In one embodiment, a distributed oscillator computes a first error value based on a first state value for the distributed oscillator and first state values for other distributed oscillators, and computes a second error value based on a second state value for the distributed oscillator and second state values for the other distributed oscillators. The distributed oscillator computes a new first state value for the distributed oscillator based on the first error value, the first state value for the distributed oscillator, and the second state value for the distributed oscillator, and computes a new second state value for the distributed oscillator based on the second error value, the first state value for the distributed oscillator, and the second state value for the distributed oscillator. The distributed oscillator transmits the new first state value and the new second state value to the other distributed oscillators.
