Clock synchronization with Chris Perl

Signals and Threads

Clock synchronization, keeping all of the clocks on your network set to the β€œcorrect” time, sounds straightforward: our smartphones sure don’t seem to have trouble with it. Next, keep them all accurate to within 100 microseconds, and prove that you did -- now things start to get tricky. In this episode, Ron talks with Chris Perl, a systems engineer at Jane Street about the fundamental difficulty of solving this problem at scale and how we solved it.
