About this document
Process Synchronization Techniques by Abraham Shanbel is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses synchronization in distributed systems. It covers clock synchronization to ensure processes agree on time order of events. Physical clocks drift making exact synchronization impossible. The Network Time Protocol and Berkley algorithm are presented to synchronize clocks across systems. Logical clocks assign timestamps to events to define a happens-before relation without relying on physical time. Lamport
