  2. Asynchronous communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_communication

    An asynchronous communication service or application does not require a constant bit rate. [2] Examples are file transfer, email and the World Wide Web. An example of the opposite, a synchronous communication service, is realtime streaming media, for example IP telephony, IPTV and video conferencing.

  3. Asynchronous Transfer Mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_Transfer_Mode

    Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a telecommunications standard defined by the American National Standards Institute and International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T, formerly CCITT) for digital transmission of multiple types of traffic.

  4. Asynchronous communication mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_communication...

    The role of an asynchronous communication mechanism (ACM) is to synchronize the transfer of data in a system between a writing process and a reading process operating concurrently. [ 1 ] Description

  5. Asynchrony (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchrony_(computer...

    Asynchronous method dispatch (AMD), a data communication method used when there is a need for the server side to handle a large number of long lasting client requests. [3] Using synchronous method dispatch (SMD), this scenario may turn the server into an unavailable busy state resulting in a connection failure response caused by a network ...

  6. Message passing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing

    Synchronous communication can be built on top of asynchronous communication by using a Synchronizer. For example, the α-Synchronizer works by ensuring that the sender always waits for an acknowledgement message from the receiver. The sender only sends the next message after the acknowledgement has been received.

  7. Asynchrony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchrony

    Asynchronous communication, transmission of data without the use of an external clock signal; Asynchronous cellular automaton, a mathematical model of discrete cells which update their state independently; Asynchronous operation, a sequence of operations executed out of time coincidence with any event

  8. Asynchronous serial communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_serial...

    Asynchronous serial communication is a form of serial communication in which the communicating endpoints' interfaces are not continuously synchronized by a common clock signal. Instead of a common synchronization signal, the data stream contains synchronization information in form of start and stop signals, before and after each unit of ...

  9. Comparison of synchronous and asynchronous signalling

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_synchronous...

    The most common asynchronous signalling, asynchronous start-stop signalling, uses a near-constant 'bit' timing (+/- 5% local oscillator required at both ends of the connection [2]). Using this method, the receiver detects the 'first' edge transition... (the START bit), waits 'half a bit duration' and then reads the value of the signal.
