Time-lapse snapshots
Abstract
The notion of a weak snapshot scan is introduced and a methodology for using this abstraction is proposed. Two examples of algorithms are presented whose performance is enhanced while retaining a simple modular structure: bounded concurrent time-stamping and bounded randomized consensus. The resulting time-stamping protocol dominates all other currently known time-stamping protocols.
