Abstract

This paper presents an efficient stable logging scheme for the distributed shared memory system based on the lazy release consistent memory model. In the proposed scheme, inter-process dependency is traced and stable logging is performed when the dependency relation between processes actually happens. With the dependency tracking, the proposed scheme requires much less frequency of stable logging, comparing with the previous schemes in which stable logging is performed whenever any information transfer happens between processes. Also, in the proposed scheme, every data item accessed by a process is not logged, but only the access information is logged in the stable storage. For the recovery from a failure, the correct version of the accessed data items can be effectively traced by using the logged access information. As a result, the amount of logged information is also reduced.

본 논문은 잠금 해제 지연 메모리 모델을 기반으로 하는 분산 공유 메모리 시스템을 위한 효과적이고 안전한 로깅 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에서는 프로세스들 사이의 종속 관계가 추적되어, 실제로 종속 관계가 발생하는 경우에만 안전한 로깅을 수행하는데, 이는 프로세스들 사이에 정보 전달이 일어나는 경우 무조건 로깅을 수행하던 기존의 방법들과 비교 해볼 때, 로깅 횟수가 크게 줄어드는 효과를 낸다. 더욱이. 제안된 기법에서는 각 프로세스가 사용한 데이타를 모두 안전한 저장장소에 로깅 하는 대신, 필요한 데이타들은 그 데이타를 생성한 프로세스의 휘발성 메모리에 로깅하고, 그 데이타의 사용 정보만을 로깅 한다. 프로세스내의 결함 발생 후, 복구 과정에서, 각 프로세스는 로깅 된 사용 정보만을 이용하여 알맞은 버전의 데이타를 효과적으로 찾을 수 있다. 결과적으로 각 프로세스에서 저장되는 로그의 양 또한 줄어든다.
