{wiki=Berkeley_algorithm}
The Berkeley Algorithm is a method used for synchronizing time across a distributed system. It was proposed by David L. Mills in 1973 and is designed to achieve consistency in timekeeping among a group of machines that may have different local times. \#\#\# Key Aspects of the Berkeley Algorithm: 1. **Coordinator-Based Approach**: The algorithm designates a single machine as the coordinator. This machine is responsible for gathering time data from all other machines in the network.
