It not only lists the papers I have written, but also describes them and explains how I came to write some of them. I have included almost all my technical papers. Omitted are some papers for which I no …

Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System A distributed sys consists m ofacollection ofdistinct processes which are spatially separat.

Lamport advocates describing algorithms in terms of state machines whose operations are atomic. Invariants, and more generally safety properties, are then established by induction: the invariant …

# Story of the Chandy-Lamport algorithm according to Lamport’s website. # Assumption: a process can record its own state and the msgs. it sends and receives, nothing else! # A process p must enlist the …

Lecture 17 Lamport Clocks and Race Conditions Alan Sussman (with thanks to Chris Ackermann) Notes

Lamport paper discussion What happens when we need to add a process? How can we separate out concurrent events that just happened to have a certain ordering for their times?

This paper will discuss the lamport’s scalar clocks and evaluate its performance. For this, we will vary the number of nodes in the network and observe the message complexity and number of clock updates.
