Abstract. We argue that failure detectors encapsulate fairness. Fairness is a measure of the number of steps a process takes relative to another processes and/or messages in transi...
Due to power wall, memory wall, and ILP wall, we are facing the end of ever increasing single-threaded performance. For this reason, multicore and manycore processors are arising ...
Modern Byzantine fault-tolerant state machine replication (BFT) protocols involve about 20.000 lines of challenging C++ code encompassing synchronization, networking and cryptogra...
