This document provides an introduction to fault tolerance and atomic broadcast in distributed systems. It discusses the need for reliable services that can tolerate failures. Mutual exclusion algorithms are introduced as a way to ensure only one process accesses shared resources at a time. Atomic broadcast ensures messages are delivered to all processes in the same order, providing an ordering mechanism and ability to tolerate failures. Token-based approaches are commonly used to implement atomic broadcast in asynchronous systems. The document outlines several chapters that will cover token-based mutual exclusion and atomic broadcast algorithms, failure detectors, and a proposed new algorithm.

A fault tolerant tokenbased atomic broadcast algorithm relying on responsive ...Neelamani Samal
This document summarizes a fault tolerant token-based atomic broadcast algorithm that relies on an unreliable failure detector and satisfies the responsive property. The algorithm aims to tolerate processor-level failures in a distributed system. It divides a job into tasks, uses a token to control access to shared resources, and monitors task execution times. If a task does not respond within the timeout period, it is declared faulty and removed from the ready queue. The algorithm was implemented on a multi-core processor to simulate fault tolerance capabilities in a distributed system within a specified time interval.

1.1 Introduction
The requirement for highly reliable and available services has been continuously
increasing in many domains for the last decade. Several approaches for designing fault tolerant
services exist. The focus of this chapter is on software replication. Replication allows a number
of replicas to crash with-out affecting the availability of the service .Systems involving multiple
processes are often most easily programmed using critical regions. When a process has to read
or update certain shared data structures, it first enters a critical region to achieve mutual
exclusion and ensure that no other process will use the shared data structures at the same time.
Mutual exclusion (often abbreviated as mutex) algorithms are used in concurrent
programming to avoid the simultaneous use of a common resource, such as a global variable,
by pieces of computer code called critical sections. A critical section is a piece of code in which
a process or thread accesses a common resource. The critical section by itself is not a
mechanism or algorithm for mutual exclusion. A program, process, or thread can have the
critical section in it without any mechanism or algorithm which implements mutual exclusion.
ATOMIC BROADCAST/ TOTAL ORDER BROADCAST ensures that messages broadcast
by different processes are delivered to all destination processes in the same order in which they
are initiated. Atomic Broadcast enables ORDERING MECHANISM and TOLERATE
FAILURE. In asynchronous system with crash failures two most widely used mechanisms to
tolerate failure in Atomic Broadcast algorithm are 1) Unreliable Failure Detector 2) Group
Membership Function.
An Unreliable Failure Detector does not provide consistent information about the failure
status of processes. A Group membership service provides consistent membership information
to all the members of a group. For example tell a process P that R has crashed, and to process
Q that R is alive, at the same time. The overhead of a wrong failure suspicion is high when
using a group membership. With group membership service, a wrong suspicion can lead to two
costly membership operations: 1) removal of a process followed by 2) The addition of another
process.
With a failure detector, neither the removal nor the addition of process is needed. Atomic
broadcast algorithms based on a failure detector can be used to implement the group
membership service.

