Abstract
Provides a framework for understanding system timing and then describes how the computer clock system executes the timing specifications. He examines clock generation and the construction of clock-distribution networks, which are integral to any clock system. Examples from contemporary high-speed systems highlight several common methods of clock generation, distribution, and tuning. Tight control of system clock skew is stressed.<>
