1. the state of not occurring at the same time; lack of synchronization
Usage: technical
2. in computing, a method of data transmission where operations occur independently without a common clock signal
Usage: computing; technical

Examples

• The asynchronism between the two systems caused data transfer errors.
• Network protocols often rely on asynchronism to handle varying transmission speeds.
• The engineer had to account for asynchronism when designing the communication interface.
• Asynchronism in the database updates led to inconsistent results.
• The software uses asynchronism to prevent blocking operations.
• Understanding asynchronism is crucial for modern web development.
