What is a distributed operating system? This is a private message from a netizen on WeChat. According to the answer of an AI model in China, its explanation is as follows:
【Distributed operating system is an operating system that runs on multiple computers, and it can combine multiple computers into a single logical system. A distributed operating system can share the resources on multiple computers to other computers through the network. Common distributed operating systems include: real-time distributed operating systems, distributed file systems, distributed database systems, distributed computing systems, etc. 】
In fact, taking the LAXCUS distributed operating system as an example, implementing a fully functional distributed operating system is far more complicated than this answer. It needs to implement a distributed operation of software on a distributed hardware environment. Environment, and then on the distributed base of this software, implement a series of things, including the local system kernel, and the distributed kernel across the local system kernel, focusing on network communication, distributed operating framework, distributed SHELL, and then On this basis, realize distributed file system, distributed data system, distributed storage system, distributed computing system, distributed scheduling system, human-computer interaction interface, distributed programming interface, distributed application software, distributed resources Shared model, distributed security management model... any function is a huge system engineering, not as simple as the answer of the AI model.
Because it is not an easy task to introduce a complete distributed operating system, in the next few days, I will try my best to spare some time to write some words. Taking the LAXCUS distributed operating system as an example, I will introduce a complete distributed operation The functionality provided by the system and the enormous effort required to design such a system.
