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 ...

While computers manage many things with extreme precision, they have surprising difficulty keeping track of time. It’s pretty much impossible for a computer to keep exact time, although accuracy can ...

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) service allows devices on the Drexel network to set and synchronize their real-time clock with a high degree of accuracy. Drexel's Network Time Service is typically ...

The study of population protocols and distributed algorithms occupies a pivotal position in the ongoing development of computational theory and its practical implementations. Population protocols ...

David L. Mills, a computer scientist who invented the system that allows connected computers to sync their clocks, a bedrock technology relied on by the entire modern internet, died Jan. 17 at his ...
