    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system, includes a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) to generate a local clock signal having a local clock frequency, and a hardware clock to maintain a value indicative of a local clock time advancing at a frequency proportional to the local clock frequency of the local clock signal generated by the DCO, and clock synchronization circuitry to receive from a device an indication of a remote clock time, generate a digital control command to at least partially correct for a difference between the remote clock time and the local clock time, and provide the digital control command to the DCO, wherein the DCO is to adjust the local clock frequency responsively to the digital control command.

    Abstract: A system including an interconnect device coupled with one or more devices where the first device of the one or more devices is to transmit a control block for synchronization via a physical layer of a link coupled to the high-speed interconnect device, the control block comprising a header portion of bits corresponding to a header indicating the block is a control block and a data portion of bits indicating the control block is associated with time synchronization information. The interconnect device is to receive data, parse the data, determine the data is associated with the control block, determine a delay associated with the physical layer transmitting the control block and transmitting a signal responsive to receiving the control block and determining the delay.

    Abstract: A system includes a device including a transmitter associated with a link coupled to the device. The device is to receive from an application layer of the device, a first bitstream for transmission. The device is to encode the first bitstream into one or more blocks and transmit the one or more data blocks via the link. The device is also to receive a second bitstream to be transmitted. The device is to encode the second bitstream into a control block and transmit the control block via the link. The control block includes a first portion of bits corresponding to a header indicating the control block includes the second bitstream and a second portion of bits including the second bitstream.