1.2 BACKGROUND FOR THIS BOOK
Atomic broadcast (or total order broadcast) is an important abstraction in fault tolerant
distributed computing. Atomic broadcast ensures that messages broadcast by different
processes are delivered by all destination processes in the same order [1]. Fault tolerant
distributed systems are designed to provide reliable and continuous service despite the failure
of some of their components. A basic building block of such systems is the failure detectors
[3]. Atomic broadcast protocols based on tokens need group membership or an equivalent
mechanism. The problem of unavoidable concurrency is greatly reduced byrelying on group
communication primitives that provide higher guarantees thanstandard point-to-point
communication [4].The behavior of faulty com-ponents is important when solving problems in
a distributed system [5]. In Chang and Maxemchuk’s Reliable Broadcast Protocol [10], and its
newer variant [11], an ad-hoc reformation mechanism is called whenever a host fails. A failure
detector provides some information on which processes have crashed. This information
typically given in the form of a list of suspects is not always up to date or correct. A failure
detector may take a long time to start suspecting a process that has crashed and it may
erroneously suspect a process that has not crashed[3]. Group membership is used explicitly in
other atomic broadcast protocols such as Totem [12], the Reliable Multicast Protocol by
Whetten et al. [13] ( [10]), and in [14]. These atomic broadcast protocols also have different
approaches with respect to message broadcasting and delivery. In [10], [13], the moving
sequencer approach is used: any process can broadcast a message at any time. The token holder
then orders the messages that have been broadcast. Other protocols, such as Totem [12] or On-
Demand [14] on the other hand use the privilege based approach, enabling only the token-
holder to broadcast (andsimultaneously order) messages. In [1] only one process is allowed to
broadcast its token at a time to all other processes, maintaining total order broadcast. In these
algorithms, the token is effectively broadcast to all processes, although the token ownership is
passed along the processes on the ring. According to [20] the token is a message, which
contains an FCFS queue, namely token queue, in order to store all pending requests. The token
stores the number of the last completed session in tokensession . Both approaches can be used
in the algorithm presented in this paper. Finally, the different token based atomic broadcast
protocols deliver messages in different ways. In [14], the token
37. 4 | P a g e
holder issues an “update dissemination message” which effectively contains messages and their
global order. A host can deliver a message as soon as it knows that previously ordered messages
havebeen delivered. “Agreed delivery” in the Totem protocol (which corresponds to
adelivering the protocol presented in this paper) is also done in a similar way. On the other
hand, in the Chang-Maxemchuk atomic broadcast protocol [10], a message is only delivered
oncef+ 1sites have received the message. Finally, the Train protocol presented in [15]
transports the ordered messages in a token that is passed among all processes (and is in this
respect related to the token based protocols presented in this paper). Larreaet al. [16] also
consider a logical ring of processes, with a different goal however. They use a ring for an
efficient implementation of the failure detectors 3W, 3Sand 3Pin a partially synchronous
system.Finally, the IEEE 802.4 Standard [2] defines a token-based access control protocol on
top of a bus topology network, essentially implementing total order at the MAC layer.
1.3 MOTIVATION:
Within only a couple of generations, the so called digital revolution has taken the world by
storm: to-day, almost all human beings interact, directly or indirectly, at some point in their
life, with a computer system. As the use of computer systems has increased dramatically over
the past decades, the needs and expectations associated with these systems have also increased.
In the case of critical systems, dependability has always been a major concern, as the price of
a system failure is high, in terms of human lives or economical loss. However, even in the case
of non-critical systems, one of the crucial properties is availability and accuracy.
High availability is achieved in two ways:
(1) By increasing the time a system is up (by avoiding that the system ever goes down) or
(2) By reducing the recovery time in case it is down.
The second approach is difficult or even impossible to apply to critical systems where the
slightest interruption of service is unacceptable.
In the first approach, several system designs are possible. The first design choice is to avoid
system failures (fault avoidance), while the second one is to tolerate and hide failures within
the system (fault tolerance).
38. 5 | P a g e
The second design is however appealing, as it can be implemented by replication: instead of
having a single machine (a replica) providing a service, the system is composed of several
replicas running the service. Thus, if one of the replicas fails, the service is still provided by
the remaining replicas.
1.4. CONTRIBUTION OF THIS BOOK
This book is a contribution to the ongoing research on the different fault tolerant mutual
exclusion algorithms. The research done so far is done on the system level, where a number of
systems are interconnected to a grid network. The existing system needs a number of computers
and a huge backbone of network connection to establish the experimental setup. And the
experimental set up may suffer from any king of unwanted failures that may be the failure of
node or the communication network in either of the case we have to focus more on the
communication network then on the node failure.
Here in this paper we focus on the process level failure in the system, which is a
prototype of the real life communication system. In this paper I am using the existing feature
of the multi-core processor to simulate the behavior of the grid computing environment by
considering a small processor group.
This paper an extension and modification of the Richard Ekwall [1] atomic broadcast
algorithm, which was based on the unreliable failure detector .Here the focus is on the atomic
broadcast of the process which will be using the unreliable failure detector and also satisfying
the responsive property (RP). The quality of service [3] is also maintained in the course of
failure detection process.
The failure is considered to be of crash [4] type. We are preparing a fault tolerant system
which will definitely respond within a specified time limit, otherwise the checking for the
failure or fault in the distributed system will be stopped and the process that does not reacted
or obtained the resource will be declared as faulty and further that process will be removed
from the Quorum. In this paper the main focus is on the tolerance level of the fault as well as
on the atomic broadcast of the token which must be responded by other processes in a specified
time interval.

1.5 Outline of the BOOK
The outline of this book is as follows:
Chapter 2 introduces the types of system and a brief idea about the meaning of fault in the
distributed system and a brief idea on the mutual exclusion algorithm
Chapter 3 discusses the literature review. We present an overview of the existing works: The
atomic broadcast algorithms, The token based Mutex.
Chapter 4 discusses the Responsive property and the use of responsive property in the fault
tolerant system discusses proposed scheme. We present ourapproach of fault tolerant
mechanism which is based on the token based approach as well as satisfying the responsive
property. It also includes some simple simulation to justify the work done.
Chapter 5 finally concludes this work and presents some open problems.
