    摘要: A synchronization system capable of simultaneously resetting frequency divide-by counters (124A, 124B) of multiple processors (A, B) to zero regardless of the divide-by frequency signal (Mclk/n signal (168A, 168B)) and regardless of the magnitude of the clock mesh delays experienced by the Mclk/n signals in the processors. The synchronization system includes a mesh delay circuit (176A, 176B) for each processor that simulates in the undivided signal (Mclk/1 signal (136A, 136B)) the clock mesh delay experienced by the Mclk/n signal in that processor so as to provide an Lclk signal (172A, 172B). A phase detector detects the phase offset between the Mclk/n signal and the Sysclk signal (112) and sends an asynchronous offset signal (194A, 194B) to a counter re-setter (196A, 196B) that resets the divide-by counter to zero based on the offset signal.

    摘要: A mechanism provides accurate time-based counters for scaling operating frequencies of microprocessors. The mechanism makes use of a time-based counter circuit configuration in which a fixed frequency clock is derived from a PLL of the clock generation circuit of the microprocessor and is used to feed the external and internal timebase logic as well as a timebase accumulator counter. The timebase accumulator counter accumulates the tick events from the timebase logic between two core clocks. The accumulated value is transferred to the core clock domain on every clock edge of a scalable clock and the accumulator is then reset. Because the accumulated ticks are transferred to the core clock domain before the accumulator is reset, no ticks are ever lost using the circuitry of the illustrative embodiment.
