Clock synchronization: Technology, Standards & Science

In computer science and electrical engineering, clock synchronization is a technique for coordinating multiple independent electronic clock signals. All clocks are susceptible to deviation in their timing from a reference clock, a phenomenon called clock drift. Even when a group of clocks are initially set to the same time, the effect of clock drift…
