Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many asynchronous distributed systems, processes communicate by accessing objects in a shared memory. The ability of systems to solve problems in a fault-tolerant manner depends on the types of objects provided. Here, the wait-free model of fault-tolerance is used: non-faulty processes must run correctly even if other processes experience halting failures. The consensus problem, where processes begin with private inputs and must agree on one of them, has played a central role in analysing the power of distributed systems. This thesis studies the ability of different types of objects to solve consensus. An object type has consensus number 'n' if it can be used (with read/writehsp sp="0.167"hsp sp="0.167"regist ers to solve consensus among 'n' processes but not among ' n'+1 processes. Conditions are given that are necessary and sufficient for an object type to have consensus number 'n'. This characterization applies to two large classes of objects: readable objects and read-modify-write (RMW) objects. An object is readable if processes can read its state without changing the state. For a RMW object, all operations update the state and then return the previous state of the object. When the type is of bounded size, the characterization may be used to decide the question "Does the type 'T' have consensus number 'n'?", which is undecidable for arbitrary types. The characterization is also used to show that different readable and RMW types with consensus number ' n' cannot be used in combination to solve consensus for 'n '+1 processes. Ordinarily, processes may access only one object in shared memory at a time. This thesis also studies how much the consensus number of a type increases in the multi-object and transactional models, where processes can perform operations on up to 'm' of the objects in a single atomic action. These models are much more convenient for programmers to use, since they guarantee that certain blocks of operations will be executed without interruptions from other processes. This thesis establishes bounds on the consensus numbers of multi-objects and transactional objects as a function of 'm' and the consensus numbers of the corresponding single-access types.

Download or read book Concurrent Crash-Prone Shared Memory Systems written by Michel Raynal and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory is what remains true when technology is changing. So, it is important to know and master the basic concepts and the theoretical tools that underlie the design of the systems we are using today and the systems we will use tomorrow. This means that, given a computing model, we need to know what can be done and what cannot be done in that model. Considering systems built on top of an asynchronous read/write shared memory prone to process crashes, this monograph presents and develops the fundamental notions that are universal constructions, consensus numbers, distributed recursivity, power of the BG simulation, and what can be done when one has to cope with process anonymity and/or memory anonymity. Numerous distributed algorithms are presented, the aim of which is being to help the reader better understand the power and the subtleties of the notions that are presented. In addition, the reader can appreciate the simplicity and beauty of some of these algorithms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transactional memory (TM) is an appealing paradigm for concurrent programming on shared memory architectures. With a TM, threads of an application communicate, and synchronize their actions, via in-memory transactions. Transactions are atomic: programmers get the illusion that every transaction executes all its operations instantaneously, at some single and unique point in time. The aim of this book is to provide theoretical foundations for transactional memory.

Book excerpt: DISC, the International Symposium on DIStributed Computing, is an annual forum for research presentations on all facets of distributed computing. DISC 2000 was held on4-6 October, 2000 in Toledo, Spain. This volume includes 23 contributed papers and the extended abstract of an invited lecture from last year’s DISC. It is expected that the regular papers will later be submitted in a more polished form to fully refereed scienti?c journals. The extended abstracts of this year’s invited lectures, by Jean-Claude Bermond and Sam Toueg, will appear in next year’s proceedings. We received over 100 regular submissions, a record for DISC. These s- missions were read and evaluated by the program committee, with the help of external reviewers when needed. Overall, the quality of the submissions was excellent, and we were unable to accept many deserving papers. This year’s Best Student Paper award goes to “Polynomial and Adaptive Long-Lived (2k?1)-Renaming” by Hagit Attiya and Arie Fouren. Arie Fouren is the student author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a shared memory abstraction in distributed systems is a powerful tool that can simplify the design and implementation of software systems for networked platforms. This enables the system designers to work with abstract readable and writable objects without the need to deal with the complexity and dynamism of the underlying platform. The key property of shared memory implementations is the consistency guarantee that it provides under concurrent access to the shared objects. The most intuitive memory consistency model is atomicity because of its equivalence with a memory system where accesses occur serially, one at a time. Emulations of shared atomic memory in distributed systems is an active area of research and development. The problem proves to be challenging, and especially so in distributed message passing settings with unreliable components, as is often the case in networked systems. We present several approaches to implementing shared memory services with the help of replication on top of message-passing distributed platforms subject to a variety of perturbations in the computing medium.

Download or read book Principles of Transactional Memory written by Rachid Guerraoui and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transactional memory (TM) is an appealing paradigm for concurrent programming on shared memory architectures. With a TM, threads of an application communicate, and synchronize their actions, via in-memory transactions. Each transaction can perform any number of operations on shared data, and then either commit or abort. When the transaction commits, the effects of all its operations become immediately visible to other transactions; when it aborts, however, those effects are entirely discarded. Transactions are atomic: programmers get the illusion that every transaction executes all its operations instantaneously, at some single and unique point in time. Yet, a TM runs transactions concurrently to leverage the parallelism offered by modern processors. The aim of this book is to provide theoretical foundations for transactional memory. This includes defining a model of a TM, as well as answering precisely when a TM implementation is correct, what kind of properties it can ensure, what are the power and limitations of a TM, and what inherent trade-offs are involved in designing a TM algorithm. While the focus of this book is on the fundamental principles, its goal is to capture the common intuition behind the semantics of TMs and the properties of existing TM implementations.

This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the power of distributed systems, it is necessary to understand their inherent limitations: what problems cannot be solved in particular systems, or without sufficient resources (such as time or space). This book presents key techniques for proving such impossibility results and applies them to a variety of different problems in a variety of different system models. Insights gained from these results are highlighted, aspects of a problem that make it difficult are isolated, features of an architecture that make it inadequate for solving certain problems efficiently are identified, and different system models are compared.

Book excerpt: DISC, the International Symposium on DIStributed Computing, is an annual forum for research presentations on all facets of distributed computing. This volume includes 23 contributed papers and an invited lecture, all presented at DISC ’99, held on September 27-29, 1999 in Bratislava, Slovak Republic. In addition to regular submissions, the call for papers for DISC ’99 also - licited Brief Announcements (BAs). We received 60 regular submissions and 15 brief announcement submissions. These were read and evaluated by the p- gramcommittee, with the additional help of external reviewerswhen needed. At the program committee meeting on June 10-11 at Dartmouth College, Hanover, USA, 23 regular submissions and 4 BAs were selected for presentation at DISC ’99. The extended abstracts of these 23 regular papers appear in this volume, while the four BAs appear as a special publication of Comenius Univ- sity, Bratislava– the hostof DISC ’99.It is expected that the regularpapers will be submitted later, in more polished form, to fully refereed scienti?c journals. Of the 23 regular papers selected for the conference, 12 quali?ed for the Best Student Paper award. The program committee awarded this honor to the paper entitled “Revisiting the Weakest Failure Detector for Uniform Reliable Broadcast” by Marcos Aguilera, Sam Toueg, and Borislav Deianov. Marcos and Borislav, who are both students, share this award.
