A gossip-based approach to exascale system services
Philip Soltero, Patrick G. Bridges, Dorian C. Arnold, Michael Lang · 2013
Large-scale server deployments in the commercial internet space have been using group based protocols such as peer-to-peer and gossip to allow coordination of services and data across global distributed data centers. Here we look at applying these methods, which are themselves derived from early work in distributed systems, to large-scale, tightly-coupled systems used in high performance computing.
