  2. Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    The behavior of disk drives provides an example of mechanical latency. Here, it is the time seek time for the actuator arm to be positioned above the appropriate track and then rotational latency for the data encoded on a platter to rotate from its current position to a position under the disk read-and-write head .

  3. Latency stage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_stage

    The latency stage may begin around the age of 7 (the end of early childhood) and may continue until puberty, which happens around the age of 13.The age range is affected by childrearing practices; mothers in developed countries, during the time when Freud was forming his theories, were more likely to stay at home with young children, and adolescents began puberty on average later than ...

  4. Latent and observable variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_and_observable...

    Other latent variables correspond to abstract concepts, like categories, behavioral or mental states, or data structures. The terms hypothetical variables or hypothetical constructs may be used in these situations. The use of latent variables can serve to reduce the dimensionality of data. Many observable variables can be aggregated in a model ...

  5. PACELC theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PACELC_theorem

    The tradeoff between availability, consistency and latency, as described by the PACELC theorem. In database theory, the PACELC theorem is an extension to the CAP theorem.It states that in case of network partitioning (P) in a distributed computer system, one has to choose between availability (A) and consistency (C) (as per the CAP theorem), but else (E), even when the system is running ...

  6. Latent learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_learning

    In latent learning, one changes behavior only when there is sufficient motivation later than when they subconsciously retained the information. [1] Latent learning is when the observation of something, rather than experiencing something directly, can affect later behavior. Observational learning can be many things. A human observes a behavior ...

  7. 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.

  8. Manifest and latent functions and dysfunctions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_and_latent...

    A latent function of a behavior is not explicitly stated, recognized, or intended by the people involved. Thus, they are identified by observers. [5] In the example of rain ceremony, the latent function reinforces the group identity by providing a regular opportunity for the members of a group to meet and engage in a common activity. [4]

  9. Race condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition

    A race condition or race hazard is the condition of an electronics, software, or other system where the system's substantive behavior is dependent on the sequence or timing of other uncontrollable events, leading to unexpected or inconsistent results. It becomes a bug when one or more of the possible behaviors is undesirable.
