Fung Institute, MEng Capstone Pitch: High Availability on a Distributed Real Time Processing System
Channel: Enrico Tanuwidjaja
Date: 21/04/2015

Has a phone map ever helped you navigate around busy traffic? Have you ever tracked real-time scores of sports games online? These applications are made possible by thousands of machines working together to keep information up to date. But as more machines are used, it is increasingly likely that one of them will crash. Our project investigates a method that tolerates a number of machines crashing simultaneously without delaying updates. We apply this method to an open source project, resulting in a robust system that allows applications to run smoothly at all times.
