Leap Forward Virtual Clock: A New Fair Queuing Scheme with Guaranteed Delays and Throughput Fairness
We describe an ejjicient fair queuing scheme, Leap Forward Virtual Clock, that provides end-to-end delay bounds simdar to WFQ, along with throughput fairness. Our scheme can be im...

Determining Consensus Numbers
Conditions on a shared object type T are given that are both necessary and sufficient for wait-free n-process consensus to be solvable using objects of type T and registers. The co...

The Load and Availability of Byzantine Quorum Systems
Replicated services accessed via quorums enable each access to be performed at only a subset (quorum) of the servers and achieve consistency across accesses by requiring any two qu...

Collecting Distributed Garbage Cycles by Back Tracing
Systems that store objects at a large number of sites require fault-tolerant and timely garbage collection. A popular technique is to trace each site independently using inter-sit...

Implementing Wait-Free Objects on Priority-Based Systems
Wait-free objects are often implemented through the use of a \helping scheme", whereby one process \helps" one or more other processes to complete an operation. This pap...
