Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2013096986A2] The invention relates to a method for combining results of a multiplicity of periodically operating components of a distributed computer system at the correct time, wherein the components communicate solely by means of messages via at least one communication system, and wherein each component has a global time with the precision P. Provision is made for each component to be unambiguously associated with one of n hierarchical levels, preferably in system design, wherein the durations of the periods of the components, which are derived from the progression of the global time, are an integer multiple of one another, and wherein the phase of transmitting each message is synchronized with the corresponding phase of receiving each transmitted message within each longest period of the entire distributed computer system even if the transmitting components and the receiving components are arranged on different hierarchical levels and are spatially distributed. The invention also relates to a computer system for carrying out such a method.
