolution of distributed operating systems, how to manage processes, migration, clustering, how to transact messages, and other topics about distributed operating systems. We also consider an example of such operating systems called Amoeba, and we examine process management, inter-process communication, and its efficient mechanisms for improving resource management.
