    Abstract: In one embodiment, a communication system includes network devices, each comprising a network interface to receive at least one data stream, a given network device being configured to recover a remote clock from the at least one data stream received by the given network device, a frequency synthesizer to generate a clock signal and output the clock signal to each of the network devices, wherein the given network device is configured to find a clock frequency differential between the clock signal and the recovered remote clock, and provide a control signal to the frequency synthesizer responsively to the clock frequency differential, the control signal causes the frequency synthesizer to adjust the clock signal so as to iteratively reduce an absolute value of the clock frequency differential between the clock signal and the recovered remote clock.

    Abstract: A system includes a device configured to execute workloads coupled to a processing device. The processing device is to receive a request to execute one or more workloads, the request comprising two or more numbers corresponding to a rational value associated with a rate to execute the one or more workloads. The processing device is further to determine the rate to execute the one or more workloads responsive to receiving the two or more numbers corresponding to the rational values. The processing device is to execute the one or more workloads at the determined rate.

    Abstract: A system includes a device coupled to a processing device. The processing device is to receive a timing signal associated with a synchronized time. The processing device is further to synchronize a rate limiter of the device to the synchronized time responsive to receiving the timing signal, wherein the rate limiter is configured to schedule one or more workloads at a respective rate. The processing device is to receive a request to execute the one or more workloads, the request comprising a rate to execute each workload of the one or more workloads. The processing device is to execute the one or more workloads at the respective rate upon synchronizing the rate limiter.

    Abstract: A network device includes one or more ports for connecting to a communication network, packet processing circuitry and clock circuitry. The packet processing circuitry is configured to communicate packets over the communication network via the ports. The clock circuitry includes a hardware clock configured to indicate a network time used for synchronizing network devices in the communication network, and a built-in accuracy test circuit configured to check an accuracy of the hardware clock.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network device includes frequency generation circuitry configured to generate a clock signal, a phase-locked loop (PLL) configured to generate a local clock based on the clock signal, a plurality of receivers configured to receive respective data streams from respective remote clock sources, each receiver of the plurality of receivers being configured to recover a remote clock from a respective data stream, and a controller configured to identify the remote clock recovered by one of the plurality of receivers as a master clock, find a clock differential between the identified remote clock and the local clock, and provide a control signal to the frequency generation circuitry responsively to the clock differential, which causes the frequency generation circuitry to adjust the clock signal so as to iteratively reduce an absolute value of the clock differential.
