class but its useful to have timing that is synchronized across multiple
systems. This is essential for doing things like latency testing as well as for many real-time applications. The typical approach is to use a GPS time signal and an interface board in each system. This results in system-to-system timing offsets of 10-20 uSec out-of-the-box. An a lot better with a bit of tuning. The interface to these timing boards is typically via a vendor supplied driver so it would be nice if there was a spot in the timing class where an adapter could be written to handle special cases like this.
It's interesting but shouldn't be addressed by things like boost::ipc or boost::channel (which could use boost::timers for the implementation) ? Philippe
