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, significantly improving performance by avoiding I/O during the ex ...

Comparison of Database Replication Techniques Based on Total Order Broadcast

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann

In this paper, we present a performance comparison of database replication techniques based on total order broadcast. While the performance of total order broadcast-based replication techniques has been studied in previous papers, this paper presents many ...

Generalized Snapshot Isolation and a Prefix-Consistent Implementation

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 databas ...

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 ...

C-JDBC: Flexible Database Clustering Middleware

Willy Zwaenepoel, Emmanuel Cecchet

Large web or e-commerce sites are frequently hosted on clusters. Successful open-source tools exist for clustering the front tiers of such sites (web servers and application servers). No comparable success has been achieved for scaling the backend database ...

The Database State Machine Approach

Rachid Guerraoui, André Schiper, Fernando Pedone

Database replication protocols have historically been built on top of distributed database systems, and have consequently been designed and implemented using distributed transactional mechanisms, such as atomic commitment. We present the Database State Mac ...

Conflict-Aware Scheduling for Dynamic Content Applications

Willy Zwaenepoel

We present a new lazy replication technique, suitable for scaling the back-end database of a dynamic content site using a cluster of commodity computers. Our technique, called conflict-aware scheduling, provides both throughput scaling and 1-copy serializa ...

Distributed Versioning: Consistent Replication for Scaling Back-end Databases of Dynamic Content Sites

Willy Zwaenepoel

Dynamic content Web sites consist of a front-end Web server, an application server and a back-end database. In this paper we introduce distributed versioning, a new method for scaling the back-end database through replication. Distributed versioning provid ...

Porting OMTTs to CORBA

Jörg Kienzle

The Common Object Request Broker Architecture standardizes a platform- and programming-language-independent distributed object com-puting environment. It also provides a standard for several distributed servic-es. The Object Transaction Service provides an ...
