| comp., MS | asynchronous agent | 非同步代理程式 (A task that follows the actor pattern and uses an asynchronous message queue to communicate with other similar tasks. Agents let you take advantage of coarse-grained task parallelism in your applications) |
| comp., MS | asynchronous call | 非同步呼叫 (A method call that returns to the caller immediately regardless of whether processing has completed. The results of processing are returned through another call on another thread. Asynchronous methods free the caller from having to wait until processing has finished) |
| comp., MS | asynchronous communication | 非同步通訊 (A form of data transmission in which information is sent and received at irregular intervals, one character at a time. Because data is received at irregular intervals, the receiving modem must be signaled to let it know when the data bits of a character begin and end. This is done by means of start and stop bits) |
| comp., MS | asynchronous communication layer | 非同步通訊層 (The layer of AJAX functionality that takes care of communication between the browser and the server) |
| comp., MS | asynchronous device | 非同步裝置 (A device whose internal operations are not synchronized with the timing of any other part of the system) |
| comp., MS | asynchronous method call | 非同步方法呼叫 (A method call that returns to the caller immediately regardless of whether processing has completed. The results of processing are returned through another call on another thread. Asynchronous methods free the caller from having to wait until processing has finished) |
| comp., MS | asynchronous operation | 非同步作業 (A process whose execution can proceed independently or in the background. Other processes may be started before the asynchronous process has finished) |
| comp., MS | asynchronous pattern | 非同步模式 (A core technology in the .NET Framework which provides an efficient model to manage asynchronous operations and a consistent programming model) |
| comp., MS | asynchronous postback | 非同步回傳 (In ASP.NET, the process of sending Web page data (plus viewstate and other necessary metadata) from the browser to the server without a complete postback and without blocking the user from continuing to work in the page. Asynchronous postbacks are an important feature of AJAX technology) |
| comp., MS | asynchronous procedure call | 非同步程序呼叫 (A function call that executes separately from an executing program when a set of enabling conditions exist. After the conditions have been met, the operating system's kernel issues a software interrupt and directs the executing program to execute the call) |
| comp., MS | asynchronous transfer mode | 非同步傳輸模式 (A high-speed, connection-oriented, virtual circuit-based packet switching protocol used to transport many different types of network traffic. ATM packages data in 53-byte, fixed-length cells that can be switched quickly between logical connections on a network) |
| comp., MS | event-based asynchronous pattern | 事件架構非同步模式 (A design pattern that uses events to expose asynchronous features of a class) |
