Ring-Paxos: A High-Throughput Atomic Broadcast Protocol

Google Tech Talk (more below)
March 3, 2011

Presented by Prof. Fernando Pedone, University of Lugano.

ABSTRACT

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 works have discussed how to turn these algorithms into efficient executable protocols. Our main contribution, Ring Paxos, is a protocol derived from Paxos. Ring Paxos inherits the reliability of Paxos and can be implemented very efficiently. We report a detailed performance analysis of Ring Paxos and compare it to other atomic broadcast protocols. Ring Paxos can deliver nearly 1 Gbps of data to tens of servers in a local-area network. Ring Paxos is available as open source.

It is a shame about the clicks, but still interesting.

Bad audio!

I signed in to repeat the previous comment. This is all but unwatchable with the poor recording quality and that incessant clicking.

What the hell is that clicking?? I love Google Techtalks and have learned a lot from them but they really need to have some prof standards for recording these talks.
