Abstract:Distributed algorithms that operate in the fail-recovery model rely on the state stored in stable memory to guarantee the irreversibility of operations even in the presence of failures. The performance of these algorithms lean heavily on the performance of stable memory. Current storage technologies have a defined performance profile: data is accessed in blocks of hundreds or thousands of bytes, random access to these blocks is expensive and sequential access is somewhat better. File system implementations hid… Show more
