The Collective Memory of Amnesic Processes

Rachid Guerraoui, Bastian Pochon, James Pugh, Ron Levy

This paper considers the problem of robustly emulating a shared atomic memory over a distributed message passing system where processes can fail by crashing and possibly recover. We revisit the notion of atomicity in the crash-recovery context and introduc ...

Abstractions for asynchronous distributed computing with malicious players

Marko Vukolic

In modern distributed systems, failures are the norm rather than the exception. In many cases, these failures are not benign. Settings such as the Internet might incur malicious (also called Byzantine or arbitrary) behavior and asynchrony. As a result, and ...

Reliable Distributed Storage

Rachid Guerraoui, Marko Vukolic

Storage is nowadays commonly provided as a service, accessed by clients over a network. A distributed storage service provides clients with the abstraction of a single reliable shared storage device, using a collection of possibly unreliable computing unit ...

Optimistic Erasure-Coded Distributed Storage

Rachid Guerraoui, Ron Levy, Partha Dutta

We study erasure-coded atomic register implementations in an asynchronous crash-recovery model. Erasure coding provides a cheap and space-efficient way to tolerate failures in a distributed system. This paper presents ORCAS, Optimistic eRasure-Coded Atomic ...

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 ...

Amnesic Distributed Storage

Rachid Guerraoui

Distributed storage algorithms implement the abstraction of a shared register over distributed base objects. We study a specific class of storage algorithms, which we call amnesic: these have the pragmatic property that old values written in the implemente ...

A High Throughput Atomic Storage Algorithm

Rachid Guerraoui, Dejan Kostic, Ron Levy

This paper presents an algorithm to ensure the atomicity of a distributed storage that can be read and written by any number of clients. In failure-free and synchronous situations, and even if there is contention, our algorithm has a high write throughput ...

Refined Quorum Systems

Rachid Guerraoui, Marko Vukolic

It is considered good distributed computing practice to devise object implementations that tolerate contention, periods of asynchrony and a large number of failures, but perform fast if few failures occur, the system is synchronous and there is no contenti ...

How Fast Can a Very Robust Read Be?

Rachid Guerraoui, Marko Vukolic

This paper studies the time complexity of reading unauthenticated data from a distributed storage made of a set of failure-prone base objects. More specifically, we consider the abstraction of a robust read/write storage that provides wait-free access to u ...
