Using Remote Memory Communication for Self-Healing Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a novel self-healing approach for a computer system based on Back-Doors (BD), a system architecture that allows monitoring and repair actions to be performed on a remote operating system or application image without using remote CPU cycles. The key ingredient of the Back-Door architecture is the Remote Memory Communication (RMC) technology provided by standards like Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) or InfiniBand, specifically its support for remote DMA read and write operations. In this paper, we discuss the potential and challenges of the Back-Door approach to self-healing, and describe a preliminary prototype we developed as proof of concept.

Nonintrusive Remote Healing Using Backdoors
In this paper, we propose a remote healing approach for computer systems based on backdoors, a system architecture that supports monitoring and repair actions on a remote operating system or application memory image without using the processors of the target machine. A backdoor can be implemented using the remote memory communication technology provided by communication standards like Virtual I...
متن کاملSelf-healing in payment switches with a focus on failure detection using State Ma- chine-based approaches
Composition, change and complexity have attracted ev- eryone’s attention towards Self-Adaptive systems. These systems, inspired by the human body, are capable of adapting to changes in the inner and outer environment. The main objective of this study is to achieve a more con- venient availability for e-banking services in the payment switch, using self-healing systems and focusing on the failur...

متن کاملThe Design of Advanced Communication to Reduce Memory Usage for Exa-scale Systems
Current MPI (Message Passing Interface) communication libraries require larger memories in proportion of the number of processes, and can not be used for exa-scale systems. This paper proposes a global memory based communication design to reduce memory usage for exascale communication. To realize exa-scale communication, we propose true global memory based communication primitives called Advanc...
متن کاملNonintrusive Failure Detection and Recovery for Internet Services Using Backdoors
We describe an architecture for nonintrusive failure detection and recovery in a cluster of Internet servers in which nodes mutually monitor their liveness and recover client sessions from failed nodes. The system is based on Backdoors, a novel architectural approach for remote healing of computer systems. Backdoors enables monitoring and recovery/repair of state in a computer system by remote ...
