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.

NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Measurement and automation systems involving multiple devices often require accurate timing in order to facilitate event synchronization and data correlation. For example, an industrial automation ...

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 ...
