As clock frequency and die area increase, achieving energy efficiency, while distributing a low skew, global clock signal becomes increasingly difficult. Challenges imposed by dee...
In a sensor network the sensors, or nodes, obtain data and have to communicate these data to a central node. Because sensors are battery powered they are highly energy constrained....

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is widely used to synchronize computer clocks throughout the Internet. Existing NTP clients and servers form a very large distributed system, and y...
Time information is critical for a variety of applications in distributed environments that facilitate pervasive computing and communication. This work describes and evaluates a no...
Abstract. The proliferation of multiprocessor servers and multithreaded applications has increased the demand for high-performance synchronization. Traditional scheduler-based lock...
