FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -In order to synchronize all of a computer’s operations, a system clock-a small quartz crystal located on the motherboard-is used. The system clock sends out a signal on a regular basis to all other computer components.

Detailed explanation-2: -Clock synchronization is a topic in computer science and engineering that aims to coordinate otherwise independent clocks. Even when initially set accurately, real clocks will differ after some amount of time due to clock drift, caused by clocks counting time at slightly different rates.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a synchronized clock system (also known as a distributed time system), a primary controller sets the time. One or more secondary clocks, or movements, receive a signal from the primary controller. This signal tells them what time to display. The signal is received regularly, so the clocks sync regularly.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Windows Time service uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to help synchronize time across a network. NTP is an Internet time protocol that includes the discipline algorithms necessary for synchronizing clocks.

Detailed explanation-5: -A system clock or system timer is a continuous pulse that helps the computer clock keep the correct time. It keeps count of the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch, and uses that data to calculate the current date and time.
