Shared logging services for fault-tolerant distributed computing

Distributed shared memory (DSM) has received increased attention as a mechanism for interprocess communication in loosely-coupled distributed systems because of its perceived advantages over direct use of message passing or remote procedure calls. One ...

This paper shows how a state-of-the-art software distributed shared-memory (DSM) protocol can be efficiently extended to tolerate single-node failures. In particular, we extend a home-based lazy release consistency (HLRC) DSM system with independent ...

Distributed applications are often built from sets of distributed components that must be co-ordinated in order to achieve some global behaviour. The common approach is to use a centralised controller for co-ordination, or occasionally a set of ...
