In Search of a Scalable Geo-Distributed Consensus Protocol
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-20)Byzantine fault tolerant consensus protocols are a crucial component in blockchain systems. Traditional BFT consensus protocols have poor scalability, and their performance is sensitive to the latency between their ... -
On the Importance of Infrastructure-Awareness in Large-Scale Distributed Storage Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-08)Big data applications put significant latency and throughput demands on distributed storage systems. Meeting these demands requires storage systems to use a significant amount of infrastructure resources, such as network ... -
Reducing the Latency of Dependent Operations in Large-Scale Geo-Distributed Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-14)Many applications rely on large-scale distributed systems for data management and computation. These distributed systems are complex and built from different networked services. Dependencies between these services can ... -
Sift: Achieving Resource-Efficient Consensus with RDMA
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)Sift is a new consensus protocol for replicating state machines. It disaggregates CPU and memory consumption by creating a novel system architecture enabled by one-sided RDMA operations. We show that this system architecture ... -
Towards A Workload-Driven Flow Scheduler For Modern Datacenters
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-05)Modern datacenters run different applications with various communication requirements in terms of bandwidth and deadlines. Of particular interest are deadlines that are driving web-search workloads e.g. when submitting ...
