Synchronizing Many Filesystems in Near Linear Time

Finding a provably correct subquadratic synchronization algorithm for many filesystem replicas is one of the main theoretical problems in operational transformation (OT) and conflict-free replicated data types (CRDT) frameworks. Based on algebraic theory filesystems, which incorporates non-commutative commands natively, we developed built proof-of-concept implementation an suite synchronizes arbitrary number replicas. The result correct, synchronized system created linear space time after initial sorting phase. It works by identifying conflicting command pairs requesting to be removed. method can guided reach any theoretically possible states. also allows asynchronous usage. After client sends request, local replica remains available further modifications. When instructions arrive, they merged with changes made since request. filesystems directed acyclic graph-based path structure place traditional tree-like arrangement. Consequently, our algorithms apply hard or soft links as long create no loops.
