Dynamic Byzantine Reliable Broadcast

Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi, Andrei Tonkikh

Reliable broadcast is a communication primitive guaranteeing, intuitively, that all processes in a distributed system deliver the same set of messages. The reason why this primitive is appealing is twofold: (i) we can implement it deterministically in a co ...

Asynchronous distributed coordination and consensus with threshold logical clocks

Bryan Alexander Ford

Consensus protocols for asynchronous networks are usually complex and inefficient, leading practical systems to rely on synchronous protocols. The invention proposes an approach to simplify asynchronous consensus by building it atop a novel threshold logic ...

Theory and Practice of Coroutines with Snapshots

Aleksandar Prokopec, Fengyun Liu

While event-driven programming is a widespread model for asynchronous computing, its inherent control flow fragmentation makes event-driven programs notoriously difficult to understand and maintain. Coroutines are a general control flow construct that can ...

Of Choices, Failures and Asynchrony: The Many Faces of Set Agreement

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

Set agreement is a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which processes collectively choose a small subset of values from a larger set of proposals. The impossibility of fault-tolerant set agreement in asynchronous networks is one of the seminal ...

How to Allocate Tasks Asynchronously

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

Asynchronous task allocation is a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which p asynchronous processes must execute a set of m tasks. Also known as write-all or do-all, this problem been studied extensively, both independently and as a key buildi ...

Finding Almost-Invariants in Distributed Systems

Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini, Maysam Yabandeh

It is notoriously hard to develop dependable distributed systems. This is partly due to the difficulties in foreseeing various corner cases and failure scenarios while implementing a system that will be deployed over an asynchronous network. In contrast, r ...

Energy Efficiency Comparison of Asynchronous and Synchronous Circuits Operating in the Sub-Threshold Regime

Yusuf Leblebici, Omer Can Akgun

Digital circuits operating in the sub-threshold regime are able to perform minimum energy operation at a given delay. In the sub-threshold regime circuit delay, hence the leakage energy consumption depends on the supply voltage exponentially. By reducing t ...
