Distributed Shared Memory Architecture Distributed Shared Memory Architecture Notes
  Despite the advances in processor design, users still demand more and more performance. Eventually, single CPU technologies must give way to multiple processor parallel computers: it is less expensive to run 10 inexpensive processors cooperatively than it is to buy a new computer 10 times as fast.

Distributed System Principles Distributed System Principles Notes
  A distributed system consists of a collection of autonomous computers, connected through a network and distribution middleware, which enables computers to coordinate their activities and to share the resources of the system, so that users perceive the system as a single, integrated computing facility.

Distributed Systems Basics Distributed Systems Basics Notes
  Why build a distributed system? There are lots of advantages including the ability to connect remote users with remote resources in an open and scalable way. When we say open, we mean each component is continually open to interaction with other components. When we say scalable, we mean the system can easily be altered to accommodate changes in the number of users, resources and computing entities.

Distributed Systems Overview Distributed Systems Overview Notes
  We’ve seen in the last few chapters how people can authenticate themselves to systems (and systems can authenticate themselves to each other) using security protocols; how access controls can be used to manage which principals can perform which operations in a system; and some of the mechanics of how crypto can be used to underpin access control in distributed systems.

Corba and Java Corba and Java Notes
  CORBA loves Java! CORBA provides a platform-independent, language-independent way to write applications that can invoke objects that live across the room or across the planet. Java is an object-oriented language that's ideal for writing the clients and servers living on the Object Bus.
