Abstract
Cornell University is developing three new systems to help application programmers design and build trustworthy, scalable software for modern service-oriented data centers. Two are communications technologies: Quicksilver (a scalable publish-subscribe and event notification layer) and Ricochet (a new reliable multicast protocol with outstanding time-critical delivery properties). Both are working; Ricochet is already available for public user and Quicksilver will soon be released. Tempest, a platform that uses Ricochet and Quicksilver to automate many of the most difficult tasks confronting the data center service developer, will be available by mid-2006. Innovations include a novel new lateral error correction technology, a predictive algorithm for ultra-high-speed multicast ordering, and a completely new multicast protocol architecture that scales extremely well in numbers of communication groups, machines using the system, and other metrics.
