  2. Async/await - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Async/await

    Supporters claim that asynchronous, non-blocking code can be written with async/await that looks almost like traditional synchronous, blocking code. In particular, it has been argued that await is the best way of writing asynchronous code in message-passing programs; in particular, being close to blocking code, readability and the minimal ...

  3. Asynchronous method invocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_method_invocation

    In multithreaded computer programming, asynchronous method invocation (AMI), also known as asynchronous method calls or the asynchronous pattern is a design pattern in which the call site is not blocked while waiting for the called code to finish. Instead, the calling thread is notified when the reply arrives. Polling for a reply is an ...

    An asynchronous procedure call (APC) ... APC is a function that executes asynchronously in the context of a specific thread. [1] ... a non-profit organization.

  5. Futures and promises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises

    In other cases a future and a promise are created together and associated with each other: the future is the value, the promise is the function that sets the value – essentially the return value (future) of an asynchronous function (promise). Setting the value of a future is also called resolving, fulfilling, or binding it.

  6. Remote Function Call - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Function_Call

    A Remote Function Call (RFC) is the call or remote execution of a Remote Function Module in an external system. In the SAP system, these functions are provided by the RFC interface system. The RFC interface system enables function calls between two SAP systems. There are 3 different versions of RFC communication:

  7. Ajax (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)

    Ajax (also AJAX / ˈ eɪ dʒ æ k s /; short for "asynchronous JavaScript and XML" [1] [2]) is a set of web development techniques that uses various web technologies on the client-side to create asynchronous web applications.

  8. Event loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_loop

    For non-interactive, I/O only events, Windows has I/O completion ports. I/O completion port loops run separately from the Message loop, and do not interact with the Message loop out of the box. The "heart" of most Win32 applications is the WinMain() function, which calls GetMessage() in a loop.

  9. Message passing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing

    Message passing is a technique for invoking behavior (i.e., running a program) on a computer. In contrast to the traditional technique of calling a program by name, message passing uses an object model to distinguish the general function from the specific implementations. The invoking program sends a message and relies on the object to select ...
