Asynchronous memory
[/ˌeɪsɪŋˈkrɒnəs ˈmɛməri/]
nounpl: Asynchronous memories
memória assíncrona
1. A type of computer memory where read and write operations are not synchronized with a clock signal, allowing data transfers to occur at variable speeds based on handshake protocols
Asynchronous memory is commonly used in older computer systems where timing flexibility is more important than synchronized speed.
A memória assíncrona é comumente usada em sistemas de computador mais antigos onde a flexibilidade de temporização é mais importante que a velocidade sincronizada.
2. Memory that operates independently of system clock cycles, using control signals to manage data flow between the CPU and memory
The device utilizes asynchronous memory to enable communication between components operating at different clock frequencies.
O dispositivo utiliza memória assíncrona para permitir comunicação entre componentes operando em frequências de relógio diferentes.
This is primarily a technical term used in computer science and electrical engineering fields. It is used identically in Brazil, Portugal, and English-speaking countries as part of international technical vocabulary. The term reflects the evolution of computer architecture from asynchronous to synchronous memory designs as computing speeds increased.
