Stoppable Paxos

چکیده
A stoppable state machine is one whose execution can be terminated by a special stopping command. Stoppable state machines can be used to implement reconfiguration in a replicated state machine; a reconfigurable state machine is implemented by a sequence of stoppable state machines, each running in a fixed configuration. Stoppable Paxos, a variant of the ordinary Paxos algorithm, implements a replicated stoppable state machine.

HT-Ring Paxos: Theory of High Throughput State-Machine Replication for Clustered Data Centers
Implementations of state-machine replication (SMR) prevalently use the variants of Paxos. Some of the recent variants of Paxos like, Ring Paxos, Multi-Ring Paxos, S-Paxos and HT-Paxos achieve significantly high throughput. However, to meet the growing demand of high throughput, we are proposing HT-Ring Paxos, a variant of Paxos that is basically derived from the classical Paxos. Moreover, it al...
متن کاملRing Paxos: High-Throughput Atomic Broadcast†
Atomic broadcast is an important communication primitive often used to implement state-machine replication. Despite the large number of atomic broadcast algorithms proposed in the literature, few papers have discussed how to turn these algorithms into efficient executable protocols. This paper focuses on a class of atomic broadcast algorithms based on Paxos, with its corresponding desirable pro...
متن کاملThe Performance of Paxos and Fast Paxos
Paxos and Fast Paxos are optimal consensus algorithms that are simple and elegant, while suitable for efficient implementation. In this paper, we compare the performance of both algorithms in failure-free and failure-prone runs using Treplica, a general replication toolkit that implements these algorithms in a modular and efficient manner. We have found that Paxos outperforms Fast Paxos for sma...
متن کاملHT-Paxos: High Throughput State-Machine Replication Protocol for Large Clustered Data Centers
Paxos is a prominent theory of state-machine replication. Recent data intensive systems that implement state-machine replication generally require high throughput. Earlier versions of Paxos as few of them are classical Paxos, fast Paxos, and generalized Paxos have a major focus on fault tolerance and latency but lacking in terms of throughput and scalability. A major reason for this is the heav...
متن کاملClassic Paxos vs. Fast Paxos: Caveat Emptor
Classic Paxos and Fast Paxos are two protocols that are the core of efficient implementations of replicated state machines. In runs with no failures and no conflicts, Fast Paxos requires fewer communication steps for learners to learn of a request compared to Classic Paxos. However, there are realistic scenarios in which Classic Paxos has a significant probability of having a lower latency. Thi...
