Amodernmanycore architecture can be viewed as a distributed system with explicit message passing to communicate between cores. Ensuring the consistency of shared state replicated over several cores is the key to the well functioning of such a system. Yet, ...

Multi-stream partitioning and parity rate allocation of scalable video content for efficient IPTV delivery

Pascal Frossard

We address the joint problem of clustering heterogenous clients and allocating scalable video source rate and FEC redundancy in IPTV systems. We propose a streaming solution that delivers varying portions of the scalably encoded content to different client ...

How Efficient Can Gossip Be? (On the Cost of Resilient Information Exchange)

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh, Morteza Zadimoghaddam

Gossip, also known as epidemic dissemination, is becoming an increasingly popular technique in distributed systems. Yet, it has remained a partially open question: how robust are such protocols? We consider a natural extension of the random phone-call mode ...

Efficient System-Enforced Deterministic Parallelism

Bryan Alexander Ford

Deterministic execution offers many benefits for debugging, fault tolerance, and security. Current methods of executing parallel programs deterministically, however, often incur high costs, allow misbehaved software to defeat repeatability, and transform t ...

Diffusion LMS with communication constraints

Ali H. Sayed

Diffusion LMS is a distributed algorithm that allows a network of nodes to solve estimation problems in a fully distributed manner by relying solely on local interactions. The algorithm consists of two steps: a consultation step whereby each node combines ...

Live Streaming with Gossip

Maxime Monod

Peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures have emerged as a popular paradigm to support the dynamic and scalable nature of distributed systems. This is particularly relevant today, given the tremendous increase in the intensity of information exchanged over the Int ...

Template-free self-assembly of hierarchical ZnO structures from nanoscale building blocks

Klaus Kern, Kannan Balasubramanian, Vivek Pachauri

We study chemical bath deposition method for synthesizing large variety constructions of ZnO nanostructures. By varying reaction kinetics we control the shape, size and morphology to yield flower-like, rolling-pin-like, viscous-fingers-like and antenna-lik ...

CrystalBall: Predicting and Preventing Inconsistencies in Deployed Distributed Systems

Viktor Kuncak, Dejan Kostic, Maysam Yabandeh, Nikola Knezevic

We propose a new approach for developing and deploying distributed systems, in which nodes predict distributed consequences of their actions, and use this information to detect and avoid errors. Each node continuously runs a state exploration algorithm on ...

Simplifying Distributed System Development

Viktor Kuncak, Dejan Kostic, Maysam Yabandeh, Nedeljko Vasic

Distributed systems are difficult to design and develop. The difficulties arise both in basic safety correctness properties, and in achieving high performance. As a result of this complexity, the implementation of a distributed system often contains the ba ...
