Academic and Industry Engagement - Workstream #10
Back to Time Appliances Project's wiki
Goal:
The Time Synchronization Industry-Academia workstream (TSIAW) brings together researchers and industry practitioners to discuss and solve challenging problems in time synchronization of connected devices and applications.
Mission Statement:
· To promote the advancement of precise time in data center and edge/networked designs and applications
· To get software developer to think differently about how they write software for synchronized applications and to remove 50 years of software hacks and band-aids required to work-around the lack of time synchronization
· Identifying and promoting data to help decision makers on the topic of precise time.
Organization:
· Identify and distribute key research areas in time synchronization.
· Organize virtual meetings to bring together researchers and industry practitioners to discuss and demo current challenges and novel solutions.
· Top submission can present at OCP conference or recommended to other conferences.
· Create a central repository for research findings, papers, presentations and best practices related to time synchronization (OCP-TAP wiki for this)

Hardware Roadmap
Design | Objective | |
---|---|---|
#1 | Time Card based PPS measurement | Scaleable use of the Time Card in a generic server to perform up to 4 PPS measurements |
Software
Design | Objective | |
---|---|---|
#1 | Time Card based PPS measurement | Interface with Time Card driver and export PPS measurement data in a useful format |
Potential Future Hardware Solutions
Core Hardware | Objective | |
---|---|---|
#1 | TDC | Small, cheap, and low power use-case |
#2 | PTM controller | A PCIe based daughter card that can be synchronized with a high stability source (Time Card) over PCIe to scale PPS measurements |
#3 | UWB | A method for distributing GPS and time to areas where measurements are made, but GPS is not available |
#4 | DPLL | A discrete design based around a DPLL , removing the need for an FPGA |
