1. A method of synchronizing the generation and consumption of isochronous data in a computer system, comprising:

  • providing a plurality of clocks to a plurality of isochronous sinks or sources configured to generate or consume the isochronous data;

    outputting a master clock signal to the plurality of isochronous sinks or sources;

    synchronizing said clocks to said master clock signal so that the generation or consumption of the isochronous data is synchronized to said master clock signal;

    outputting said master clock signal to an interrupt controller; and

    generating an interrupt based on said master clock signal, wherein a processor schedules one or more tasks that generate or consume data based on said interrupt.
