Replication and Consensus Algorithm in Distributed Systems

Replication and Consensus Algorithm in Distributed Systems

Replication is an important step towards incraesing reliability and performnace . The replica servers are replicated state machines ( identical coppies of each other) which compute the same state .operate as deterministic, each computes the same state and the same sequence of outputs However replication often this leads to inconsistecy if the conflicting operatoions are not carried out in the…

Graph theory and Algorithms

Lets discuss Trees which represent structural relationship in data and are used to represent hierarchies . Tree node struct TreeNode { Object element ; TreeNode * firstChild ; TreeNode * nextSibling ; }; Tree height – (longest root-to-leaf path int height(Tree root) { if (root == null) return 0; else { return 1 + Math.max(height(root.left),height(root.right)); } } Complexity : intutively if…

Agorithms, Design and Analysis

This catagory discusses basics of asymptotic analysis, data structures, and graph search. As tech grows and computer are becomes faster with Moores’s Law and evvolution of quantum computing , it is even worth the time and effort to analyze algorithms since all problematic sizes will just be negligibly small and solvable on super fast computers. However on the contrary as Computers grow faster…
