5 Questions
What is the implication of having no global physical clocks in a distributed system?
Time becomes a challenge in distributed systems.
Explain the concept of autonomous processors in a distributed system.
Each node has its own memory, processor, and operating system.
Why is there no global shared common memory in distributed systems?
Distributed systems don't have a central memory space accessible by all processes simultaneously.
What are channels and links used for in distributed systems?
Channels and links are communication pathways for message transmission between processes.
Why do distributed systems often consist of diverse hardware and software components?
Distributed systems are heterogeneous, consisting of diverse hardware and software components.
Explore the various challenges faced by physical clocks in distributed systems such as drift, geographical dispersion, and limited causality. Learn how logical clocks help establish causal relationships between events regardless of physical time constraints.
