M3P: Um Multiprocessador Fracamente Acoplado com Balanceamento de Carga e Migração de Processos
Abstract
This article describes the implementation of the MinixM operating system, used on the M3P, especialy the load distribution and balancing between processors. In the M3P, a loosely-coupled multiprocessor system, the load balancing is obtained with the use of process migration and heuristics to assign processes to processors. These solutions are efficiently implemented using a resource present in the hardware, the transfer of memory contents beetween processors through DMA.
