Amoeba distributed operating system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amoeba is an opensource microkernel-based distributed operating system developed by Andrew S. Tanenbaum and others at the Vrije Universiteit. The aim of the Amoeba project is to build a timesharing system that makes an entire network of computers appear to the user as a single machine. Development seems to have stalled: the files in the latest version (5.3) were last modified on 12 February 2001.
Amoeba runs on several platforms, including SPARC, i386, i486, 68030, Sun 3/50 and Sun 3/60.
The system uses FLIP as a network protocol.
The Python programming language was originally developed for this platform.[1]
