System noise or Jitter is the activity of hardware, firmware, operating system, runtime system, and management software events. It is shown to disproportionately impact application performance in current generation large-scale clustered systems running general-purpose operating systems (GPOS). Jitter mitigation techniques such as co-scheduling jitter events across operating systems improve application...
This paper addresses the problem of how to adapt an algorithm designed for fixed topology networks to produce the intended results, when run in a network whose topology changes dynamically, in spite of encountering topological changes during its execution. We present a simple and unified procedure, called a reset procedure, which, when combined with the static algorithm, achieves this adaptation....
The deadlock resolution problem can be informally stated as follows. There exists a set of actions, generated at different times, with some complex and contradictory precedence constraints between their executions. To resolve a deadlock, some of the actions need to be aborted; this enables to execute the remaining ones. This problem naturally arises in the context of distributed systems, e.g. communication...
A model is defined in which questions concerning delay bounded asynchronous parallel systems may be investigated. Persistence and determinacy are introduced for this model. These two conditions are shown to be sufficient to guarantee that a synchronous execution policy can be relaxed to an asynchronous execution policy with no change to the result of the computation. In addition, the asynchronous...
