VOSync: An implementation of synchronization system for the virtual orchestra

The proposed system integrates the IEEE 1588 standard with the Pulse Per Second (PPS) mechanism to improve the accuracy of timing synchronization of the multiple nodes. A reference implementation for the virtual orchestra was given and introduced to evaluate the performance. It operates in the form of a character device driver and the application interface (API) was built for a programmer to use this proposed system. The experimental results show that the accuracy achieves the degree of several microseconds and the proposed system is acceptable for the application.
