Unreliable failure detectors are a well known means to enrich asynchronous distributed systems with time-free semantics that allow to solve consensus in the presence of crash failu...
— We present a novel hardware mechanism for dynamic program phase detection in distributed sharedmemory (DSM) multiprocessors. We show that successful hardware mechanisms for pha...
An important problem in the ®eld of distributed systems is that of detecting the termination of a distributed computation. Distributed termination detection (DTD) is a dicult p...
Policies are used to describe rules that are employed to modify (often distributed) system behaviour at runtime. Typically policies are created by many different people and there a...
