PWL #64: Lamport Time Clocks

Details • What we ll do Main Event: David Murray will present https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/time-clocks.pdf [https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/time-clocks.pdf] The concept of one event happening before another in a distributed system is examined, and is shown to define a partial ordering of the events. A distributed algorithm is given for synchronizing a system of logical CLOCKS WHICH CAN BE USED TO TOTALLY ORDER THE EVENTS. The use of the total ordering is illustrated with a method for solving synchronization problems. The algorithm is then specialized for synchronizing physical CLOCKS, and a bound is derived on how far out of synchrony the CLOCKS CAN BECOME. https://meet.jit.si/paperswelove [https://meet.jit.si/paperswelove] • Important to knowAs a chapter of Papers We Love we abide by and enforce the PWL Code of Conduct (https://github.com/papers-we-love/seattle/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md [https://github.com/papers-we-love/seattle/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md]) at our events.
