Abstract

An indication of time that indicates at least one of the current day and the current time is received. It is determined that a raw interval pulse transmitted by a first oscillator should be adjusted based, at least partly, on the indication of time. In response to determining that the raw interval pulse should be adjusted, a steered time interval pulse is generated based, at least partly, on the raw time interval pulse and the indication of time. The steered time interval pulse is distributed to a plurality of hardware components.
