Performance Evaluation of Barrier Techniques for Distributed Tracing Garbage Collector

David Atienza Alonso

Currently, software engineering is becoming even more complex due to distributed computing. In this new context, portability is one of the key issues and hence a cluster-aware Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that can transparently execute Java applications in a ...

Consistent Main-Memory Database Federations under Deferred Disk Writes

Rodrigo Malta Schmidt, Fernando Pedone

Current cluster architectures provide the ideal environment to run federations of main-memory database systems (FMMDBs). In FMMDBs, data resides in the main memory of the federation servers. FMMDBs significantly improve performance by avoiding I/O during t ...

How fast can a distributed atomic read be?

Rachid Guerraoui, Ron Levy, Partha Dutta, Arindam Chakraborty

This paper addresses the problem of designing an efficient implementation of a basic atomic read-write data structure over an asynchronous message-passing system. In particular, we consider time-efficient implementations of this abstraction in the case of ...

A Model for Parallel Programming over CORBA

Existing models for parallel programming over Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) do not address issues specific to parallel programming over a Network of Workstations (NOWs). This paper presents P-CORBA, a model for parallel programming over ...

Robust Emulations of Shared Memory in a Crash-Recovery Model

Rachid Guerraoui, Ron Levy

A shared memory abstraction can be robustly emulated over an asynchronous message passing system where any process can fail by crashing and possibly recover (crash-recovery model), by having (a) the processes exchange messages to synchronize their read and ...

NASCENT: Network Layer Service for Vicinity Ad-hoc Groups

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jun Luo

Many envisioned applications of ad hoc networks involve only small-scale networks that we term Vicinity Ad-hoc Groups (VAGs). Distributed coordination services, instead of pairwise communications, are the primary requirements of VAGs. Existing designs for ...

SAMOA: A Framework for a Synchronisation-Augmented Microprotocol Approach

André Schiper, Olivier Rütti

We address programming abstractions for building protocols from smaller, reusable microprotocols. The existing protocol frameworks, such as Appia and Cactus, either restrict the amount of concurrency between microprotocols, or depend on the programmer, who ...

Towards JMS Compliant Group Communication - a Semantic Mapping

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Stefan Pleisch, Arnas Kupsys

Group communication provides communication primitives with various semantics and their use greatly simplifies the development of highly available services. However, despite tremendous advances in research and numerous prototypes, group communication stays ...

Data-Aware Multicast

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster

This paper presents a multicast algorithm for peer-to-peer dissemination of events in a distributed topic-based publish-subscribe system, where processes publish events of certain topics, organized in a hierarchy, and expect events of topics they subscribe ...

Shared Memory vs Message Passing

Rachid Guerraoui

his paper determines the computational strenght of the shared memory abstraction (a register) emulated over a message passing system, and compares it with fundamental message passing abstractions like consensus and various forms of reliable broadcast. We i ...
