Question 1

What does clock skew measure?

  • The rate of clock deviation over time
  • The difference between two clocks at a moment
  • The total time an operation takes

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Think about what 'skew' means in terms of alignment.

Question 2

True or False: The Chandy-Lamport algorithm requires system halting to capture a consistent global state.

  • True
  • False

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Consider how this algorithm's process differs from traditional methods.
