An Estimation of the Maximum Advancing Step when Applying a Non-Distributed System in a Distributed Environment

Because a non-distributed system has to be partitioned into different parts for distributed deployment, delays in the data exchanged between computer nodes are incurred and state errors are produced. As a result, the transformed distributed system may undergo performance deterioration or even become unstable. The errors are mainly affected by the distributed advancing step. In this paper, a novel approach is introduced to calculate the maximum advancing step. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of our approach.
