Review: Exploiting a Natural Network Effect for Scalable, Finegrained Clock Synchronization

Read Original

This article reviews the 'Huygens' protocol, a research collaboration from Stanford and Google. It explains how Huygens achieves nanosecond-scale clock synchronization in ordinary data centers using coded probes, Support Vector Machines to filter 'pure' data, and a network effect for error correction, overcoming the limitations of NTP for low-latency distributed systems.
