  2. Exponential backoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff

    For example, if the ceiling is set at i = 10 in a truncated binary exponential backoff algorithm, (as it is in the IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD standard [14]), then the maximum delay is 1023 slot times, i.e. 2 101. Selecting an appropriate backoff limit for a system involves striking a balance between collision probability and latency.

    C#, since .NET Framework 4.5, [22] via the keywords async and await [23] Kotlin, however kotlin.native.concurrent.Future is only usually used when writing Kotlin that is intended to run natively [35] Nim; Oxygene; Oz version 3 [36] Python concurrent.futures, since 3.2, [37] as proposed by the PEP 3148, and Python 3.5 added async and await [38]

  4. Non-blocking algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm

    Wait-freedom is the strongest non-blocking guarantee of progress, combining guaranteed system-wide throughput with starvation-freedom.An algorithm is wait-free if every operation has a bound on the number of steps the algorithm will take before the operation completes. [15]

  5. Nagle's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagle's_algorithm

    Nagle considers delayed ACKs a "bad idea" since the application layer does not usually respond within the delay window (which would allow the ACK to be combined with the response packet). [2] For typical (non-realtime) use cases, he recommends disabling delayed ACK instead of disabling his algorithm, as "quick" ACKs do not incur as much ...

  6. Group delay and phase delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_delay_and_phase_delay

    The group delay and phase delay properties of a linear time-invariant (LTI) system are functions of frequency, giving the time from when a frequency component of a time varying physical quantity—for example a voltage signal—appears at the LTI system input, to the time when a copy of that same frequency component—perhaps of a different physical phenomenon—appears at the LTI system output.

    The next year, the committee published its initial report on a uniform standard, and went on to form the NFPA in late 1896. The committee's initial report evolved into NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, the most widely used fire sprinkler standard. [6]

  8. Delay slot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay_slot

    In computer architecture, a delay slot is an instruction slot being executed without the effects of a preceding instruction. [1] The most common form is a single arbitrary instruction located immediately after a branch instruction on a RISC or DSP architecture; this instruction will execute even if the preceding branch is taken.

  9. Transmission time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_time

    Packet delivery time = Transmission time + Propagation delay In case of a network connection mediated by several physical links and forwarding nodes, the network delivery time depends on the sum of the delivery times of each link, and also on the packet queuing time (which is varying and depends on the traffic load from other connections) and ...
