Building Strongly-Consistent Systems Resilient to Failures, Partitions, and Slowdowns

Cristina Basescu

Distributed systems designers typically strive to improve performance and preserve availability despite failures or attacks; but, when strong consistency is also needed, they encounter fundamental limitations. The bottleneck is in replica coordination, whi ...

Hardware and Software Support for RPC-Centric Server Architecture

Mark Johnathon Sutherland

Online services have become ubiquitous in technological society, the global demand for which has driven enterprises to construct gigantic datacenters that run their software. Such facilities have also recently become a substrate for third-party organizatio ...

The Price of Distributed: Rate Loss in the CEO Problem

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Alper Köse, Ahmet Arda Atalik

In the distributed remote (CEO) source coding problem, many separate encoders observe independently noisy copies of an underlying source. The rate loss is the difference between the rate required in this distributed setting and the rate that would be requi ...

Hardware-Software Co-Design of an RPC Processor

Arash Pourhabibi Zarandi

The booming popularity of online services has led to a major evolution in the way these services are built and deployed. To cope with such online data-intensive services, service providers deploy several massive-scale datacenters, also referred to as wareh ...

The NEBULA RPC-Optimized Architecture

Babak Falsafi, Alexandros Daglis, Siddharth Gupta, Mark Johnathon Sutherland

Large-scale online services are commonly structured as a network of software tiers, which communicate over the datacenter network using RPCs. Ongoing trends towards software decomposition have led to the prevalence of tiers receiving and generating RPCs wi ...

Operating System and Network Co-Design for Latency-Critical Datacenter Applications

Evangelos Marios Kogias

Datacenters are the heart of our digital lives. Online applications, such as social-networking and e-commerce, run inside datacenters under strict Service Level Objectives for their tail latency. Tight latency SLOs are necessary for such services to remain ...

R2P2: Making RPCs first-class datacenter citizens

Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias, Adrien Ghosn, Georgios Prekas, Jonas Fietz

Remote Procedure Calls are widely used to connect datacenter applications with strict tail-latency service level objectives in the scale of µs. Existing solutions utilize streaming or datagram-based transport protocols for RPCs that impose overheads and li ...

Remote Source Coding Under Gaussian Noise: Dueling Roles of Power and Entropy Power

Michael Christoph Gastpar

The distributed remote source coding (the so-called CEO) problem is studied in the case where the underlying source, not necessarily Gaussian, has finite differential entropy and the observation noise is Gaussian. The main result is a new lower bound for t ...

IntegrCiTy - D2.3 Report - Enabling and integrating a common IT structure: Definition of a back-end layer architecture

François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Jessen Page, Gillian Jean Bernard Basso

The concept of the IntegrCiTy platform is built around the development of a single application as a suite of independent software: project partners will mutualize a certain number of tools that shall be integrated in the IntegrCiTy platform. Therefore, a r ...

Capturing Order in Social Interactions

Alessandro Vinciarelli

As humans appear to be literally wired for social interaction, it is not surprising to observe that social aspects of human behavior and psychology attract interest in the computing community as well. The gap between social animal and unsocial machine was ...

Type-based event dissemination

Sébastien Bähni

With the explosion of broadband Internet connections in the late 80s, new types of applications, called distributed applications, came to light. These applications typically seek to provide a user with remote services that appear to that user as if they we ...
