The authors provide a general introduction to the DSM field as well as a broad survey of the basic DSM concepts, mechanisms, design issues, and systems. The book concentrates on basic DSM algorithms, their enhancements, and their performance evaluation. In addition, it details implementations that employ DSM solutions at the software and the hardware level. This guide is a research and development reference that provides state-of-the art information that will be useful to architects, designers, and programmers of DSM systems.
Download or read book Shared Memory Synchronization written by Michael L. Scott and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From driving, flying, and swimming, to digging for unknown objects in space exploration, autonomous robots take on varied shapes and sizes. In part, autonomous robots are designed to perform tasks that are too dirty, dull, or dangerous for humans. With nontrivial autonomy and volition, they may soon claim their own place in human society. These robots will be our allies as we strive for understanding our natural and man-made environments and build positive synergies around us. Although we may never perfect replication of biological capabilities in robots, we must harness the inevitable emergence of robots that synchronizes with our own capacities to live, learn, and grow. This book is a snapshot of motivations and methodologies for our collective attempts to transform our lives and enable us to cohabit with robots that work with and for us. It reviews and guides the reader to seminal and continual developments that are the foundations for successful paradigms. It attempts to demystify the abilities and limitations of robots. It is a progress report on the continuing work that will fuel future endeavors.

Download or read book Middleware 2000 written by Joseph Sventek and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-06-29 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middleware is everywhere. Ever since the advent of sockets and other virtu- circuit abstractions, researchers have been looking for ways to incorporate high- value concepts into distributed systems platforms. Most distributed applications, especially Internet applications, are now programmed using such middleware platforms. Prior to 1998, there were several major conferences and workshops at which research into middleware was reported, including ICODP (International C- ference on Open Distributed Processing), ICDP (International Conference on Distributed Platforms) and SDNE (Services in Distributed and Networked - vironments). Middleware’98was a synthesis of these three conferences. Middleware 2000 continued the excellent tradition of Middleware’98. It p- vided a single venue for reporting state-of-the-art results in the provision of distributed systems platforms. The focus of Middleware 2000 was the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed systems platforms and architectures for future networked environments. Among the 70 initial submissions to Middleware 2000, 21 papers were - lected for inclusion in the technical program of the conference. Every paper was reviewed by four members of the program committee. The papers were judged - cording to their originality, presentation quality, and relevance to the conference topics. The accepted papers cover various subjects such as caching, re?ection, quality of service, and transactions.
Download or read book ERASURE CODING BASED CAUSALLY CONSISTENT SHARED MEMORY EMULATION ALGORITHM written by Shihang Lyu and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis develops CausalEC_exp, a causal read-write shared memory emulation algorithm for a distributed data store that uses erasure coding. In a message passing system with servers and clients, where every client is associated to a particular server to which it issues read and write operations, this thesis shows that every execution of CausalEC_exp is causally consistent.CausalEC_exp retains a key benefit of previously designed replication-based algorithms - every write operation is "local", that is, a server performs only local actions before returning to the client that issued a write operation. Furthermore, for servers that store object values in uncoded form, CausalEC_exp also ensures that read operations issued to those objects are local.This thesis shows that every operation issued to CausalEC_exp algorithm eventually terminates. In CausalEC_exp, some servers store object values corre- sponding to multiple versions temporarily, but we show that in an execution where, after a point where no new write operations are issued, the storage cost of every node eventually is equal to that of the underlying erasure coding scheme.This thesis also discusses potential benefits for using this causal shared memory algorithm that uses erasure coding, and points out directions for future work.

Download or read book Distributed Systems written by Matthieu Perrin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-03-25 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed Systems: Concurrency and Consistency explores the gray area of distributed systems and draws a map of weak consistency criteria, identifying several families and demonstrating how these may be implemented into a programming language. Unlike their sequential counterparts, distributed systems are much more difficult to design, and are therefore prone to problems. On a large scale, usability reminiscent of sequential consistency, which would provide the same global view to all users, is very expensive or impossible to achieve. This book investigates the best ways to specify the objects that are still possible to implement in these systems.

Download or read book Principles of Transactional Memory written by Rachid Guerraoui and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transactional memory (TM) is an appealing paradigm for concurrent programming on shared memory architectures. With a TM, threads of an application communicate, and synchronize their actions, via in-memory transactions. Transactions are atomic: programmers get the illusion that every transaction executes all its operations instantaneously, at some single and unique point in time. The aim of this book is to provide theoretical foundations for transactional memory.

Download or read book Consistent Distributed Storage written by Vincent Gramoli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a shared memory abstraction in distributed systems is a powerful tool that can simplify the design and implementation of software systems for networked platforms. This enables the system designers to work with abstract readable and writable objects without the need to deal with the complexity and dynamism of the underlying platform. The key property of shared memory implementations is the consistency guarantee that it provides under concurrent access to the shared objects. The most intuitive memory consistency model is atomicity because of its equivalence with a memory system where accesses occur serially, one at a time. Emulations of shared atomic memory in distributed systems is an active area of research and development. The problem proves to be challenging, and especially so in distributed message passing settings with unreliable components, as is often the case in networked systems. We present several approaches to implementing shared memory services with the help of replication on top of message-passing distributed platforms subject to a variety of perturbations in the computing medium.
