  2. Latency (audio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(audio)

    Latency refers to a short period of delay (usually measured in milliseconds) between when an audio signal enters a system, and when it emerges. Potential contributors to latency in an audio system include analog-to-digital conversion , buffering , digital signal processing , transmission time , digital-to-analog conversion , and the speed of ...

  3. Hard disk drive performance characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive...

    Maximum latency = 60/rpm; Average latency = 0.5*Maximum latency; Therefore, the rotational latency and resulting access time can be improved (decreased) by increasing the rotational speed of the disks. [5] This also has the benefit of improving (increasing) the throughput (discussed later in this article).

  4. Memory latency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_latency

    Memory latency is the time (the latency) between initiating a request for a byte or word in memory until it is retrieved by a processor. If the data are not in the processor's cache , it takes longer to obtain them, as the processor will have to communicate with the external memory cells.

  5. Comparison of remote music performance software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_music...

    While standard web conferencing software is designed to facilitate remote audio and video communication, it has too much latency for live musical performance. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Connection-oriented Internet protocols subject audio signals to delays and other interference which presents a problem for keeping latency low enough for musicians to play ...

  6. Windows System Assessment Tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_System_Assessment_Tool

    While running, the tests show only a progress bar and a "working" background animation. Aero Glass is deactivated on Windows Vista and Windows 7 during testing so the tool can properly assess the graphics card and CPU. In Windows 8, WinSAT runs under the maintenance scheduler every week. The default schedule is 1am on Sundays.

  7. Cache performance measurement and metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_performance...

    The execution time is the time for a cache access, and the memory stall cycles include the time to service a cache miss and access lower levels of memory. If the access latency, miss rate and miss penalty are known, the average memory access time can be calculated with: = +

  8. Audio Stream Input/Output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Stream_Input/Output

    Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) is a computer audio interface driver protocol for digital audio specified by Steinberg, providing high data throughput, synchronization, and low latency between a software application and a computer's audio interface or sound card.

  9. Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)

    Latency, from a general point of view, is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. Lag, as it is known in gaming circles, refers to the latency between the input to a simulation and the visual or auditory response, often occurring because of network delay in online games.
