Editing Logical clock (section)

==Algorithms==
Some noteworthy logical clock algorithms are:

* [[Lamport timestamp]]s, which are monotonically increasing software counters.
* [[Vector clock]]s, that allow for partial ordering of events in a distributed system.
* [[Version vector]]s, order replicas, according to updates, in an [[Optimistic replication|optimistic replicated system]].
* [[Matrix clock]]s, an extension of vector clocks that also contains information about other processes' views of the system.
