White Rabbit – sub-nanosecond synchronization for large distributed systems
The White Rabbit Project offers sub-nanosecond synchronization and picoseconds precision for large distributed systems. It enables reliable data delivery and precision time-tagging for data collection across extensive installations. The project is supported by fully open hardware, firmware, and software, facilitating connections among thousands of nodes over typical distances of 10 km.
- ▪White Rabbit provides sub-nanosecond accuracy and picoseconds precision of synchronization.
- ▪It allows for deterministic and reliable data delivery in large installations.
- ▪The technology supports Ethernet-based gigabit rate reliable data transfer.
