Talk:Vector clock

great article ;)

German version

It'd be great if somebody who speaks German could try and synchronise the two articles, the German one seems much more complete.

Lamport Timestamps article says "[timestamps] provide a starting point for the more advanced Vector clock method."

but article doesn't say in what way these are more advanced, nor what there advantages are relative to plain timestamps. Could someone elaborate? Thanks 92.29.175.136 (talk) 19:24, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

+1 please elaborate on that point —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.80.39.42 (talk) 12:45, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Request

Could someone please rephrase Each time a process receives a message, it increments its own logical clock in the vector by one and updates each element in its vector by taking the maximum of the value in its own vector clock and the value in the vector in the received message (for every element). - I find it confusing and perhaps in conflict with how I interpret the SVG diagram.
