Clock synchronization is a topic in computer science and engineering that aims to coordinate otherwise independent clocks. Even when initially set accurately, real clocks will differ after some amount of time due to clock drift, caused by clocks counting time at slightly different rates. There are several problems that occur as a result of ...
Machine-learned interatomic potential. Beginning in the 1990s, researchers have employed machine learning programs to construct interatomic potentials, mapping atomic structures to their potential energies. These potentials are generally referred to as 'machine-learned interatomic potentials' (MLIPs) or simply 'machine learning potentials' (MLPs).
The Bohr–Sommerfeld model (also known as the Sommerfeld model or Bohr–Sommerfeld theory) was an extension of the Bohr model to allow elliptical orbits of electrons around an atomic nucleus. Bohr–Sommerfeld theory is named after Danish physicist Niels Bohr and German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld. Sommerfeld argued that if electronic orbits ...
v. t. e. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable- latency data networks. In operation since before 1985, NTP is one of the oldest Internet protocols in current use. NTP was designed by David L. Mills of the University of Delaware.
White Rabbit is the name of a collaborative project including CERN, GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research and other partners from universities and industry to develop a fully deterministic Ethernet -based network for general purpose data transfer and sub-nanosecond accuracy time transfer. Its initial use was as a timing distribution ...
Time standards. [edit] An atomic clock is based on a system of atoms which may be in one of two possible energy states. A group of atoms in one state is prepared, then subjected to microwave radiation. If the radiation is of the correct frequency, a number of atoms will transition to the other energy state.
Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in such a way that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance.
Cristian's algorithm works between a process P, and a time server S connected to a time reference source. Put simply: P requests the time from S at time t 0. After receiving the request from P, S prepares a response and appends the time T from its own clock. P receives the response at time t 1 then sets its time to be T + RTT/2, where RTT=t 1-t 0.
