Initialization and integration Sample Clauses

Initialization and integration. Initialization can be obtained without changing the algorithm. Processors initializing the system send hstart, 0, ni messages. Since no virtual clock is yet started, acknowledg- ment messages carry a null value in the virtual reception time eld, that is, they are in the form hcandidate, 0, n; 0i or hack, 0, n; 0i (needless to say, the computed adjustment Ji;n will always be 0). The rst virtual clock will then be started as soon as there are enough correct processors in the system.
