Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an input signal at a local data lane comprising a dynamic entry shift register, the input signal comprising a marker also received at a remote data lane, identifying receipt of the marker in the local data lane, starting a timer and notifying the remote data lane that the marker was found, receiving a marker found status from the remote data lane and saving a value of the timer, calculating a compensated delay for the remote data lane based on the timer value and a number of pipeline stages for the remote data lane, and setting an entry point to the dynamic entry shift register based on the compensated delay to deskew data between the local data lane and the remote data lane.
