Millennium was a research project by Microsoft that attempted to develop distributed computing systems by increasing the level of abstraction for application developers. Millennium project is designed to make distributed computing appear to the end user as if the computations were performed locally on a single computer.
The Millennium research project was started by Microsoft in 1996. The goal of the project was to makea software program to run on thousands of computers as easily and simply as it runs on a single system. The Millennium project aims to separate the operating system from the application by raising the level of abstraction. The project's prototypes offer increased performance and customizability, while the infrastructure division of the project focuses on factors such as performance and self-optimization. Millennium seeks to optimize distributed computing systems without affecting the application by employing aggressive optimization methods.
