Abstract. Enterprise-system upgrades are unreliable and often produce downtime or data-loss. Errors in the upgrade procedure, such as broken dependencies, constitute the leading ca...
Conventional processor fault tolerance based on time/space redundancy is robust but prohibitively expensive for commodity processors. This paper explores an unconventional approac...
A lease is a token which grants its owner exclusive access to a resource for a defined span of time. In order to be able to tolerate failures, leases need to be coordinated by di...
