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 ...

Synchronization using failure detectors

Many important synchronization problems in distributed computing are impossible to solve (in a fault-tolerant manner) in purely asynchronous systems, where message transmission delays and relative processor speeds are unbounded. It is then natural to seek ...

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 ...

Priority systems [deadlock-free systems]

Joseph Sifakis

We present a framework for the incremental construction of deadlock-free systems meeting given safety properties. The framework borrows concepts and basic results from the controller synthesis paradigm by considering a step in the construction process as a ...

The weakest failure detectors to solve Quittable Consensus and Non-Blocking Atomic Commit

Rachid Guerraoui

We introduce quittable consensus, a natural variation of the consensus problem, where processes have the option to agree on “quit” if failures occur, and we relate this problem to the well-known problem of non-blocking atomic commit. We then determine the ...

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 ...
