What: Release 2 of Arjuna Distributed Programming System From: arjuna@newcastle.ac.uk (Arjuna Project) Date: Mon, 17 May 1993 12:37:34 GMT
We are pleased to announce the availability of a new version
of Arjuna: a programming system for reliable distributed computing,
and the Arjuna mailing list.
The software and the manual for the Arjuna system can be
obtained by anonymous ftp: arjuna.ncl.ac.uk (128.240.150.1)
Arjuna System
This beta release of ArjunaPR2.0 fixes all known bugs present
in ArjunaPR1.2B that have been reported to us or that we have found,
and contains only minimal information about how to use the new features
provided. This release should be compilable with the following
compilers:
AT&T Cfront Release 2.1, on SunOS 4.1.x,
(using Sun supplied lex and yacc).
AT&T Cfront Release 3.0.1, on SunOS 4.1.x and Solaris 2.1,
(using Sun supplied lex and yacc).
GCC versions 2.1, 2.2.2, on SunOS 4.1.x,
(using flex(v2.3.x) and bison).
Patched GCC version 2.3.3 on SunOS 4.1.x and Solaris 2.1,
(using flex(v2.3.x) and bison).
Sun C++ 2.1, on SunOs 4.1.x,
(using Sun's lex++ and yacc++).
HP C++ (B2402 A.02.34), HP-UX 8.07,
(using HP supplied lex and yacc or lex++ and yacc++).
The major new features are:
- Faster object store.
- Support for replicated objects.
- Memory resident object store.
- Support for ANSAware (not available via ftp)
Arjuna supports nested atomic actions (atomic transactions) for
controlling operations on objects (instances of C++ classes), which can
potentially be persistent. Arjuna has been implemented in C++ to run on
stock platforms (Unix on SUNs, HPs etc). The software available
includes a C++ stub generator which hides much of the details of
client-server based programming, plus a system programmer's manual
containing details of how to install Arjuna and use it to build
fault-tolerant distributed applications. The software and the manual
can be obtained by anonymous ftp: arjuna.ncl.ac.uk (128.240.150.1)
Several enhancements and ports on various distributed
computing platforms are in progress. We would be pleased to hear from
researchers and teachers interested in using Arjuna. The programmer's
manual contains the e-mail addresses for sending your comments and
problem reports.

Arjuna Mailing List
To enable us to help people using Arjuna, an electronic mail list has been setup. You can join the Arjuna mailing list by sending an e-mail message to "mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk" containing:
join arjuna <Your Name>
For example : join arjuna John Smith
Mail messages can then be sent to "arjuna@mailbase.ac.uk", for distribution.

Subject: Arjuna papers announcement Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1993 16:47:02 GMT
This is to announce the availability of most Arjuna related papers and theses via anonymous ftp from arjuna.ncl.ac.uk. These papers are available in both US Letter and European A4 standards in postscript and should now print on systems. Any problems in printing should be directed to arjuna@newcastle.ac.uk.
Since there are too many papers to describe in one posting there is an index available in /pub/Arjuna/Index which contains the abstracts from all of the papers/theses and their locations within the ftp hierarchy.
