Securing method for local clock on multicellular platform, comprises calculation of differences between local clock and absolute reference clock and using the differences to set up new partition

摘要

In a first stage (A) an absolute reference clock (CKR) is established for all partitions (Pi) and the administration tool (MT). In a second stage (B) a difference parameter ( delta -i) between the local and absolute clocks is calculated and memorized. To execute the first stage activity (Ai) in a second partition the clock parameters are recalculated (C) with reference to the absolute clock and the new local clock is updated (D) An Independent claim is also included for : A system which safeguards a local clock on a multicellular partitioned equipment by referring it to an absolute clock and using the difference between the local and absolute clocks to set up a new local time in a new partition
