CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION OF DECENTRALIZED PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention provides a method for clock synchronisation in a distributed processing system comprising the steps of. - diffusing from a processor with a preferred clock value (for instance, a processor having a fastest correct clock) a synch signal indicating the preferred clock value to the other processors in the system; and - adjusting at the other processors in the system the local clocks in response to the synch signal such that the difference between the local clock values for each pair of processors in the system is bounded.
