Timeouts. A similar phenomenon can be observed if timeouts are used without global coor- dination. If the timeout is based on a local clock then the above entry “local information” applies. But even if an ideal global time service is available some servers will decide locally to timeout and others will not because of slightly different processing speeds. • Dynamic scheduling decisions: Minimal processing speed differences of servers may lead to diverging scheduling decisions—even if the decision is based on global information. At the hardware level for example an asynchronous DMA-transfer may be scheduled immediately on one server but is delayed on another server, because its last instruction was not completed. [...] There are additional items that (while may be implied) are not explicitly stated in Xxxxxxx’x list. These include the following. •
