(under the class definition) Subject matter comprising means or steps for synchronizing the control or regulation of clocking or timing operations of two or more processors.
(1) Note. Classification herein is proper if a single clock or timing circuit controls the processors, plural clocks or timing circuits are synchronized to control the processors, or operations are synchronized to occur on the same clocking or timing cycle.
(2) Note. Passing of data (e.g., tokens, semaphores) for multicomputer synchronizing is classified elsewhere in this class. See the SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS notes below.
