Clock Syncronization Protocol

https://github.com/Rustem/tt
The main deliverable of my master's dissertation is a clock synchronization protocol (CSP) for general-purpose transactions at scale. In designing CSP, we employed a hybrid logical clock, HLC, that leverages the best of logical clocks and physical clocks. HLC is helpful for tracking causality relationships of the overlapping events. To maintain clock offsets among sets of nodes, we utilized Marzullo intersection algorithm. Synchronization of clocks in a network requires comparing them directly or indirectly with respect to differences in time and (possibly) frequency. The approach adopted here is based on variant of Christian's algorithm (Probabilistic clock synchronization).
