The Disclosure Power of Shared Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Julien Michel Stainer, Peva François Blanchard

Shared objects are the means by which processes gather and exchange information about the state of a distributed system. Objects that disclose more information about the system—and thus provide a more centralized view—are therefore more desirable. In this ...

The Disclosure Power of Shared Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Julien Michel Stainer, Peva François Blanchard

Shared objects are the means by which processes gather and exchange information about the state of a distributed system. Objects that disclose more information about the system are therefore more desirable. In this paper, we propose the schedule reconstruc ...

Leveraging Hardware Message Passing for Efficient Thread Synchronization

André Schiper, Thomas Ropars, Darko Petrovic

As the level of parallelism in manycore processors keeps increasing, providing efficient mechanisms for thread synchronization in concurrent programs is becoming a major concern. On cache-coherent shared-memory processors, synchronization efficiency is ult ...

Consistency Models in Distributed Systems with Physical Clocks

Jiaqing Du

Most existing distributed systems use logical clocks to order events in the implementation of various consistency models. Although logical clocks are straightforward to implement and maintain, they may affect the scalability, availability, and latency of t ...

A paradox of eventual linearizability in shared memory

Rachid Guerraoui, Eric Ruppert

This paper compares, for the rst time, the computational power of linearizable objects with that of eventually linearizable ones. We present the following paradox. We show that, unsurprisingly, no set of eventually linearizable objects can (1) implement an ...

Speculative Linearizability

Rachid Guerraoui, Viktor Kuncak, Giuliano Losa

Linearizability is a key design methodology for reasoning about implementations of concurrent abstract data types in both shared memory and message passing systems. It provides the illusion that operations execute sequentially and fault-free, despite the a ...

Laws of Order: Expensive Synchronization in Concurrent Algorithms Cannot be Eliminated

Rachid Guerraoui, Hagit Albo Attiya

Building correct and efﬁcient concurrent algorithms is known to be a difﬁcult problem of fundamental importance. To achieve ef- ﬁciency, designers try to remove unnecessary and costly synchro- nization. However, not only is this manual trial-and-error proc ...
