PWL #64: Lamport Time Clocks

Details
• What we'll do
Main Event: David Murray will present 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.
