Abstract :
XENOOPS is an eXecution ENvironment for Object-Oriented Parallel Software. It is designed for parallel computing systems with distributed memory. It offers basic mechanisms for a variety of object models. Furthermore, it supports grouping of objects, and object splitting and joining. XENOOPS offers dynamic load balancing, using a transparent migration facility. The architecture of XENOOPS gives application writers the possibility to customize the environment to their applications´ needs. A prototype implementation has been built on a transputer system
