Abstract

This paper presents the foundations of Rapids ("Replicated Ada Partitions In Distributed Systems"), an implementation of the Distributed Systems Annex E incorporating the transparent replication of partitions in distributed Ada 95 applications. Rapids is a replication manager for semi-active replication based on a piecewise deterministic computation model It guarantees replica consistency for arbitrary Ada 95 partitions despite the inherent non-determinism of multitasking, offering k-resilient partitions. The Rapids prototype is implemented for the GNAT compiler and evolved from its PCS, Garlic.

Replication (computing)

Replication in computing involves sharing information so as to ensure consistency between redundant resources, such as software or hardware components, to improve reliability, fault-tolerance, or accessibility. Replication in computing can refer to: Data replication, where the same data is stored on multiple storage devices Computation replication, where the same computing task is executed many times.

Ada (programming language)

Ada is a structured, statically typed, imperative, and object-oriented high-level programming language, inspired by Pascal and other languages. It has built-in language support for design by contract (DbC), extremely strong typing, explicit concurrency, tasks, synchronous message passing, protected objects, and non-determinism. Ada improves code safety and maintainability by using the compiler to find errors in favor of runtime errors.

Compiler

In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language (the source language) into another language (the target language). The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming language (e.g. assembly language, object code, or machine code) to create an executable program. There are many different types of compilers which produce output in different useful forms.
