Distributed quantum computing

Vasil S. Denchev, Gopal Pandurangan • ACM SIGACT News (2008)

Quantum computing and distributed systems may enter a mutually beneficial partnership in the future. On the one hand, it is much easier to build a number of small quantum computers rather than a single large one. On the other hand, the best...

A Compendium on Distributed Systems

Aneesh Khole, Atharva Thakar, Avadhoot Kulkarni, Hrithik Jadhav et al. • arXiv (Cornell University) (2023)

Computer systems have evolved over the years starting from sizable, single-user, slow, and expensive machines to multi-user, fast, cheaper, and small-sized machines. The use of multi-user computer networks has given rise to a new paradigm o...

Clock synchronization in distributed systems

C. A. Latha, H.L. Shashidhara • IEEE International Conference on Industrial and Information Systems (ICIIS) (2010)

Clock inaccuracies cause serious problems and troublesome in distributed systems. The clocks of different processors need to be synchronized to limit errors. This is to have an efficient communication or resource sharing. Hence the clocks n...

Mesh partitioning for distributed systems

Jian Chen, Valerie Taylor • ACM International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC) (2002)

Distributed systems, which consist of a collection of high performance systems interconnected via high performance networks (e.g. ATM), are becoming feasible platforms for execution of large-scale, complex problems. We address various issue...

Concurrent robust checkpointing and recovery in distributed systems

Pei-Jyun Leu, Bharat Bhargava • IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE) (2003)

A checkpoint/rollback algorithm is presented for multiple processes in a distributed system that uses message passing for communication. Each process in the system can initiate the algorithm autonomously. If only one instance of the algorit...

Effective Concurrency Testing for Distributed Systems

Xinhao Yuan, Junfeng Yang • International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS) (2020)

Despite their wide deployment, distributed systems remain notoriously hard to reason about. Unexpected interleavings of concurrent operations and failures may lead to undefined behaviors and cause serious consequences. We present Morpheus, ...

Endorsements, licensing, and insurance for distributed system services

Gennady Medvinsky, Charlie Lai, Clifford Neuman • ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) (1994)

Clients in a distributed system place their confidence in many servers, and servers themselves rely on other servers for file storage, authentication, authorization, and payment. When a system spans administrative boundaries it becomes hard...
