Abstract
Embodiments relate to methods and apparatuses () for synchronizing a first event (), having associated therewith a first original event timing value based on a common clock signal, and a second event (), having associated therewith a second original event timing value based on the common clock signal, wherein the first and the second event () experience different delays while travelling through different paths of a distributed computing system (), and wherein at least one output event () is to be determined by an event detector () based on the first and the second event (). The apparatus () comprises a delay compensator () associated to the event detector (), the delay compensator () having an input () for receiving the first and the second event () and having an output () for forwarding relayed versions (') of the received first and second event to the associated event detector (), wherein the delay compensator () is operable to relay the first and the second event () to the associated event detector () based on the experienced delays and based on the associated first and second original event timing values.
