  2. Async/await - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Async/await

    In methods that have a return value of type Task<T>, methods declared with async must have a return statement of type assignable to T instead of Task<T>; the compiler wraps the value in the Task<T> generic. It is also possible to await methods that have a return type of Task or Task<T> that are declared without async.

  3. Futures and promises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises

    In computer science, futures, promises, delays, and deferreds are constructs used for synchronizing program execution in some concurrent programming languages.Each is an object that acts as a proxy for a result that is initially unknown, usually because the computation of its value is not yet complete.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff

    The throughput-delay results of the two retransmission methods were compared by extensive simulations and found to be essentially the same. [ 8 ] Lam’s model provides mathematically rigorous answers to the stability questions of slotted ALOHA, as well as an efficient algorithm for computing the throughput-delay performance for any stable system.

  5. Delta timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_timing

    Delta time or delta timing is a concept used amongst programmers in relation to hardware and network responsiveness. [1] In graphics programming, the term is usually used for variably updating scenery based on the elapsed time since the game last updated, [2] (i.e. the previous "frame") which will vary depending on the speed of the computer, and how much work needs to be done in the program at ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

    Spinning can also be used to generate an arbitrary time delay, a technique that was necessary on systems that lacked a method of waiting a specific length of time. Processor speeds vary greatly from computer to computer, especially as some processors are designed to dynamically adjust speed based on current workload. [ 1 ]

  9. Spinlock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinlock

    In software engineering, a spinlock is a lock that causes a thread trying to acquire it to simply wait in a loop ("spin") while repeatedly checking whether the lock is available. Since the thread remains active but is not performing a useful task, the use of such a lock is a kind of busy waiting .
