Brief Announcement: A Tight Lower Bound for Clock Synchronization in Odd-Ary M-Toroids

Authors: Reginald Frank and Jennifer L. Welch

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 121, 32nd International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2018)


Abstract
In this paper we show a tight closed-form expression for the optimal clock synchronization in k-ary m-cubes with wraparound, where k is odd. This is done by proving a lower bound of 1/4um (k-1/k), where k is the (odd) number of processes in each of the m dimensions, and u is the uncertainty in delay on every link. Our lower bound matches the previously known upper bound.
