Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for highly accurate synchronization of machine instances in a distributed, hosted computing environment to a reference timekeeper. In addition to a general communication network accessible to machine instances, the distributed environment includes a second network dedicated to carrying time information, such as a pulse-per-second (PPS) signal to isolated timing hardware within host computing devices. The isolated timing hardware can use the PPS signal, along with a reference time, to set a hardware clock. The isolated timing hardware can further provide an interface to machine instances that enables the instances to read the time of the hardware clock. This configuration enables many instances can share access to a single reference timekeeper, thus synchronizing those instances to a much higher accuracy than in traditional network-based time protocols.

Abstract: Approaches in accordance with various embodiments can be used to provide bootstrap data for a computing device, such as a system on chip (SoC). In particular, various embodiments can use one or more shift registers to receive bits of a sequence of bootstrap data in parallel. Individual bits of this bootstrap data sequence can then be provided to the SoC, from the shift register(s), serially and using a single input. Such an approach prevents the need for multiple bootstrap pins on the SoC, as well as the need to multiplex those pins for use with other external devices.
