Graham: Synchronizing Clocks by Leveraging Local Clock Properties
High performance, strongly consistent applications are beginning to require scalable sub-microsecond clock synchronization. State-of-the-art clock synchronization focuses on improving accuracy or frequency of synchronization, ignoring the properties of the local clock: lost of connectivity to the remote clock means synchronization failure.

Our system, Graham, leverages the fact that the local clock still keeps time even when connectivity is … ⌘ Read more
