Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A system employing data replication is structured as a two-level logical hierarchy. Replicas at level 0 maintain strong consistency, while those at level 1 may contain out-of-date information. Accesses which change the data have to be executed at level 0, and require an appropriate quorum of replicas. Read requests may be executed either at level 0 or at level 1, depending on whether the most recent information is required or not. A read quorum is necessary in the former case, but not in the latter. The performance and reliability characteristics of the system are evaluated by means of two models-one with reliable servers and one with random breakdowns and repairs.
