File Synchronization with Vector Time Pairs
نویسنده
چکیده
Vector time pairs are a new method for tracking synchronization metadata. A vector time pair consists of two vector times: one tracking file modification history and one tracking file synchronization history. Because the vector times are maintained separately and used for different purposes, different algorithms and optimizations can be applied to each. As a result, vector time pairs impose no restriction on synchronization patterns, never falsely detect conflicts, require no space to store deletion notices, require network bandwidth proportional only to the number of files changed, and support partial synchronizations. No other current synchronization method has all these properties. Results from an implementation of vector time pairs in a new user-level file synchronizer called Tra confirm the benefits of vector time pairs.

متن کاملSynchronization for Complex Dynamic Networks with State and Coupling Time-Delays
This paper is concerned with the problem of synchronization for complex dynamic networks with state and coupling time-delays. Therefore, larger class and more complicated complex dynamic networks can be considered for the synchronization problem. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a delay-independent criterion is obtained and formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs)...
متن کاملGlobal synchronization on the circle ⋆
The convexity arguments used in the consensus literature to prove synchronization in vector spaces can be applied to the circle only when all agents are initially located on a semicircle. Existing strategies for (almost-)global synchronization on the circle are either restricted to specific interconnection topologies or use auxiliary variables. The present paper first illustrates this problem b...
متن کاملFinite Time Mix Synchronization of Delay Fractional-Order Chaotic Systems
Chaos synchronization of coupled fractional order differential equation is receiving increasing attention because of its potential applications in secure communications and control processing. The aim of this paper is synchronization between two identical or different delay fractional-order chaotic systems in finite time. At first, the predictor-corrector method is used to obtain the solutions ...
متن کاملComputer Network Time Synchronization using a Low Cost GPS Engine
Accurate and reliable time is necessary for financial and legal transactions, transportation, distribution systems, and many other applications. Time synchronization protocols such as NTP (the Network Time Protocol) have kept clocks of such applications synchronized to each other for many years. Nowadays there are many commercial GPS based NTP time server products at the market but they almost ...
