  2. Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)

    Latency, from a general point of view, is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. Lag , as it is known in gaming circles , refers to the latency between the input to a simulation and the visual or auditory response, often occurring because of network delay in online games.

  3. Memory timings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_timings

    What determines absolute latency (and thus system performance) is determined by both the timings and the memory clock frequency. When translating memory timings into actual latency, it is important to note that timings are in units of clock cycles, which for double data rate memory is half the speed of the commonly quoted transfer rate. Without ...

  4. Interrupt latency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt_latency

    Minimum interrupt latency is largely determined by the interrupt controller circuit and its configuration. They can also affect the jitter in the interrupt latency, which can drastically affect the real-time schedulability of the system. The Intel APIC architecture is well known for producing a huge amount of interrupt latency jitter. [citation ...

  5. Average memory access time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_memory_access_time

    AMAT's three parameters hit time (or hit latency), miss rate, and miss penalty provide a quick analysis of memory systems. Hit latency (H) is the time to hit in the cache. Miss rate (MR) is the frequency of cache misses, while average miss penalty (AMP) is the cost of a cache miss in terms of time. Concretely it can be defined as follows.

  6. Network performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_performance

    The Deep Space Network implemented by NASA is one such system that must cope with these problems. Largely latency driven, the GAO has criticized the current architecture. [ 3 ] Several different methods have been proposed to handle the intermittent connectivity and long delays between packets, such as delay-tolerant networking .

  7. Computer performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_performance

    Latency is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. Latency is a result of the limited velocity with which any physical interaction can take place. This velocity is always lower or equal to speed of light.

  8. Memory latency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_latency

    Memory latency is the time (the latency) between initiating a request for a byte or word in memory until it is retrieved by a processor. If the data are not in the processor's cache , it takes longer to obtain them, as the processor will have to communicate with the external memory cells.
