Rainbow-OS features:
- Single image programming paradigm
The use of a shared memory for all Rainbow nodes realises a common view of the data inside.
Every object is seen at the same virtual address space from every participating node.
Therefore a programmer has not to distinguish when creating an application on which
node his code will be running or how many nodes will be using it. So no additional effort
has to be made for using an distributed application in the Rainbow cluster.
At the same time the consistency of all objects is guaranteed by the
transactional consistency used.
