Latency

[audio] Latency refers to a short period of delay (usually measured in milliseconds) between when an audio signal enters and when it emerges from a system. Potential contributors to latency in an audio system include analog-to-digital conversion, buffering, digital signal processing, transmission time, digital-to-analog conversion and the s...

Latency

[customer] Latency in the retail sense is defined as the time between two customer events, such as a first and second purchase. For example, if Sam buys a pair of casual shoes on July 1, 2012, and then returns to buy dress shoes on August 1, 2012, then his latency can be calculated as 32 days (calculation). Not all customer events need be p...

latency

Latency is the time a computer spends waiting before a download (or other data request) starts. It's slightly different from bandwidth. Bandwidth is the time required to move the data. If you have a low-latency or "low ping" connection, your downloads start sooner. If you have a high-bandwidth connection, your downloads finish sooner. Think of a ga...

latency

Time taken for requested data to arrive. A performance indicator in any communications protocol, not directly related to bit rate. Latency in packet networks is affected by techniques such as ARQ, SAW and DSMA. Dirty tricks such as spoofing are sometimes used to improve latency. See also jitter.

Latency

Latency is the technical term for the delays in computer systems caused by both distance and processing. Distance creates latency because of simple physics. Messages travel at the speed of light and over long distances the delays are measurable. Processing creates latency by delaying messages at every instance where a process occurs.

Latency

In computing, latency is the time taken for the start of a given sector of data on a storage disk or drum to reach the read/write head. The smaller the latency value, the faster data is transferred to and from the storage device.

Latency

(Lat. latere, to be hidden) (a) In metaphysics, the term latency is equivalent to potency or potentiality. See Potentiality. (b) In epistemology and psychology, the term is applied to knowledge, e.g. memory, which lies dormant in the mind but is capable of becoming actual and explicit (see W. Hamilton, Lectures on Metaphysics, xviii, cited by J. M....
