Quotations
13 ;;Quote: in Ocra, shared objects are replicated on all machines; writes by reliable broadcast, reads locally
13 ;;Quote: reliable broadcast with an elected sequencer; confirmed when sender sees the returned sequence number
13 ;;Quote: sequencer for reliable broadcast uses a history buffer for retransmitting messages; truncated when all machines caught up
15 ;;Quote: Ocra on Ethernet can support 800 reliable broadcasts per second and thousands of shared, read or write operations per second
16 ;;Quote: no global objects in Ocra, instead objects are passed as parameters by procedure calls or process forks
16+;;Quote: parallelism in Ocra based on processes that execute programs and shared objects passed as parameters
17 ;;Quote: Ocra objects do not contain processes; they contain data structures and operation definitions; no inheritance
19 ;;Quote: Ocra-based systems are easy to program with good performance for problems with moderate grain size where reads predominate over writes
