Abstract:Distributed systems achieve scalability by distributing load across many machines, but wide-area deployments can introduce worstcase response latencies proportional to the network's diameter. Crux is a general framework to build locality-preserving distributed systems, by transforming an existing scalable distributed algorithm A into a new locality-preserving algorithm A LP , which guarantees for any two clients u and v interacting via A LP that their interactions exhibit worst-case response latencies proporti… Show more
