Three protocols for gossip-based failure detection services in large-scale heterogeneous clusters are analyzed and compared. The basic gossip protocol provides a means by which fai...
Inthispaper, anewparallel processingsystemforcommercial applications, so called SPAX, is described. SPAX cost-effectively overcomes the SMP limitation by providing scalabilityof t...
Multiprocessor systems should exist in the the larger context of distributed systems, allowing multiprocessor resources to be shared by those that need them. Unfortunately, typica...
We present hoc: a fast, scalable object repository providing programmers with a general storage module. hoc may be used to implement DSMs as well as distributed cache subsystems. h...
