Multi-dimensional Grid Quorum Consensus for High Capacity and Availability in a Replica Control Protocol

  • Conference paper
High Performance Architecture and Grid Computing (HPAGC 2011)

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 169))

Abstract

In distributed systems it is often necessary to provide coordination among the multiple concurrent processes to tolerate the contention, periods of asynchrony and a number of failures. Quorum systems provide a decentralized approach for such coordination. In this paper, we propose a replica control protocol by using a Multi-dimensional-grid-quorum-consensus, which is the generalization of a read-one-write-all (ROWA) protocol, Grid quorum consensus protocol and D-Space quorum consensus protocol. Provides very high read availability and read capacity while maintaining the reconfigurable levels of write availability and fault tolerance.
