The Global Positioning System (GPS), the Internet and many defense-critical applications for example—demand exceptionally precise time and frequency standards. Today’s systems, however, rely on 1950s ...

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 ...

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.

Precision time synchronisation lies at the heart of modern networked systems, underpinning the reliable operation of critical infrastructures ranging from power grids and telecommunications to ...
