Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Assuming a distributed system has 10 processes, explain a scenario where the LCR algorithm would take longer to achieve leader election compared to the HS algorithm. Provide reasoning.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the number of messages and how the algorithms traverse.

Question 2

Design a simulation for the Bully Algorithm and outline steps it would take upon a leader's failure, considering the responses from other processes.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Ensure each step reflects proper message handling and responses.
