The Complexity of Reliable and Secure Distributed Transactions

The use of transactions in distributed systems dates back to the 70's. The last decade has also seen the proliferation of transactional systems. In the existing transactional systems, many protocols employ a centralized approach in executing a distributed ...

Locking Timestamps versus Locking Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, Tudor Alexandru David, Junxiong Wang

We present multiversion timestamp locking (MVTL), a new genre of multiversion concurrency control algorithms for serializable transactions. The key idea behind MVTL is simple: lock individual timestamps instead of locking objects. After presenting a generi ...

How Fast can a Distributed Transaction Commit?

Rachid Guerraoui, Junxiong Wang

The atomic commit problem lies at the heart of distributed database systems. The problem consists for a set of processes (database nodes) to agree on whether to commit or abort a transaction (agreement property). The commit decision can only be taken if al ...

Elastic transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

This paper presents elastic transactions, an appealing alternative to traditional transactions, in particular to implement search structures in shared memory multicore architectures. Upon conflict detection, an elastic transaction might drop what it did so ...

Compact and Efficient UC Commitments under Atomic-Exchanges

Serge Vaudenay

We devise a multiple (concurrent) commitment scheme operating on large messages. It uses an ideal global setup functionality in a minimalistic way. The commitment phase is non-interactive. It is presented in a modular way so that the internal building bloc ...

Composing Relaxed Transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Mihai Letia

As the classic transactional abstraction is sometimes considered too restrictive in leveraging parallelism, a lot of work has been devoted to devising relaxed transactional models with the goal of improving concurrency. Nevertheless, the quest for improvin ...

Outsourced Pattern Matching

Sebastian Faust

In secure delegatable computation, computationally weak devices (or clients) wish to outsource their computation and data to an untrusted server in the cloud. While most earlier work considers the general question of how to securely outsource any computati ...

Clock-SI: Snapshot Isolation for Partitioned Data Stores Using Loosely Synchronized Clocks

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sameh Mohamed Elnikety, Jiaqing Du

Clock-SI is a fully distributed protocol that implements snapshot isolation (SI) for partitioned data stores. It derives snapshot and commit timestamps from loosely synchronized clocks, rather than from a centralized timestamp authority as used in current ...

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 ...

S-Paxos: Offloading the Leader for High Throughput State Machine Replication

André Schiper, Zarko Milosevic, Nuno Filipe de Sousa Santos, Martin Biely

Implementations of state machine replication are prevalently using variants of Paxos or other leader-based protocols. Typically these protocols are also leader-centric, in the sense that the leader performs more work than the non-leader replicas. Such prot ...
