Clock synchronization
Clock synchronization is the process of coordinating time across different devices and systems to ensure they all display the same time. This is essential for activities like data sharing, communication, and scheduling, especially in networks and global applications. By using methods such as time servers and protocols like NTP (Network Time Protocol), devices can compare their clocks and adjust accordingly. This helps maintain order and accuracy, preventing errors that may arise from time discrepancies, ensuring that events occur seamlessly and in harmony across various platforms and locations.
