Accurate Distributed Tracing for Large-Scale AI Infrastructure: Time Synchronization as a Foundation for Reliable Observability
Hesham Elbakoury, Ankur Sharma
Distributed tracing in large-scale AI infrastructure fails silently when clock accuracy is insufficient: causal events are misordered, fault attribution is corrupted, and performan…

Time, Causality, and Observability Failures in Distributed AI Inference Systems
Ankur Sharma, Deep Shah, David Lariviere +1
Distributed AI inference pipelines rely heavily on timestamp-based observability to understand system behavior. This work demonstrates that even small clock skew between nodes can…
