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.
Time-sensitive networks (TSN) in Ethernet are improving computer-based measurements from sub-microsecond to sub-nanosecond precision. By using message-based protocols that synchronize clocks, it is ...
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 ...
