AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, the more instructions that must be executed, the more delays will be incurred, resulting in less accuracy
Also, the more software involved, the more vulnerable it is to preemption by the operating system (OS) scheduler, causing further delays

Abstract

A data processing system and a time processing device are provided. In one embodiment, a dedicated time handling device plugs into a peripheral bus coupled to or embedded with at least a portion of the remaining system components (eg, processor, memory) of the data processing system to synchronize the system clock of the data processing system. The peripheral bus may be a Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) bus, a PCI Express (PCIe) link, a PCI Extended (PCI‑X) bus, or the like. The time handling device receives high precision time from a high precision time source such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) time source. The time processing device decodes and processes the received time, and stores the time in an internal time register. The time handling device also includes an interface that allows an external component (eg, a processor) to retrieve with low latency the time stored in the time register for the purpose of synchronizing the system clock.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention generally relate to time synchronization of data processing systems. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to high precision time synchronization of data processing systems. Background technique [0002] One of the challenges in the embedded world is keeping track of extremely precise time. Time is universal and constant throughout all devices on or near Earth. Keeping track of time accurately will allow distributed systems to maintain synchronization naturally. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a mechanism that allows a network-connected computer or device to retrieve the time from an NTP server across the network. If an NTP server can maintain microsecond precision, computers will achieve millisecond precision due to unpredictable network delays. [0003] Special purpose devices, such as those used to implement NTP servers, are not of general use. Such specialized equipment is usually very expensive...
