Epidemic algorithms for replicated database maintenance
Alan J. Demers,Daniel H. Greene,Carl Houser,Wes Irish,John Larson,Scott Shenker,Howard E. Sturgis,Dan Swinehart,Douglas B. Terry +8 more
TL;DR: Several randomized algorithms for distributing updates and driving the replicas toward consistency are described, solving long-standing problems of high traffic and database inconsistency.
Crash Recovery in a Distributed Data Storage System
TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm for reliable storage of data in a distributed system, even when different portions of the data base, stored on separate machines, are updated as part of a single transaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reflections on an operating system design
TL;DR: The main features of a general purpose multiaccess operating system developed for the CDC 6400 at Berkeley are presented, and its good and bad points are discussed as they appear in retrospect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Issues in the design and use of a distributed file system
TL;DR: The DFS provides an unconventional locking mechanism between transactions that supports client caches and eliminates a novel form of deadly embrace and is implemented and put into service.
