Sequential Consistency
Causal Consistency
PRAM
Slow Memory - 3What are the classes in Knapp's classification of deadlock detection algorithms?Path-pushing

Diffusing Computation
Global State - 4Why is recording global state complicated in a distributed system?There is typically no shared memory and no shared clock.
- 5Explain the concept of wait-freedom.Wait-freedom is a property that guarantees that any process can complete any synchronous operation in a finite number of steps.
- 6True or False, scalar logical clocks are strongly consistent.FALSE!
- 7True or False, scalar logical clocks can enforce total orderingTrue, but only if we use an additional metric (like the process identifier) to prioritize certain events over others.
- 8Why is causal ordering desirable in a distributed system?It builds synchronization into the system, and eliminates the need to perform additional checks.
