Sprite is an experimental Unix-like distributed operating system developed at the University of California, Berkeley by John Ousterhout's research group between 1984 and 1992. Its notable features include support for single system image on computer clusters[1] and the introduction of the log-structured file system. The Tcl scripting language also originated in this project.
