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.
This paper addresses the problem of atomic multicasting messages in asynchronous distributed systems. Firstly, we give a characterization of the notion of ``genuine atomic multicast''. This characterization leads to a better understanding of the difference ...
The perfectly synchronized round model provides the powerful abstraction of crash-stop failures with atomic message delivery. This abstraction makes distributed programming very easy. We present an implementation of this abstraction in a distributed system ...
This paper presents two main contributions: semi-passive replication and Lazy Consensus. The former is a replication technique with parsimonious processing. It is based on the latter; a variant of Consensus allowing the lazy evaluation of proposed values. ...
Leasing is a very effective way to improve the performance of distributed algorithms without hampering their fault-tolerance. The notion of lease has traditionally been defined using a global notion of time and was hence strongly tied to synchronous system ...
A. Coccoli, P. Urban, A. Bondavalli, and A. Schiper. Performance analysis of a consensus algorithm combining Stochastic Activity Networks and measurements. In Proc. Int'l Conf. on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN), pages 551-560, Washington, DC, USA, J ...
We study the fairness of TCP Vegas. The latter is an alternative to the commonly used TCP Reno, and uses measures of the round trip time as feedback on congestion. We consider two cases that depend on the value of the two parameters alpha and beta controll ...
Contention-Aware Metrics for Distributed Algorithms: Comparison of Atomic Broadcast Algorithms Peter Urban, Xavier Defago and Andre Schiper Resource contention is widely recognized as having a major impact on the performance of distributed algorithms. Neve ...
This paper extends the failures detector approach from crash-stop failures to muteness failures. Muteness failures are malicious failures in which a process stops sending algorithm messages, but might continue to send other messages, e.g. 'I-am-alive' mess ...
It is now recognized that the Consensus problem is a fundamental problem when one has to design and implement reliable asynchronous distributed systems. This chapter is on the Consensus problem. It studies Consensus in two failure models, namely, the Crash ...
A distributed algorithm comprises a collection of sequential-code entities, which are spread over different computers connected to a network. The process of designing a distributed algorithm is influenced by the assumptions we make on the computational env ...
