Distibuted Systems : Indispensable Element in the Future Of Computing

A distributed system is a collection of independent computers that appear to its user as a single coherent system

Objective:
-----------
Basic & Simple intoduction. Focus would be basically on Multicomputer distributed operating system services & Middleware Service, A few Novel thaughts.
!!!!!!----------Will Keep Adding to the this list------------!!!!

Few Questions
----------------
Why cant distributed services be a part of operating system? If build or available in popular operating sytems, Should/Would It support existing applications at the OS level. One of the immediate applications that I can think about is image rendering(Video Editing) , Using idle machines to share the work load. The questions above basically are about Code & Data Migration. Why not build systems that allow delegating tasks to other participating sytems? Like deligate rendering task completely to a participating machine (load balancing kept in mind) full fulling the defanition of "Apperaing to the user as a single coherent system"


Few Novel Thaughts
------------------

Distributed Downloader : Idea is to download the file from a server that support multipart download on multiple machines using multiple threads.
I have been working on this and I found the application to download files much faster then most of the commeercially available downloader applications. Build as a middleware supports both HTTP and FTP protocol.

Distributed Proxy : Distributed cache, Might be a good addition to Internet Explorere, Fire Fox or any browser.
