An efficient failure-resilient mutual exclusion algorithm for distributed systems leveraging a novel zero-message overlay structure by Mouna Rabhi (17086969)

“…An extensive simulation study demonstrates the viability and efficiency of the proposed algorithm under various node failure models, and relevant metrics (e.g., node queue dimension, number of exchanged messages, and number of disconnected nodes) indicate a graceful degradation in performance with decreasing number of functioning nodes. For instance, for 4,096 nodes organized in a logical tree of arity 4 and with 4 physical nodes for logical node, a negligible number of nodes is disconnected from the tree after 250 epochs when the per-node per-epoch failure probability is p f ≤ 0 . 0008 . …”
