Matchmaker Paxos: A Reconfigurable Consensus Protocol [Technical Report]

Michael Whittaker, Neil Giridharan, Adriana Szekeres +4

State machine replication protocols, like MultiPaxos and Raft, are at the heart of nearly every strongly consistent distributed database. To tolerate machine failures, these protoc…

Paxos vs Raft: Have we reached consensus on distributed consensus?

Heidi Howard, Richard Mortier

Distributed consensus is a fundamental primitive for constructing fault-tolerant, strongly-consistent distributed systems. Though many distributed consensus algorithms have been pr…

A Generalised Solution to Distributed Consensus

Heidi Howard, Richard Mortier

Distributed consensus, the ability to reach agreement in the face of failures and asynchrony, is a fundamental primitive for constructing reliable distributed systems from unreliab…

Flexible Paxos: Quorum intersection revisited

Heidi Howard, Dahlia Malkhi, Alexander Spiegelman

Distributed consensus is integral to modern distributed systems. The widely adopted Paxos algorithm uses two phases, each requiring majority agreement, to reliably reach consensus.…

Personal Data: Thinking Inside the Box

Hamed Haddadi, Heidi Howard, Amir Chaudhry +3

We propose there is a need for a technical platform enabling people to engage with the collection, management and consumption of personal data; and that this platform should itself…
