What’s consistency, if any?

Eventual consistency is a programming model where the current version of a program will deploy until every replica is consistent. Conflicts are resolved through write, read, or asynchronous repair methods. This process is used in optimistic replication, distributed shared memory, and distributed transactions. Eventual consistency is a programming model in which programmers assume that over […]

Cache Consistency: what is it?

Cache consistency is a problem in multiprocessor computers where each processor has its own cache. Directory-based consistency, snooping, and snarfing are methods used to prevent cache consistency loss. Directory-based consistency is slower but practical for large-scale applications, while snooping is faster and suitable for systems with few processors. Snarfing is not commonly used due to […]

What’s data consistency?

Data consistency ensures uniformity of information across a network and applications. There are three types: moment, transaction, and application consistency. Without all three, data can be lost or corrupted. Maintaining consistency is crucial for data integrity and system stability. Data consistency is the process of maintaining uniformity of information as it moves across a network […]
