Simplifying Distributed System Development

Viktor Kuncak, Dejan Kostic, Maysam Yabandeh, Nedeljko Vasic

Distributed systems are difficult to design and develop. The difficulties arise both in basic safety correctness properties, and in achieving high performance. As a result of this complexity, the implementation of a distributed system often contains the ba ...

Anonymous and Fault-Tolerant Shared-Memory Computing

Rachid Guerraoui, Eric Ruppert

The vast majority of papers on distributed computing assume that processes are assigned unique identifiers before computation begins. But is this assumption necessary? What if processes do not have unique identifiers or do not wish to divulge them for re ...

Language Support for Fast and Reliable Message Based Communication in Singularity OS

James Richard Larus

Message-based communication offers potential benefits of providing stronger specification and cleaner separation between components. Compared with shared-memory interactions, message passing has the potential disadvantages of being more expensive (no direc ...

The Alpha of Indulgent Consensus

Rachid Guerraoui

This paper presents a simple framework unifying a family of consensus algorithms that can tolerate process crash failures and asynchronous periods of the network, also called indulgent consensus algorithms. Key to the framework is a new abstraction we intr ...

Temporal Streaming of Shared Memory

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi

Coherent read misses in shared-memory multiprocessors account for a substantial fraction of execution time in many important scientific and commercial workloads. We propose Temporal Streaming, to eliminate coherent read misses by streaming data to a proces ...

Store-Ordered Streaming of Shared Memory

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi

Coherence misses in shared-memory multiprocessors account for a substantial fraction of execution time in many important scientific and commercial workloads. Memory streaming provides a promising solution to the coherence miss bottleneck because it improve ...

Causeway: Support for Controlling and Analyzing the Execution of Web-Accessible Applications

Willy Zwaenepoel

Causeway provides runtime support for the development of distributed meta-applications. These meta-applications control or analyze the behavior of multi-tier distributed applications such as multi-tier web sites or web services. Examples of meta-applicatio ...

A Model for Parallel Programming over CORBA

Existing models for parallel programming over Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) do not address issues specific to parallel programming over a Network of Workstations (NOWs). This paper presents P-CORBA, a model for parallel programming over ...

Memory coherence activity prediction in commercial workloads

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi

Recent research indicates that prediction-based coherence optimizations offer substantial performance improvements for scientific applications in distributed shared memory multiprocessors. Important commercial applications also show sensitivity to coherenc ...
