Abstract

Until recently, there have been no efforts of devising energy-efficient replication protocols for large-scale distributed systems. In this paper, we introduce an approach that reduces the energy cost of a particular tree-structured replication protocol. We show that, by shutting down some replicas and by a simple logical structural transformation (rearrangement), our approach achieves comparable characteristics as the original protocol, yet with much reduced energy cost as well as overall energy consumption. The logical transformation does not necessitate the reconfiguration of the protocol whenever energy efficiency requirements change.
