  2. Distributed algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_algorithm

    A distributed algorithm is an algorithm designed to run on computer hardware constructed from interconnected processors. Distributed algorithms are used in different application areas of distributed computing , such as telecommunications , scientific computing , distributed information processing , and real-time process control .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing

    For example, the Cole–Vishkin algorithm for graph coloring [50] was originally presented as a parallel algorithm, but the same technique can also be used directly as a distributed algorithm. Moreover, a parallel algorithm can be implemented either in a parallel system (using shared memory) or in a distributed system (using message passing ...

  5. Distributed minimum spanning tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_minimum...

    Example of a MST: The minimum spanning tree of a planar graph.Each edge is labeled with its weight, which here is roughly proportional to its length. The distributed minimum spanning tree (MST) problem involves the construction of a minimum spanning tree by a distributed algorithm, in a network where nodes communicate by message passing.

  6. Conflict-free replicated data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated...

    State-based CRDTs (also called convergent replicated data types, or CvRDTs) are defined by two types, a type for local states and a type for actions on the state, together with three functions: A function to produce an initial state, a merge function of states, and a function to apply an action to update a state.

  7. MapReduce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce

    MapReduce is a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating big data sets with a parallel and distributed algorithm on a cluster. [1] [2] [3]A MapReduce program is composed of a map procedure, which performs filtering and sorting (such as sorting students by first name into queues, one queue for each name), and a reduce method, which performs a summary ...

  8. Distributed tree search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_tree_search

    Distributed tree search (DTS) algorithm is a class of algorithms for searching values in an efficient and distributed manner.Their purpose is to iterate through a tree by working along multiple branches in parallel and merging the results of each branch into one common solution, in order to minimize time spent searching for a value in a tree-like data structure.

  9. Lamport timestamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamport_timestamp

    The Lamport timestamp algorithm is a simple logical clock algorithm used to determine the order of events in a distributed computer system.As different nodes or processes will typically not be perfectly synchronized, this algorithm is used to provide a partial ordering of events with minimal overhead, and conceptually provide a starting point for the more advanced vector clock method.
