Researchers hunt for weaknesses in large node-based systems. U.S. government computer scientists are studying how computer grids react to volatile conditions to understand how events such as virus ...

System architecture design decisions Coding practices Scalability and capacity planning Performance measurements taken against a distributed computer system are not always consistent.

The Computer Science Department will sponsor a poster session on May 1, 2018 featuring a number of topics, including: distributed applications, games, cryptocurrencies, and network analysis.

By keeping track of this clock as it is updated by various processes across the computer the distributed system can be much more confident about the order in which events took place.

The concept of blockchain technology first appeared in academic papers from 1982, in a dissertation discussing “the design of a distributed computer system that can be established, maintained ...

A consensus mechanism is a system that allows nodes in a distributed computer system (database, blockchain or otherwise) to reach a "consensus" about the correct set of data.

Technologies edge computing and containerisation call for teams capable of building distributed systems.

The problem has urged the development of Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus protocols and algorithms, which are crucial in ensuring the reliability and consistency of distributed systems.

A few synchronous distributed systems were built in the nineteen-seventies and -eighties. NASA, for example, developed a computerized aircraft-control system, which relied on multiple computer ...

Computing An E. coli biocomputer solves a maze by sharing the work Genetically engineered bacteria, rigged up as a distributed computing system, might help realize synthetic biology’s loftier goals.
