Support for Distributed Transactions in the TABS (Transaction Based Systems) Prototype.

Abstract

The TABS (Transaction Based Systems) Prototype is an experimental facility at Carnegie-Mellon University that provides operating system-level support for distributed transactions that operate on shared abstract types. It is hoped that the facility will simplify the construction of highly available and reliable distributed applications. The paper describes the TABS system model, the TABS prototype's structure, and certain aspects of its operation. The paper concludes with a discussion of the status of the project and a preliminary evaluation.
