History of the ChorusOS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Originally developed as French research
project
• Bought by Sun Microsystems in 1997
• V0 – collection of actors
• V1 – French SM90 Multiprocessor
[Ethernet]
• V2 – Move to Micro-kernel
• V3 – Sun bought; RPC implemented

Actor: is an execution environment.It can have one or more thread
Ports: is an unidirectional communication channel with an associated message queue.
Ports can be migrated between actors.
Port groups: Ports can be made members of port groups. A port group is a destination for
messages, and there are several addressing modes for sending messages to a port group.
Messages: A Chorus message consists of a variable length body (limited to 64 kilobytes),
and optionally a fixed-size (64-byte) header.
Regions, segments and local caches: An actor’s address space is divided into regions. A
region can be mapped onto a portion of a Segment. For each mapped segment the kernel
keeps a local cache.

How Chorus is Used in a
Distributed System
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Three layer communication
 User interface to system
 System interface to kernel
 Kernel interface to micro-kernel
• Uses message passing between process and
threads

Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Micro-kernel based system used in
distributed operating systems
• Provides binary compatibility with UNIX
• Consist of three layers
 Kernel – contains micro-kernel
 Subsystems – support for user programs
 User processes at top layer
