Abstract
A method and a system for saving the local clock of a data processing area of a multicellular platform, configured from a management tool as a data processing server on a partitionable machine.For the management tool and each data processing area, an absolute reference clock is established. For each area comprising a local clock managing an operating activity, there is calculated and stored a backup attribute containing at least one time shift parameter of the parameters for management of the local time with respect to the absolute reference clock. For the subsequent execution of the operating activity on a successive different data processing area, parameters for management of the time of this activity with respect to the absolute reference clock are recalculated. The successive local clock, associated with the successive different data processing area is updated, prior to the launching of the operating activity to continue execution.
