VLSI Implementation of a Distributed Algorithm for Fault-Tolerant Clock Generation

We present a novel approach for the on-chip generation of a fault-tolerant clock. Our method is based on the hardware implementation of a tick synchronization algorithm from the distributed systems community. We discuss the selection of an appropriate algorithm, present the refinement steps necessar...
