چکیده

In the problem of k-mutual exclusion, concurrent access to shared resource or the critical section (CS) must be synchronized such that at any time at most k processes can access the CS. In this paper, we propose a generalized grid quorum strategy for k-mutual exclusion, which imposes a logical grid structure on the network. The quorum size is always equal to (M + 1)/(k + 1) × (N + 1)/2 , where M is the number of rows and N is the number of columns in a grid. From our performance study, we show that the generalized grid quorum strategy can provide a good performance in terms of the quorum size and the availability.  2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

A Quorum Based k-Mutual Exclusion by Weighted k-Quorum Systems

In this paper, we propose a scheme for solving the k-mutual exclusion problem in a distributed system, which is a generalization of the quorum based scheme for solving the distributed mutual exclusion problem. The proposed scheme uses a set of weighted quorums as the underlying structure, which can be constructed from any quorum system by applying the technique of k-decomposition. The notion of...

A Framework for Fault-Tolerant Distributed Mutual Exclusion and Replica Control Using Grid Structures

This paper presents a framework for fault-tolerant distributed mutual exclusion and replica control algorithms utilizing overlapping grid quorums, which are sets constructed with the aid of grid structures. There are two components of the framework: the first one concerns generic representation of grid quorums, and the second one, generic verification of the overlapping properties of grid quoru...

A Quorum Based (m, h, k)-Resource Allocation Algorithm

In this paper, we present a quorum based algorithm for (m,h, k)-resource allocation problem, i.e., a conflict resolution problem to control a distributed system consisting of n users and m critical resources so that the following two requirements are satisfied: at any given time, at most h (out of m) resources can be utilized by some users simultaneously and each resource is utilized by at most...

The Load, Capacity, and Availability of Quorum

A quorum system is a collection of sets (quorums) every two of which intersect. Quorum systems have been used for many applications in the area of distributed systems, including mutual exclusion, data replication, and dissemination of information. Given a strategy to pick quorums, the load L(S) is the minimal access probability of the busiest element, minimizing over the strategies. The capacit...
