摘要：A method for performing timer synchronization between a first processorhaving a first timer and a second processor having a second timer is presented. The firstprocessor issues to the second processor a first timer value corresponding to the currentvalue of the first timer and the second timer compares the first timer value with a secondtimer value corresponding to the current value of the second timer. If the second timervalue is less than the first timer value, the second processor increments the second timervalue to a new second timer value equal to the first timer value. If the second timer valueis greater than the first timer value, the second processor issues to the first processorsthe second timer value and the first processor adjusts the first timer value to be equal tothe second timer value.
