Logical Synchrony and the bittide Mechanism
We introduce logical synchrony, a framework that allows distributed computing to be
coordinated as tightly as in synchronous systems without the distribution of a global clock or …

Logical Synchrony Networks: A formal model for deterministic distribution
In the modelling of distributed systems, most Models of Computation (MoCs) rely on blocking
communication to preserve determinism. A prominent example is Kahn Process Networks …

On buffer centering for bittide synchronization
We discuss distributed reframing control of bittide systems. In a bittide system, multiple
processors synchronize by monitoring communication over the network. Processors remain …

Modeling and Control of bittide Synchronization
Distributed system applications rely on a fine-grain common sense of time. Existing systems
maintain this by keeping each independent machine as close as possible to wall-clock time …
