Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

The impossibility of boosting distributed service resilience

Rachid Guerraoui

We study f -resilient services, which are guaranteed to operate as long as no more than f of the associated processes fail. We prove three theorems asserting the impossibility of boosting the resilience of such services. Our ﬁrst theorem allows any connect ...

The VELOX Transactional Memory Stack

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Michal Kapalka, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Pascal Felber

The adoption of multi- and many-core architectures for mainstream computing undoubtedly brings profound changes in the way software is developed. In particular, the use of fine grained locking as the multi-core programmer’s coordination methodology is cons ...

Performance prediction and race detection in message-passing parallel applications

Basile Schäli

The combination of low cost clusters and multicore processors lowers the barrier for accessing massive amounts of computing power. As computational sciences advance, the use of in silico simulations to complement in vivo experiments promises parallel progr ...

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 ...

Event-Based Programming without Inversion of Control

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller

The actor computation model is especially suited for concurrent and distributed computations. Actors are basically concurrent processes which communicate through asynchronous message passing. When combined with pattern matching for messages, actor-based pr ...

NASCENT: Network Layer Service for Vicinity Ad-hoc Groups

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jun Luo

Many envisioned applications of ad hoc networks involve only small-scale networks that we term Vicinity Ad-hoc Groups (VAGs). Distributed coordination services, instead of pairwise communications, are the primary requirements of VAGs. Existing designs for ...

Evaluating the performance of distributed agreement algorithms

Nowadays, networked computers are present in most aspects of everyday life. Moreover, essential parts of society come to depend on distributed systems formed of networked computers, thus making such systems secure and fault tolerant is a top priority. If t ...

An Efficient Universal Construction for Message-Passing Systems

Rachid Guerraoui, Bastian Pochon, Partha Dutta

A universal construction is an algorithm that transforms any object with a sequential specification into a wait-free and linearizable implementation of that object. This paper presents a novel universal construction algorithm for a message-passing system w ...

Using Optimistic Atomic Broadcast in Transaction Processing Systems

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Fernando Pedone

Atomic broadcast primitives are often proposed as a mechanism to allow fault-tolerant cooperation between sites in a distributed system. Unfortunately, the delay incurred before a message can be delivered makes it difficult to implement high performance, s ...

Solving consensus

Distributed systems are the basis of widespread computing facilities enabling many of our daily life activities. Telebanking, electronic commerce, online booking-reservation, and telecommunication are examples of common services that rely on distributed sy ...
