Analyzing Inefficiency in Synchronous Distributed Systems
Imagine a large-scale distributed system where multiple computational nodes work together on a single task. The system is designed to ensure all nodes complete each step of the task before any node proceeds to the next. Analyze the primary factors that could lead to increased idle time for some nodes in this system, and explain how these factors collectively reduce the overall computational efficiency.

Performance Bottleneck in a Synchronous Distributed System
In a synchronous distributed system with four computational nodes, the time taken for each node to complete a single step is 100ms, 120ms, 150ms, and 110ms, respectively. All nodes must wait for the slowest node to finish before starting the next step. What is the total idle time accumulated across all nodes during this single step?
