Zusammenfassung: | Techniques are disclosed for circuit synchronization. Information is obtained on logical distances between circuits on a semiconductor chip. A plurality of clusters is determined within the chip circuits, where a cluster within the plurality of clusters is synchronized to a tic cycle boundary. A tic cycle count separation is evaluated across the clusters using the information on the logical distances. A plurality of counter initializations is calculated where the counter initializations compensate for the tic cycle count separation across the clusters. A plurality of counters is initialized, with a counter from the plurality of counters being associated with each cluster from the plurality of clusters, where the counters are distributed across the clusters, and where the initializing is based on the counter initializations that were calculated. The plurality of counters is started to coordinate calculation across the plurality of clusters. Reset, debug, and calculation stoppage are provided through the plurality of counters. |
