Book excerpt: Future requirements for computing speed, system reliability, and cost-effectiveness entail the development of alternative computers to replace the traditional von Neumann organization. As computing networks come into being, one of the latest dreams is now possible - distributed computing. Distributed computing brings transparent access to as much computer power and data as the user needs for accomplishing any given task - simultaneously achieving high performance and reliability. The subject of distributed computing is diverse, and many researchers are investigating various issues concerning the structure of hardware and the design of distributed software. Distributed System Design defines a distributed system as one that looks to its users like an ordinary system, but runs on a set of autonomous processing elements (PEs) where each PE has a separate physical memory space and the message transmission delay is not negligible. With close cooperation among these PEs, the system supports an arbitrary number of processes and dynamic extensions. Distributed System Design outlines the main motivations for building a distributed system, including: inherently distributed applications performance/cost resource sharing flexibility and extendibility availability and fault tolerance scalability Presenting basic concepts, problems, and possible solutions, this reference serves graduate students in distributed system design as well as computer professionals analyzing and designing distributed/open/parallel systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the most important fault-tolerant distributed programming abstractions and their associated distributed algorithms, in particular in terms of reliable communication and agreement, which lie at the heart of nearly all distributed applications. These programming abstractions, distributed objects or services, allow software designers and programmers to cope with asynchrony and the most important types of failures such as process crashes, message losses, and malicious behaviors of computing entities, widely known under the term "Byzantine fault-tolerance". The author introduces these notions in an incremental manner, starting from a clear specification, followed by algorithms which are first described intuitively and then proved correct. The book also presents impossibility results in classic distributed computing models, along with strategies, mainly failure detectors and randomization, that allow us to enrich these models. In this sense, the book constitutes an introduction to the science of distributed computing, with applications in all domains of distributed systems, such as cloud computing and blockchains. Each chapter comes with exercises and bibliographic notes to help the reader approach, understand, and master the fascinating field of fault-tolerant distributed computing.

Download or read book Data centric Programming for Distributed Systems written by Peter Alexander Alvaro and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed systems are difficult to reason about and program because of fundamental uncertainty in their executions, arising from sources of nondeterminism such as asynchrony and partial failure. Until relatively recently, responsibility for managing these complexities was relegated to a small group of experts, who hid them behind infrastructure-backed abstractions such as distributed transactions. As a consequence of technology trends including the rise of cloud computing, the proliferation of open-source storage and processing technologies, and the ubiquity of personal mobile devices, today nearly all non-trivial applications are physically distributed and combine a variety of heterogeneous technologies, including "NoSQL" stores, message queues and caches. Application developers and analysts must now (alongside infrastructure engineers) take on the challenges of distributed programming, with only the meager assistance provided by legacy languages and tools which reflect a single-site, sequential model of computation. This thesis presents an attempt to avert this crisis by rethinking both the languages we use to implement distributed systems and the analyses and tools we use to understand them. We begin by studying both large-scale storage systems and the coordination protocols they require for correct behavior through the lens of declarative, query-based programming languages. We then use these experiences to guide the design of a new class of "disorderly" programming languages, which enable the succinct expression of common distributed systems patterns while capturing uncertainty in their semantics. We first present Dedalus, a language that extends Datalog with a small set of temporal operators that intuitively capture change and temporal uncertainty, and devise a model- theoretic semantics that allows us to formally study the relationship between programs and their outcomes. We then develop Bloom, which provides--in addition to a programmer-friendly syntax and mechanisms for structuring and reuse--powerful analysis capabilities that identify when distributed programs produce deterministic outcomes despite widespread nondeterminism in their executions. On this foundation we develop a collection of program analyses that help programmers to reason about whether their distributed programs produce correct outcomes in the face of asynchrony and partial failure. Blazes addresses the challenge of asynchrony, providing assurances that distributed systems (implemented in Bloom or in parallel dataflow frameworks such as Apache Storm) produce consistent outcomes in all executions. When it cannot provide this assurance, Blazes augments the system with carefully-chosen synchronization code that ensures deterministic outcomes while minimizing global coordination. Lineage-driven fault injection (LDFI)--which addresses the challenge of partial failure--uses data lineage to reason about whether programs written in Dedalus or Bloom provide adequate redundancy to overcome a variety of failures that can occur during execution, including component failure, message loss and network partitions. LDFI can find fault-tolerance bugs using an order of magnitude fewer executions than random fault injection strategies, and can provide guarantees that programs are bug-free for given configurations and execution bounds.

