Low overhead alternatives to SSS∗

Low Overhead Alternatives to SSS

Of the many minimax algorithms, SSS* is noteworthy because it usually searches the smallest game trees. Its success can be attributed to the accumulation and use of information acquired while traversing the tree. The main disadvantages of SSS* are its high storage needs and management costs. This paper describes a class of methods, based on the popular alpha-beta algorithm, that acquire and use...

Low-Overhead Accrual Failure Detector

Failure detectors are one of the fundamental components for building a distributed system with high availability. In order to maintain the efficiency and scalability of failure detection in a complicated large-scale distributed system, accrual failure detectors that can adapt to multiple applications have been studied extensively. In this paper, an new accrual failure detector--LA-FD with low s...

Low Overhead File Synchronization Mechanism

Traditional file synchronization programs have difficulties in handling lots of metadata information when the file is transferred to the server. In this paper, we propose a practical approach for minimizing metadata exchanging overhead on the file synchronization system. The key idea of this paper is to adapt hash key compression technique that computes new hash key with several hash keys.
