We rarely think about keeping time. As Chicago sang in the 60s, "Does anyone really know what time it is? Does anyone really care?" But, technically, we care a lot. Today, Facebook uses a ...

You'd think that synchronizing the clocks across a fleet of modern servers is a solved problem, but it's actually quite a hard challenge to solve, especially if you want to get to nanosecond accuracy.

Facebook has taken a break from the election business to make a breakthrough in global synchronized timekeeping. The tech titan has compared the two leading time protocols used in networks and done a ...

Local clock inaccuracy is so miniscule as to not merit mention with respect to NTP. (around three orders of magnitude difference). Click to expand... For bare metal, yes. For virtual, no. Fire up ntpd ...

Setting up a Unix system to be an NTP client is generally straightforward. On those Unix platforms that include NTP in the default configuration, you may only need to make a few adjustments to NTP’s ...
