Distributed systems

a timing model in which message delays and processor speeds have bounds that are unknown or hold only after some unknown time, so consensus becomes solvable.

In distributed systems, partial synchrony refers to a timing model in which message delays and processor speeds have bounds that are unknown or hold only after some unknown time, so consensus becomes solvable. This meaning comes from Dwork (1988) in Journal of the ACM.[1]