Download or read book Language Support for Loosely Consistent Distributed Programming written by Neil Robert George Conway and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by the widespread adoption of both cloud computing and mobile devices, distributed computing is increasingly commonplace. As a result, a growing proportion of developers must tackle the complexity of distributed programming--that is, they must ensure correct application behavior in the face of asynchrony, concurrency, and partial failure. To help address these difficulties, developers have traditionally relied upon system infrastructure that provides strong consistency guarantees (e.g., consensus protocols and distributed transactions). These mechanisms hide much of the complexity of distributed computing--for example, by allowing programmers to assume that all nodes observe the same set of events in the same order. Unfortunately, providing such strong guarantees becomes increasingly expensive as the scale of the system grows, resulting in availability and latency costs that are unacceptable for many modern applications. Hence, many developers have explored building applications that only require loose consistency guarantees--for example, storage systems that only guarantee that all replicas eventually converge to the same state, meaning that a replica might exhibit an arbitrary state at any particular time. Adopting loose consistency involves making a well-known tradeoff: developers can avoid paying the latency and availability costs incurred by mechanisms for achieving strong consistency, but in exchange they must deal with the full complexity of distributed computing. As a result, achieving correct application behavior in this environment is very difficult. This thesis explores how to aid developers of loosely consistent applications by providing programming language support for the difficulties they face. The language level is a natural place to tackle this problem: because developers that use loose consistency have fewer system facilities that they can depend on, consistency concerns are naturally pushed into application logic. In part, our goal has been to recognize, formalize, and automate application-level consistency patterns. We describe three language variants that each tackle a different challenge in distributed programming. Each variant is a modification of Bloom, a declarative language for distributed programming we have developed at UC Berkeley. The first variant of Bloom, BloomL, enables deterministic distributed programming without the need for distributed coordination. Second, Edelweiss allows distributed storage reclamation protocols to be generated in a safe and automatic fashion. Finally, BloomPO adds sophisticated ordering constraints that we use to develop a declarative, high-level implementation of concurrent editing, a particularly difficult class of loosely consistent programs.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Working Conference on Dependable Computing for Critical Applications was the first conference organized by IFIP Working Group 10. 4 "Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance", in cooperation with the Technical Committee on Fault-Tolerant Computing of the IEEE Computer Society, and the Technical Committee 7 on Systems Reliability, Safety and Security of EWlCS. The rationale for the Working Conference is best expressed by the aims of WG 10. 4: " Increasingly, individuals and organizations are developing or procuring sophisticated computing systems on whose services they need to place great reliance. In differing circumstances, the focus will be on differing properties of such services - e. g. continuity, performance, real-time response, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions. The notion of dependability, defined as that property of a computing system which allows reliance to be justifiably placed on the service it delivers, enables these various concerns to be subsumed within a single conceptual framework. Dependability thus includes as special cases such attributes as reliability, availability, safety, security. The Working Group is aimed at identifying and integrating approaches, methods and techniques for specifying, designing, building, assessing, validating, operating and maintaining computer systems which should exhibit some or all of these attributes. " The concept of WG 10. 4 was formulated during the IFIP Working Conference on Reliable Computing and Fault Tolerance on September 27-29, 1979 in London, England, held in conjunction with the Europ-IFIP 79 Conference.

Download or read book A Review of Ada Tasking written by Alan Burns and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1987-06-24 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ada* is unquestionably one of the most significant programming languages to emerge in the last decade. The manner of its inception and support by the US Department of Defense (DoD) ensures that it will be used extensively for the indefinite future in programming large and complex systems. The growing availability of compilers means that many organisations are already committed to using the language for sizable and significant applications. As a perhaps inevitable result of its design goals, Ada is a "large" language. It has Pascal-like control and type constructs; a mechanism for exception handling; a package structure for information hiding, decomposition and separate compilation; facilities for low-level programming; and a tasking model of concurrency. It is perhaps this last area that has generated most debate, criticism and disagreement. The purpose of this book is to review the tasking model in the light of the extensive analysis and comment which has appeared in the literature. The review is necessarily wide-ranging, including discussion of - Ada as a general purpose concurrent programming language, - Ada as a language for embedded and distributed systems, - implementation issues, with particular reference to distributed systems, - formal semantics, specification and verification, - proposed language modifications. By consolidating this discussion within the confines of a single review, potential users of the tasking facility are enabled to familiarise themselves with all the factors which may impinge upon the performance, reliability and correctness of their software. The book also provides a focus for any debate on modifications to the Ada language, or developments from it.
