  2. Async/await - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Async/await

    Because of this, if an interface method needs to return a promise object, but itself does not require await in the body to wait on any asynchronous tasks, it does not need the async modifier either and can instead return a promise object directly.

  3. NOP (code) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOP_(code)

    Many computer protocols, such as telnet, include a NOP command that a client can issue to request a response from the server without requesting any other actions. Such a command can be used to ensure the connection is still alive or that the server is responsive. A NOOP command is part of the following protocols (this is a partial list): telnet ...

  4. Busy waiting - Wikipedia

    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 ]

  5. Just-in-time compilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation

    JIT causes a slight to noticeable delay in the initial execution of an application, due to the time taken to load and compile the input code. Sometimes this delay is called "startup time delay" or "warm-up time". In general, the more optimization JIT performs, the better the code it will generate, but the initial delay will also increase.

  6. Futures and promises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises

    The terms future, promise, delay, and deferred are often used interchangeably, although some differences in usage between future and promise are treated below. Specifically, when usage is distinguished, a future is a read-only placeholder view of a variable, while a promise is a writable, single assignment container which sets the value of the ...

  7. Timeout (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeout_(computing)

    In the Microsoft Windows and ReactOS [2] command-line interfaces, the timeout command pauses the command processor for the specified number of seconds. [3] [4] In POP connections, the server will usually close a client connection after a certain period of inactivity (the timeout period). This ensures that connections do not persist forever, if ...

  8. Digital delay generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_delay_generator

    The digital delay generator is similar to a pulse generator in function, but the timing resolution is much finer, and the delay and width jitter much less. Some manufacturers, calling their units "digital delay and pulse generators", have added independent amplitude polarity and level control to each of their outputs in addition to delay and ...

  9. CAS latency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_latency

    The CAS latency is the delay between the time at which the column address and the column address strobe signal are presented to the memory module and the time at which the corresponding data is made available by the memory module. The desired row must already be active; if it is not, additional time is required.
