Abstract

See full text

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining processor offsets to synchronize processor time values. A determination is made of a master processor offset from one of a plurality of time values of the master processor and a time value of one of the slave processors. A determination is made of slave processor offsets, wherein each slave processor offset is determined from the master processor offset, one of the time values of the master processor, and a time value of the slave processor. A current time value of the master processor is adjusted by the master processor offset. A current time value of each of the slave processors is adjusted by the slave processor offset for the slave processor whose time value is being adjusted.
