Of or requiring a form of computer control timing protocol in which a specific operation begins upon receipt of an indication (signal) that the preceding operation has been completed,
  1. Of or requiring a form of computer control timing protocol in which a specific operation begins upon receipt of an indication (signal) that the preceding operation has been completed

  2. Not going at the same rate and exactly together with something else, in particular

  3. (of a machine or motor) Not working in time with the alternations of current

  4. (of a satellite) Revolving around the parent planet at a different rate from that at which the planet rotates

  5. (of an orbit) Such that a satellite in it is asynchronous

  6. (of two or more objects or events) Not existing or happening at the same time

  1. (digital communication) pertaining to a transmission technique that does not require a common clock between the communicating devices; timing signals are derived from special characters in the data stream itself
  2. not synchronous; not occurring or existing at the same time or having the same period or phase
  3. Asynchrony, in the general meaning, is the state of not being synchronized. * Asynchronous learning * Collaborative editing systems
  4. Not synchronous; occurring at different times; allowing the client to continue during processing
  5. (Asynchronously) A client can register a message listener with a consumer. A message listener is similar to an event listener. Whenever a message arrives at the destination, the JMS provider delivers the message by calling the listener’s onMessage method, which acts on the contents of the message.
  6. (Asynchronously) in regard to birds, this term means that eggs in a clutch hatch one or two days apart from each other
  7. Occurring at different times. For example, electronic mail is asynchronous communication because it does not require the sender and receiver to be connected at the same time.
  8. replication, often referred to as store-and-forward replication, captures any local changes, stores them in a queue, and, at regular intervals, propagates and applies these changes at remote sites. With this form of replication, there is a period of time before all sites achieve data convergence.
  9. Said of events or activities whose relative temporal ordering is indeterminate because too many things are going on at once. Hence, an asynchronous event is one you didn't know when to expect.
  10. transmission data type where communication can occur at different times stopping and starting anytime.
  11. Communication in which interaction between parties does not take place simultaneously.
  12. A type of message passing where the sending task does not wait for a reply before continuing processing. If the receiving task cannot take the message immediately, the message often waits on a queue until it can be received.
  13. Data that is transmitted without an associated clock signal. The time spacing between data characters or blocks may be of arbitrary duration. Opposite of synchronous.
  14. In a data communication system, an arrangement without an associated clock that ensures that every character is transmitted independently.
  15. (n.) A method of transmission which does not require a common clock, but separates fields of data by stop and start bits.
  16. Transmission where sending and receiving devices are not synchronized. Data must carry signals to indicate data division.
  17. Vibration components that are not related to rotating speed (also referred to as nonsynchronous).
  18. A communication method where data is sent when it is ready without being referenced to a timing clock, rather than waiting until the receiver signals that it is ready to receive.
  19. [pretentious] Any time you like, e.g. watching a rerun on your VCR.
  20. Video and data signals and devices that are not precisely in step, are not of the same frequency, or are not happening together in time.
  21. The transmission of data between a transmitting and a receiving device that occurs as a series of zeros and ones. For the data to be "read" correctly, the receiving device must begin reading at the proper point in the series. ...
  22. In DSS services messages can arrive at arbitrary times and in unpredictable order. These are asynchronous messages. It is also possible for two or more messages to arrive simultaneously, which requires a way to handle concurrency.
  23. Asynchronous sockets are a refinement of non-blocking sockets, enabled with the WSAAsyncSelect() call. Whenever a call returns WSAEWOULDBLOCK, Winsock promises to send your program a window message when it’s safe to try the call again, or when it has completed the request. ...
  24. This means “with varying frequency”. In computer terminology, this term often applies to the data stream that is not controlled by a fixed clock frequency.
  25. A multiplexing and switching technique that organizes information Transfer Mode into fixed-length cells consisting of an identification header field and an information field. The transfer rate is asynchronous in that the recurrence of cells depends on the instantaneously required bit rate.
