Each processing unit is associated with a time signal generator upon the expiry of which the corresponding processing unit is capable to set expired time signal generator to a predefined duration of time. In case an end of the predefined duration of time deviates less than a predefined duration of time from a scheduled expiry of a time signal generator assigned to a different processing unit; predefined duration of time is modified.
