WPaxos: Ruling the Archipelago with Fast Consensus

WPaxos is a multileader Paxos protocol that provides low-latency and high-throughput consensus across widearea network (WAN) deployments. Unlike statically partitioned multiple Paxos deployments, WPaxos perpetually adapts to the changing access locality through object stealing. Multiple concurrent leaders coinciding in different zones steal ownership of objects from each other using phase-1 of ...

Super-Fast 3-Ruling Sets

A t-ruling set of a graph G = (V,E) is a vertex-subset S ⊆ V that is independent and satisfies the property that every vertex v ∈ V is at a distance of at most t from some vertex in S. A maximal independent set (MIS) is a 1-ruling set. The problem of computing an MIS on a network is a fundamental problem in distributed algorithms and the fastest algorithm for this problem is the O(logn)-round a...
