uBFT: Microsecond-Scale BFT using Disaggregated Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, Antoine Murat, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Athanasios Xygkis, Naama Ben David

We propose uBFT, the first State Machine Replication (SMR) system to achieve microsecond-scale latency in data centers, while using only 2f+1 replicas to tolerate f Byzantine failures. The Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) provided by uBFT is essential as pu ...

Microsecond Consensus for Microsecond Applications

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Athanasios Xygkis, Naama Ben David

We consider the problem of making apps fault-tolerant through replication, when apps operate at the microsecond scale, as in finance, embedded computing, and microservices apps. These apps need a replication scheme that also operates at the microsecond sca ...

The Impact of RDMA on Agreement

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Naama Ben David

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is becoming widely available in data centers. This technology allows a process to directly read and write the memory of a remote host, with a mechanism to control access permissions. In this paper, we study the fundamenta ...

Passing Messages while Sharing Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, Naama Ben David

We introduce a new distributed computing model called m&m that allows processes to both pass messages and share memory. Motivated by recent hardware trends, we find that this model improves the power of the pure message-passing and shared-memory models. As ...
