Transactional Memory

The advent of multicore processors has renewed interest in the idea of incorporating transactions into the programming model used to write parallel programs. This approach, known as transactional memory, offers an alternative, and hopefully better, way to ...

Looking Ahead in Open Multithreaded Transactions

Maxime Monod

Open multithreaded transactions constitute building blocks that allow a developer to design and structure the execution of complex distributed systems featuring cooperative and competitive concurrency in a reliable way. In this paper we describe an optimiz ...

Locating Mobile Nodes with EASE: Learning Efficient Routes from Encounter Histories Alone

Martin Vetterli, Matthias Grossglauser

Routing in large-scale mobile ad hoc networks is challenging because all the nodes are potentially moving. Geographic routing can partially alleviate this problem, as nodes can make local routing decisions based solely on the destinations' geographic coord ...

Lucky Read/Write Access to Robust Atomic Storage

Rachid Guerraoui, Marko Vukolic, Ron Levy

This paper establishes tight bounds on the \emph{best-case} time-complexity of distributed atomic read/write storage implementations that tolerate \emph{worst-case} conditions. We study asynchronous robust implementations where a writer and a set of reader ...

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 ...

Database Replication Using Generalized Snapshot Isolation

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sameh Mohamed Elnikety, Fernando Pedone

Generalized snapshot isolation extends snapshot isolation as used in Oracle and other databases in a manner suitable for replicated databases. While (conventional) snapshot isolation requires that transactions observe the “latest” snapshot of the database, ...

This paper establishes tight bounds on the best-case time-complexity of distributed atomic read/write storage implementations that tolerate worst-case conditions. We study asynchronous robust implementations where a writer and a set of reader processes (cl ...

Pronto: High Availability for Standard Off-the-shelf Databases

Fernando Pedone

Enterprise applications typically store their state in databases. If a database fails, the application is unavailable while the database recovers. Database recovery is time consuming because it involves replaying the persistent transaction log. To isolate ...

Looking Ahead in Open Multithreaded Transactions

Maxime Monod

Complex distributed object-oriented systems often need complex concurrency features, which may go beyond the traditional concurrency control associated with separate method calls. A transaction groups together a sequence of operations, and can therefore en ...
