Time Synchronized Measurements in Cluster Computing Systems

چکیده
We describe hardware time synchronization instrumentation that we have developed which achieves time synchronization of better than one microsecond. The purpose of this instrumentation is for Quality of Service characterization of parallel and distributed computing and of network communications. Using this instrumentation we measure the accuracy achieved by the NIST Autolock time synchronization algorithm, built upon the wellknown Network Time Protocol (NTP) time exchange, and the various factors contributing to its performance for both local and remote computing clusters. We show that such software algorithms, once their parameters are tuned for the expected delays, can achieve accuracy close to single digit microseconds.
