Robustness to Crash in a Distributed Database: A Non Shared-Memory Multi-Processor Approach

Summary: Reframes crash semantics and recovery for distributed, non-shared-memory multiprocessors, where independent processor memories invalidate traditional system-crash assumptions. Exploits surviving memories to recover from failures without full system restart in many cases. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
