Distributed shared-memory (DSM) multi- processors provide a scalable hardware platform, but lack the necessary redundancy for mainframe-level reliability and availability. Chip-level redundancy in a DSM server faces a key challenge: the increased latency t ...
The Transaction abstraction is arguably one of the most appealing middleware paradigms. It lies typically between the programmer of a concurrent or distributed application on the one hand, and the operating system with the underlying network on the other h ...
In practice, some customers like industrial ones have higher value of involuntary lost load (VOLL) than other customers and thus, are willing to pay more for higher reliability levels than those with less VOLL, and consequently, they are more concerned wit ...
Many atomic broadcast algorithms have been published in the last twenty years. Token based algorithms represent a large class of these algorithms. Interestingly, all the token based atomic broadcast algorithms rely on a group membership service and none of ...
State-of-the-art BFT protocols remain far from the maximum theoretical throughput. Based on exhaustive eval- uation and monitoring of existing BFT protocols, we highlight few impediments to their scaling. These include the use of IP multicast, the presence ...
Simulating turbulence in fluids is a fascinating part of physics which requires a high amount of computational power. Since for transitional Reynolds numbers each simulation run can be performed on a single contemporary CPU, turbulence studies are ideally ...
Cloud computing is a new computing paradigm, combining diverse client devices -- PCs, smartphones, sensors, single-function, and embedded -- with computation and data storage in the cloud. As with every advance in computing, programming is a fundamental ch ...
Over the past twenty years, numerous infrastructure management systems have been developed to address gradual failure modes. Unfortunately the management of sudden failure modes within large infrastructure systems (principally: natural hazard induced failu ...
Atomic Broadcast, an important abstraction in dependable distributed computing, is usually implemented by many instances of the well-known consensus problem. Some asynchronous consensus algorithms achieve the optimal latency of two (message) steps but cann ...
A Disruption-Tolerant Network (DTN) attempts to route packets between nodes that are temporarily connected. Difficulty in such networks is that nodes have no information about the network status and contact opportunities. The situation is different in publ ...
