Chapter - 5 Synchronization: Distributed System 3 - 1

This chapter discusses synchronization in distributed systems, including clock synchronization algorithms to coordinate physical clocks across systems, logical clocks and timestamps to sequence events, maintaining a global state, concurrency control for distributed transactions, election algorithms, mutual exclusion algorithms, and the challenges of synchronization in distributed systems compared to centralized systems. It outlines that clock synchronization is important to control access to shared resources and agree on the ordering of events, but is more difficult across distributed systems than in single processor systems.

Distributed System 3-1


CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
In a centralized system time is unambiguous
When a process wants to know the time, it makes a system call and
the kernel tells it
Why Synchronize?
Often important to control access to a single, shared resource.
Also often important to agree on the ordering of events.
Synchronization in Distributed Systems is much more difficult than
in uniprocessor systems.
