Abstract
A barrier synchronization technique in a distributed computing environment. A group of members, including a plurality of related processes executing on one or more processors of the distributed computing environment, is provided a protocol having a dynamic number of synchronization phases. The protocol is voted on by one or more members of the group to determine how the protocol should proceed for the group of members. The protocol may complete successfully, continue to another synchronization phase or be rejected. The group of members determines how many synchronization phases the protocol is to include.
