| Summary |
For large enterprises and the IT professionals who serve them, the future is distributed, component-based systems, integrated across the Internet. To build and manage these systems, developers and managers must master an unprecedented range of new skills and technologies. Progressing to Distributed Multiprocessing brings them all together in a practical guide to planning and implementing distributed, Internet-based applications. Coverage includes the fundamental rationale, challenges, and foundations of distributed computing; objects and the Internet: IIOP, ORBs, Web brokers, TP monitors, and Web integration; choosing the most appropriate roles for thin and fat clients; multiprocessor options, including MPP, SMP, clustered systems, DMP, and NUMA; and advanced distributed operating systems and the services they provide |
