Every queue on the switch, every interrupt in the kernel, every slight jitter in the link between cabinets slowly stretched the time of the system. Within two to three years, AI cluster density, training/inference switching, cross-domain scheduling, and audit re-checking became the new normal, and we gradually realized that we needed to upgrade the "time base" from NTP, which is "as good as it can be used" to PTP, which is "in place and controllable". We gradually realized that we need to upgrade the "time base" from NTP, which can be used, to PTP, which is "in place and controllable", tighten the error budget from milliseconds to microseconds or even nanoseconds, and turn the "probabilistic consistency" into "engineering verifiability".
