Precision time synchronization enables more efficient distributed database updates and optimization of parallel executed AI learning tasks. Precise time synchronization is achieved by IEEE1588 PTP time synchronization over Ethernet and by using precision timing clocks such as the SiT9514x Cascade Network Synchronizer, and ultra-stable timing references such as the SiT550x Elite X Super-TCXO from SiTime.
