ABSTRACT:
A host processor(s) is loosely-coupled by a plurality of data channels to a peripheral subsystem(s). The host processor(s) has a time of day clock. The peripheral subsystem(s) has a cluster(s) that performs peripheral controller functions. Each cluster has first and second clocks that respectively generate a log entry (logging) reference time and a subsystem time. The first and second clock times result in subsystem time stamps in a log that are not related to the time of day clock. For time correlating the time of day clock with the first and second clocks, a host time stamp is generated from the time of day clock. The host time stamp is sent to the subsystem via one of the data channels for entry into the log with the current time stamps of the first and second clocks as a time-correlating entry. Queue delays in the host processor accessing a data channel for sending the host time stamp and in the subsystem for recording the time-correlating entry are compensated for by updating the host time stamp and by generating an entered time stamp at the time of recording the time-correlating entry. Time stamp correlating operations by a host processor enable recovery from a lost host time stamp.
