Significant areas of current research and development, as well as existing operational systems, rely on high-accuracy, sub-nanosecond, distributed timing solutions. White Rabbit is a solution, developed by CERN for use in the Large Hadron Collider, as an open-source hardware, firmware, and software system that enables sub-nanosecond synchronization via ethernet networking. White Rabbit has since grown in its use and application in many areas of high-energy physics, fusion research, and quantum networking as examples. High accuracy timing solutions are also increasingly critical to large distributed databases, deterministic time-sensitive telecommunications, and cyber-physical systems in areas such as advanced manufacturing. The pathway to enable an Open Source Ecosystem, titled herein as the Open-Source Precision, High Accuracy and Security Environment For Time Verification, Calibration, and Interoperability, coordinates with related industry forums, international standards, and other stakeholders through a steering committee to help direct and shape the growing community to encourage further onboarding, developer engagement, and provide a path for end-user feedback to be addressed. The principal focus of this effort is the growth of the White Rabbit open-source ecosystem, enabling the community with access to resources to validate, measure, and calibrate their systems. The work establishes and expands best practices in validating open-source high-accuracy timing solutions such as White Rabbit, and where possible, develop open-source solutions, e.g. for automation of calibration processes. The effort fosters accelerated deployment of solutions while maintaining end-user confidence in the open-source solutions to grow their adoption. The work enables the open source community with the resources and process to integrate new and updated open-source hardware and perform continuous integration testing of their open-source firmware and software updates. Resources are remotely accessible to the global members who will help shape the direction and growth of the ecosystem.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

当前的研究和开发以及现有的运营系统的重要领域依赖于次纳秒，分布式的定时解决方案。 白兔子是一种解决方案，由CERN开发用于大型强子对撞机，作为开源硬件，固件和软件系统，可通过以太网网络启用次纳秒同步。 此后，白兔子在高能物理学，融合研究和量子网络的许多领域都在使用和应用中成长。 高精度的时正式解决方案对于大型分布式数据库，确定性的时间敏感电信以及高级制造等领域的网络物理系统也越来越重要。实现开源生态系统的途径，标题为开源精确度，高精度和安全环境，以进行时间验证，校准和互操作性，与相关行业论坛，国际标准，国际标准和其他利益相关者进行协调。 这项工作的主要重点是白兔开源生态系统的增长，使社区能够获得资源来验证，衡量和校准其系统。 这项工作确立并扩展了验证开源高临界时正时解决方案（如白兔子）的最佳实践，并在可能的情况下开发开源解决方案，例如用于校准过程的自动化。 这项工作促进了解决方案的加速部署，同时保持最终用户对开源解决方案的信心以增加其采用。 这项工作使开源社区具有资源和流程，可以集成新的和更新的开源硬件，并对其开源固件和软件更新进行连续的集成测试。 全球成员可以远程获得资源，他们将有助于塑造生态系统的方向和增长。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，认为值得通过评估获得支持。
