An Event Correlation Timewarp Algorithm
Xiangbin Shi · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2006
This paper proposed a new synchronization algorithm more suitable for MMOG which introduces the concept of event correlation into Timewarp algorithm.Under this synchronization mechanism,state rollback is executed only when there exists an event whose timestamp is within the rollback time and the event is related with others that should be executed after it but has been done before.The simulation results show that the improved algofithm can reduce the rollback number effectively and decrease synchronization delay,so that MMOGs interactivity and playability are uplifted.
