Cyclone: Unified Stream and Batch Processing

Ana Claudia Sima, Thomas Locher, Matus Harvan

Due to the rising demand for large-scale data processing, there is a growing interest in both batch processing, where large volumes of data are processed offline, and stream processing, where large quantities of streaming data are processed online. The dic ...

OpenIoT: Open Source Internet-of-Things in the Cloud

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth, Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez, Ivana Podnar, Mehdi Riahi

Despite the proliferation of Internet-of-Things (IoT) platforms for building and deploying IoT applications in the cloud, there is still no easy way to integrate heterogeneous geographically and administratively dispersed sensors and IoT services in a sema ...

Heading Off Correlated Failures through Independence-as-a-Service

Bryan Alexander Ford, Ennan Zhai

Today's systems pervasively rely on redundancy to ensure reliability. In complex multi-layered hardware/software stacks, however – especially in the clouds where many independent businesses deploy interacting services on common infrastructure – seemingly i ...

HydEE: Failure Containment without Event Logging for Large Scale Send-Deterministic MPI Applications

Thomas Ropars

High performance computing will probably reach exascale in this decade. At this scale, mean time between failures is expected to be a few hours. Existing fault tolerant protocols for message passing applications will not be efficient anymore since they eit ...

High-Performance RMA-Based Broadcast on the Intel SCC

André Schiper, Thomas Ropars, Omid Shahmirzadi, Darko Petrovic

Many-core chips with more than 1000 cores are expected by the end of the decade. To overcome scalability issues related to cache coherence at such a scale, one of the main research directions is to leverage the message-passing programming model. The Intel ...

Linear Scalability of Distributed Applications

Nicolas Bonvin

The explosion of social applications such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, of electronic commerce with companies like Amazon.com and Ebay.com, and of Internet search has created the need for new technologies and appropriate systems to manage effectively ...

Model Checking of Distributed Algorithm Implementations

Maysam Yabandeh

It is notoriously difficult to develop reliable, high-performance distributed systems that run over asynchronous networks. Even if a distributed system is based on a well-understood distributed algorithm, its implementation can contain errors arising from ...

Democratizing Transactional Programming

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli

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 ...

The disagreement power of an adversary

Rachid Guerraoui

At the heart of distributed computing lies the fundamental result that the level of agreement that can be obtained in an asynchronous shared memory model where t processes can crash is exactly t + 1. In other words, an adversary that can crash any subset o ...

An economic approach for scalable and highly-available distributed applications

Karl Aberer, Nicolas Bonvin

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm for orchestrating large-scale distributed applications offers significant cost savings by reusing existing services. However, the high irregularity of client requests and the distributed nature of the approach m ...
