On the Message Complexity of Indulgent Consensus

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert

Many recommend planning for the worst and hoping for the best. In this paper we devise efficient indulgent consensus algorithms that can tolerate crash failures and arbitrarily long periods of asynchrony, and yet perform (asymptotically) optimally in well- ...

A profiling framework for high level design space exploration for memory and system architectures

In 1971, the first microprocessor produced in mass production had 2300 transistor and was able to compute 60'000 operations per second at 740 kHz. Nowadays, even a common gaming console uses a central unit including 243 millions of transistors running at 4 ...

Reduced complexity attacks on the alternating step generator

Willi Meier, Shahram Khazaei, Simon Fischer

In this paper, we present some reduced complexity attacks on the Alternating Step Generator (ASG). The attacks are based on a quite general framework and mostly benefit from the low sampling resistance of the ASG, and of an abnormal behavior related to the ...

A HW/SW codesign platform for Algorithm-Architecture mapping

Marco Mattavelli, Christophe Lucarz, Julien Dubois

The increasing complexity of signal processing algorithms has lead to the need of developing the algorithms specifications using generic software implementations that become in practice the reference implementation. This fact can be particularly observed i ...

Robust Emulations of Shared Memory in a Crash-Recovery Model

Rachid Guerraoui, Ron Levy

A shared memory abstraction can be robustly emulated over an asynchronous message passing system where any process can fail by crashing and possibly recover (crash-recovery model), by having (a) the processes exchange messages to synchronize their read and ...

An automatic tool for high-level algorithmic complexity evaluation and optimization for system design

Marco Mattavelli, Massimo Ravasi

The increasing complexity of nowadays applications has lead to the need of more and more intensive specification and validation tasks by means of software implementations. Besides, as the complexity grows, it is becoming very hard to understand the specifi ...

How fast can a distributed atomic read be?

Rachid Guerraoui, Ron Levy, Partha Dutta, Arindam Chakraborty

This paper addresses the problem of designing an efficient implementation of a basic atomic read-write data structure over an asynchronous message-passing system. In particular, we consider time-efficient implementations of this abstraction in the case of ...

Optimistic Fair Exchange based on Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing

Serge Vaudenay, Gildas Avoine

In this paper we propose an optimistic two-party fair exchange protocol which does not rely on a centralized trusted third party. Instead, the fairness of the protocol relies on the honesty of part of the neighbor participants. This new concept, which is b ...

Data-Aware Multicast

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster

This paper presents a multicast algorithm for peer-to-peer dissemination of events in a distributed topic-based publish-subscribe system, where processes publish events of certain topics, organized in a hierarchy, and expect events of topics they subscribe ...
