Optimality and Trade-offs in Fast BFT SMR (Extended Version)
Neil Giridharan, Minh Tung Nguyen, Ittai Abraham +3
Fast state-machine replication (SMR) protocols in the crash-fault setting have attracted significant interest in both academia and industry. This interest stems from their advantag…
Hermes: Low Tail-Latency Via Prefix Consensus
Alejandro Ranchal-Pedrosa, Dakai Kang, Neil Giridharan +3
Leader-based BFT protocols finalize through their leaders: a view whose leader is crashed or slow finalizes nothing, and the timeout that ends it admits no good setting. A conserva…
Ambulance: saving BFT through racing
Neil Giridharan, Shubham Mishra, Lorenzo Alvisi +5
Today's practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) state machine replication deployments are vulnerable to slowdowns. The main culprit is timeouts. Aggressive timeouts spuriously tri…
Real Life Is Uncertain. Consensus Should Be Too!
Reginald Frank, Soujanya Ponnapalli, Octavio Lomeli +3
Modern distributed systems rely on consensus protocols to build a fault-tolerant-core upon which they can build applications. Consensus protocols are correct under a specific failu…
Pirateship: Append-Only Ledgers for (Mostly) Trusted Execution Environments
Shubham Mishra, João Gonçalves, Chawinphat Tankuranand +4
Distributed ledgers are increasingly relied upon by industry to provide trustworthy accountability, strong integrity protection, and high availability for critical data without cen…
It's not a lie if you don't get caught: simplifying reconfiguration in SMR through dirty logs
Allen Clement, Natacha Crooks, Neil Giridharan +1
Production state-machine replication (SMR) implementations are complex, multi-layered architectures comprising data dissemination, ordering, execution, and reconfiguration componen…
