Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Lamport clocks number events so that if A happened before B, A's number is smaller. The converse is not true. That one direction is the whole idea. |
| Who may write | Leslie Lamport |
| What is settled | The relation is potential causality, not wall time. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Equal numbers do not mean the events were concurrent. The converse failure is the point. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public paper. Not a copy, not a benchmark, and not a claim about any later network. |
