Caltech scientists have found a fast and efficient way to add up large numbers of Feynman diagrams, the simple drawings ...

Existing research has been concentrated on improving the reliability of a distributed computing system through optimizing tasks allocation, providing software redundancy and providing hardware ...

In large-scale parallel computing systems, machines and the network suffer from non-negligible faults, often leading to system crashes. The traditional method to increase reliability is to restart the ...

I quickly wrote a short note pointing this out and correcting the algorithm. It didn’t take me long to realize that an algorithm for totally ordering events could be used to implement any distributed ...
