Abstract

The Rainbow operating system provides 64-Bit transactional memory operation for PC-clusters. Basic consistency of the distributed objects is guaranteed by an optimistic transactions scheme and weakened consistency models are available for application data structures. The Java-like language environment allows for binary isolation, compiler-based OS security and for clusterwide garbage collection. An optional pageserver will offer orthogonal persistence as well as subsecond restart and recovery.
