2025年9月17日 · Vector clocks have several important use cases in distributed systems, particularly in scenarios where tracking the order of events and understanding causality is critical.

A vector clock is a data structure used for determining the partial ordering of events in a distributed system and detecting causality violations. Just as in Lamport timestamps, inter …

Vector clock: Introduction One integer can’t order events in more than one process So, a Vector Clock (VC) is a vector of integers, one entry for each process in the entire distributed system …

2025年6月11日 · Discover the role of vector clocks in ensuring data consistency and integrity in distributed systems, and learn how to implement them effectively.

What are Vector Clocks? Unlike scalar timestamps which assign a single, monotonically increasing value to each event, a vector clock assigns a vector of integers. Each element in …

2025年5月17日 · Understand Vector Clocks in distributed systems: how they track causality, maintain event ordering, and resolve conflicts. Learn their structure, use cases, pros, …

2025年8月6日 · 分布式系统-向量时钟 (Vector Clock) Leslie Lamport的论文中《Time, Clocks and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System》首次提出了逻辑时钟的概念，解决了分布式系 …

2025年7月23日 · Vector clocks let you see which values are stale or concurrent (were written at the same “logical” time), so your system stays correct even as the network gets messy.

2025年2月22日 · Welcome to the 6th episode of the System Design Weekly! In this week’s edition, we talk about an interesting topic called Logical Clocks. Clocks and timestamps are …

Vector clocks are used to establish the partial ordering of events in a distributed system, enabling users to determine the flow of potential causality in a system.
