Seminar • Systems and Networking — Consistency and Performance in Distributed Storage Systems
Please note: This seminar will be given online.
Aishwarya Ganesan, Postdoctoral Researcher

The tradeoff between performance and correctness is pervasive across computer systems such as shared-memory multiprocessors, databases, and local file systems. The same tradeoff exists in distributed storage systems as well; designers must often choose consistency or performance but not both. In this talk, I will show how we can build distributed storage systems that provide strong guarantees yet also perform well.
