Timing failure
- REDIRECT Template:Expert needed
Template:Redirect category shell Timing failure is a failure in a time related process in machinery or computing. This can be where timing failures refer to "a situation where the environment in which a system operates does not behave as expected regarding the timing assumptions, that is, the timing constraints are not met."<ref name="l234">Template:Cite conference</ref>
ComputingEdit
In computing, it refers to a timing failure or error in process, or part of a process, in a synchronous distributed system or real-time system to meet limits set on execution time, message delivery, clock drift rate, or clock skew.<ref name="g357">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="e059">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="k248">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Asynchronous distributed systems cannot be said to have timing failures as guarantees are not provided for response times.
MachineryEdit
In engineering and mechanics a timing failure typically refers to an issue with the timing belt of an engine.<ref name="t376">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="f925">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
