China has quietly taken a decisive step in the new space race by building what it calls the first software system capable of ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 11, 2016 -- An international team of researchers, led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, has advanced their work ...

Multiple clocks are inevitable in today's designs. Systems-on-chip (SoCs) have grown significantly in complexity, as well as in the variety of intellectual-property (IP) blocks that can be integrated.

Time-sensitive networks (TSN) in Ethernet are improving computer-based measurements from sub-microsecond to sub-nanosecond precision. By using message-based protocols that synchronize clocks, it is ...

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 ...

Precision time is ubiquitous today thanks to GPS and WWVB. Even your Macbook or smartphone displays time which is synchronized to the NIST-F1 clock, a cesium fountain atomic clock (aka the ‘Atomic ...
