We present a new technique, early phase termination, for eliminating idle processors in parallel computations that use barrier synchronization. This technique simply terminates ea...
Until recently, a steadily rising clock rate and other uniprocessor microarchitectural improvements could be relied upon to consistently deliver increasing performance for a wide ...

We present Byzantine Disk Paxos, an asynchronous shared-memory consensus algorithm that uses a collection of n > 3t disks, t of which may fail by becoming non-responsive or arb...
Abstract. The ability to cooperate on common tasks in a distributed setting is key to solving a broad range of computation problems ranging from distributed search such as SETI to ...
