Perfect failure detection with very few bits

Abstract: A failure detector is a distributed oracle that provides each process with a module that continuously outputs an estimate of which processes in the system have failed. The perfect failure detector provides accurate and eventually complete information about process failures. We show that, in asynchronous failure-prone message-passing systems, perfect failure detection can be achieved by an oracle that outputs at most ⌈log α(n)⌉ + 1 bits per process in n-process systems, where α denotes the inverse-Ackermann fun… Show more

“…Finally, verification mechanisms a la proof-labeling schemes were used in other contexts, including the congested clique [27], wait-free computing [20], failure detectors [21], anonymous networks [17], and mobile computing [7,19]. For more references to work related to distributed verification, or distributed decision in general, see the survey [14].…”

“…Unlike our algorithm, the message sizes in their algorithms are unbounded. Papers [8] and [3] do failure detection using bounded sized messages, but unlike our work, they assume that the underlying communication channels are reliable. Our contribution in this paper is a little of both.…”
