This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

The introduction is biased. Clock synchronization is much older problem than computer science; for example, it led Einstein to some of his theories. The need to have synchronous clocks was a major problem for cartographers and navigators in determining longitude since the 15th century. This needs to be rewritten to reflect a much more general and older heritage Intersofia 12:49, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that the links for software sources for clock synching really belong here, the would be better placed in the article for NTP. --Androsyn 19:23, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New article needed

This should be a disambig pointing to two separate articles:

synchronization (computer science)
synchronization (relativity), with redirect from Einstein synchronization

In the latter topic, monitor for possible POV-pushing edits by User:Carl Hewitt (who has caused a huge amount of trouble in the past). ---CH 00:50, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added GPS mention

I added a mention of the GPS, which is copied from the GPS article along with it's reference. If anyone knows more about this, feel free to add.. Jimw338 (talk) 18:52, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Clock synchronization. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20110609015437/http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1424575 to http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1424575

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Edit request

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Clock synchronization. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

HUYGENS and Clockwork Systems

Researchers from Stanford and Google introduced HUYGENS, a probe-based, end-to-end clock synchronization algorithm. HUYGENS is implemented in software and thus can be deployed in data centers or in public cloud environments. By leveraging some key aspects of modern data centers, and applying novel estimation algorithms and signal processing techniques, the HUYGENS algorithm achieved an accuracy of 10s of nanoseconds even at high network load. The findings of this research are the basis for Clockwork Systems enterprise solution.

Source on how clocks are Synchronized YouTube Video LiveStream of Stephen Wolfram Answering Questions for Kids and the General Public about Science, Technology, and Mathematics

I found a live stream by Stephen Wolfram on YouTube describing how clocks are synchronized in everyday terms at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7ioy6jVXFM&t=1800s. I was wondering if someone could add this as a source for the article of computer clock synchronization.ScientistBuilder (talk) 21:25, 13 October 2021 (UTC)ScientistBuilderScientistBuilder (talk) 21:25, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
