Leslie Lamport, winner of the Association for Computing Machinery's A.M. Turing Award, discuses his classic paper "Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System." He explains the paper's connection to special relativity and his unusual approach of treating mutual exclusion as a physics problem. This clip is taken from an interview conducted with Lamport by Roy Levin for the ACM and Computer History Museum on August 12, 2016 in Mountain View, CA. Video of the full interview is available as part of Lamport’s ACM profile at amturing.acm.org/award_winner....

Thank you Sir for providing the logical timestamps to track happens-before relationships... I am student of M.Tech and going through your findings and it's very interesting to read this... I hope you also come with a global clock... :-)

hi should i study mathematics instead of programming to be best computer scientist ?

@@shankar4510 For me, the highest amount of math for me was pre-calculus, statistics, and discrete math 1 and 2. WIth Computer science, programming is a part of the curriculum automatically and at least that is how it was for my degree path at my school. With math, you have to at least have a running knowledge of college algebra. As you know you also don't even have to go to school to become a programmer. It is also not out of the norm for people to have a double major in computer science and mathematics. It all depends on what you want to do in the computer science field. I am a graduate student that has never taken calculus 1 or 2.

My teacher linked me this, I need to write a 200 - 300 word paragraph on this Lamport guy for my homework. I watched this video for about, i dunno, until he said roughly 200-300 words, then I stopped :)
