Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Laurel wants to design a distributed algorithm similar to Chandy-Lamport but aims to improve performance by reducing message overhead. Propose a strategy to achieve this.

💡 Hint: Consider how to minimize the number of messages without sacrificing consistency.

Question 2

Evaluate the practicality of implementing the Chandy-Lamport algorithm in a highly dynamic system where processes frequently join or leave.

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of changing states within the algorithm’s structure.
