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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
