Abstract
Consisting of 32 high-speed processors, the multiple processor emulation facility communicates data between its processors through the use of synchronous, high-bandwidth packet switches residing on the ports of every processor. Because of the synchronous nature of these packet switches, there was a need to design a clock distribution system that can distribute a clock signal to the 32 ports with as little clock skew as possible.
