asynchronous operation of a system
1Asynchronous I/O — Asynchronous I/O, or non blocking I/O, is a form of input/output processing that permits other processing to continue before the transmission has finished. Input and output (I/O) operations on a computer can be extremely slow compared to the… …
2Asynchronous serial communication — describes an asynchronous, serial transmission protocol in which a start signal is sent prior to each byte, character or code word and a stop signal is sent after each code word. The start signal serves to prepare the receiving mechanism for the… …
3System-on-a-chip — or system on chip (SoC or SOC) refers to integrating all components of a computer or other electronic system into a single integrated circuit (chip). It may contain digital, analog, mixed signal, and often radio frequency functions ndash; all on… …
4Asynchronous systems — In a synchronous system, operations are coordinated under the centralized control of a fixed rate clock signal or several clocks. An asynchronous digital system, in contrast, has no global clock: instead, it operates under distributed control,… …
5Asynchronous circuit — An asynchronous circuit is a circuit in which the parts are largely autonomous. They are not governed by a clock circuit or global clock signal, but instead need only wait for the signals that indicate completion of instructions and operations.… …
6Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter — A universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (usually abbreviated UART and pronEng|ˈjuːɑrt) is a type of asynchronous receiver/transmitter , a piece of computer hardware that translates data between parallel and serial forms. UARTs are commonly… …

8Distributed operating system — A distributed operating system is the logical aggregation of operating system software over a collection of independent, networked, communicating, and spatially disseminated computational nodes.[1] Individual system nodes each hold a discrete… …
9Spring (operating system) — Spring was an experimental microkernel based object oriented operating system developed at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. Using technology substantially similar to concepts developed in the Mach kernel, Spring concentrated on providing a… …
