It is difficult and costly to implement synchronous distributed systems. While replicated systems have provided many types of data consistency over the past 30 years, and a wide variety of consistency models have been explored in the computer science research community, many of these are tied to specific implementations.

In the initial days, computer systems were huge and also very expensive. Our goal is to propose a novel viewpoint to different consistency models utilized in the distributed systems. In distributed systems, additional latency and the possibility of message loss or reordering make strict consistency impossible to guarantee. Unfortunately, the replication of data can compromise its consistency, and thereby break programs that are unaware. Which mechanisms, tech niques and algorithms will help us to this. We focus on consistency models proposed for hardwarebased sharedmemory systems.
Truth is, which kind of consistency level do we need in our system to guarantee convergence. Distributed systems and consistencybecause everything else is easy. Many of these models are originally specified with an emphasis on the system optimizations they allow. However, tradeoffs due to the cap theorem require choosing from a range of models to address different consistency levels, which may vary from a relaxed model to a strict one. The cap theorem implies that in the presence of a network partition, one has to choose between consistency and availability. Types of distributed system distributed computing systems. Consistency in nontransactional distributed storage systems. Relaxed consistency further hides synchronization cost and latency.
Consistency models consistency requirement vary from application to application a consistency model basically refers to the degree of consistency that has to be maintained for the shared memory data defined as a set of rules that application must obey if they want the dsm system to provide the degree of consistency guaranteed by the consistency. Each process that can access data from the store is assumed to have a local or nearby copy available of the entire store. Despite the abundance of research and proposals for numerous consistency models, the commercial distributed database services have not been able to operationalize consistency levels beyond strong and eventual consistency. In this paper, we explore shared memory, memory consistency models and mechanisms for differentiating memory.
If we look at distributed systems today, they lack the uniformity and consistency. Data replication is a common technique for programming distributed systems, and is often important to achieve performance or reliability goals. In the second half, i focus on the main topic, which are consistency models. Principles, algorithms, and systems distributed shared memory abstractions communicate with readwrite ops in shared virtual space no send and receive primitives to be used by application. No distributed system is safe from network failures, thus network. S b release consistency releases exclusive are all accesses acquires future delay issued performed done previous delay til done.

Distributed systems 23 summary of consistency models 1 consistency models not using synchronization operations. The consistency model specifies a contract between programmer and system, wherein the system guarantees that if the programmer follows the rules, memory will be consistent and the results of reading, writing, or updating memory will be predictable.

Consistency in distributed systems microsoft research. A consistency model may be defined as a contract between a data storage system and the data processes that access it, thus defining strategies that support consistency within a distributed data storage system. While in the 80s consistency typically meant strong consistency, later defined also as linearizability, in recent years, with the advent of highly available and scalable systems, the notion of consistency has been at the same time both weakened and blurred.

There has been a great revolution in computer systems. Because of this reason few firms had less number of computers and those systems were operated independently as there was a lack of knowledge to connect them.
