Explore a cutting-edge lecture on building distributed storage systems that offer both strong consistency and high performance. Delve into the innovative approach of deferring consistency enforcement until state becomes externally visible. Discover two novel systems: Skyros, a replication protocol exploiting storage-interface properties to reduce coordination latency, and consistency-aware durability (CAD), a new primitive enabling stronger consistency by shifting durability from writes to reads. Learn how these advancements address the traditional trade-off between consistency and performance in modern computer systems. Gain insights from Aishwarya Ganesan, a postdoctoral researcher at VMware Research, as she shares her award-winning work in distributed and storage systems.
