The Complexity of Reliable and Secure Distributed Transactions

Jingjing Wang

The use of transactions in distributed systems dates back to the 70's. The last decade has also seen the proliferation of transactional systems. In the existing transactional systems, many protocols employ a centralized approach in executing a distributed ...

How Fast can a Distributed Transaction Commit?

Rachid Guerraoui, Jingjing Wang

The atomic commit problem lies at the heart of distributed database systems. The problem consists for a set of processes (database nodes) to agree on whether to commit or abort a transaction (agreement property). The commit decision can only be taken if al ...

Composing Relaxed Transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Mihai Letia

As the classic transactional abstraction is sometimes considered too restrictive in leveraging parallelism, a lot of work has been devoted to devising relaxed transactional models with the goal of improving concurrency. Nevertheless, the quest for improvin ...

On the weakest failure detector ever

Rachid Guerraoui

Many problems in distributed computing are impossible to solve when no information about process failures is available. It is common to ask what information about failures is necessary and sufficient to circumvent some specific impossibility, e. g., consen ...

The Time-Complexity of Local Decision in Distributed Agreement

Rachid Guerraoui, Partha Dutta, Bastian Pochon

Agreement is at the heart of distributed computing. In its simple form, it requires a set of processes to decide on a common value out of the values they propose. The time-complexity of distributed agreement problems is generally measured in terms of the n ...

Tashkent: Uniting Durability with Transaction Ordering for High-Performance Scalable Database Replication

Fernando Pedone, Sameh Mohamed Elnikety

In stand-alone databases, the functions of ordering the transaction commits and making the effects of transactions durable are performed in one single action, namely the writing of the commit record to disk. For efficiency many of these writes are grouped ...
