You'd think that synchronizing the clocks across a fleet of modern servers is a solved problem, but it's actually quite a hard challenge to solve, especially if you want to get to nanosecond accuracy.

Fixing out of sync VM clocks may be a bit annoying, but it's 100 percent doable. Here's how. One of the nice things about Hyper-V is that you usually don't have to worry about setting virtual machine ...

With increased clock domains in modern ASICs, clock-domain crossing (CDC) has become ubiquitous, indispensable, and essential. Of course, timing is always an issue. High clock speeds and delays in ...

If time is money, then what is the value of a nanosecond (billionth of a second)? Well, if you are building a large network of distributed applications, it could mean a ten percent improvement in ...

The need for more accurate time synchronization within a distributed system. The challenges of using synchronized time provided by the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) in application software and the ...

The IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol enables precise time synchronization over the packet-based Ethernet network so that the time on a slave clock at one end of the network agrees with a master clock ...
