Abstract
The operation of a machine can be controlled by performing reconciliation using a cluster of nodes. In one example, a node can receive parent timestamped data from a parent dataset and child timestamped data from child datasets that are children of the parent dataset in a hierarchical relationship. The parent timestamped data and the child timestamped data can relate to an operational characteristic of the machine. The node can generate computer processing-threads. Each computer processing-thread can solve one or more respective reconciliation problems between a parent data point that has a particular timestamp in the parent timestamped data and child data points that also have the particular timestamp in the child timestamp data to generate a reconciled dataset. An operational setting of the machine can then be adjusted based on the reconciled dataset.
