[{"status":"public","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"We consider the clock synchronization problem in the (discrete) beeping model: Given a network of $n$ nodes with each node having a clock value $\\delta(v) \\in \\{0,\\ldots T-1\\}$, the goal is to synchronize the clock values of all nodes such that they have the same value in any round.\r\nAs is standard in clock synchronization, we assume \\emph{arbitrary activations} for all nodes, i.e., the nodes start their protocol at an arbitrary round (not limited to $\\{0,\\ldots,T-1\\}$).\r\nWe give an asymptotically optimal algorithm that runs in $4D + \\Bigl\\lfloor \\frac{D}{\\lfloor T/4 \\rfloor} \\Bigr \\rfloor \\cdot (T \\mod 4) = O(D)$ rounds, where $D$ is the diameter of the network.\r\nOnce all nodes are in sync, they beep at the same round every $T$ rounds.\r\nThe algorithm drastically improves on the $O(T D)$-bound of \\cite{firefly_sync} (where $T$ is required to be at least $4n$, so the bound is no better than $O(nD)$).\r\nOur algorithm is very simple as nodes only have to maintain $3$ bits in addition to the $\\lceil \\log T \\rceil$ bits needed to maintain the clock.\r\nFurthermore we investigate the complexity of \\emph{self-stabilizing} solutions for the clock synchronization problem: We first show lower bounds of $\\Omega(\\max\\{T,n\\})$ rounds on the runtime and $\\Omega(\\log(\\max\\{T,n\\}))$ bits of memory required for any such protocol.\r\nAfterwards we present a protocol that runs in $O(\\max\\{T,n\\})$ rounds using at most $O(\\log(\\max\\{T,n\\}))$ bits at each node, which is asymptotically optimal with regards to both, runtime and memory requirements."}],"publication":"Proceedings of the 32nd ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA)","type":"conference","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"79"}],"user_id":"23538","external_id":{"arxiv":["2005.07388"]},"_id":"16903","project":[{"name":"Algorithmen für programmierbare Materie in einem physiologischen Medium","_id":"96"}],"citation":{"short":"M.
