Editing Timing failure

{{expert|Computing|date=January 2025}}
'''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">{{cite conference | last=Taubenfeld | first=G. | title=26th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'06) | chapter=Computing in the Presence of Timing Failures | date=2006 | publisher=IEEE | doi=10.1109/icdcs.2006.21 | doi-access=free | chapter-url=http://www.faculty.idc.ac.il/gadi/MyPapers/2006T-timingFailures.pdf | access-date=2025-04-11 | page=16–16| isbn=0-7695-2540-7 }}</ref>

==Computing==
In computing, it refers to a timing failure or error in [[Process (computing)|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">{{cite web | last=Joshi | first=Vaidehi | title=Modes of Failure (Part 1).

==Machinery==
In [[engineering]] and [[mechanics]] a timing failure typically refers to an issue with the [[Timing belt (camshaft)|timing belt]] of an [[engine]].<ref name="t376">{{cite web | title=Major Causes of Timing Failure | url=https://www.ntn-snr.com/sites/default/files/2017-03/defaillances_possibles_des_courroies_en.pdf | access-date=2025-04-11}}</ref><ref name="f925">{{cite web | title=SKF | website=SKF | url=https://vehicleaftermarket.skf.com/uk/en/blog/skf-mechanic/timing-system-issues | access-date=2025-04-11}}</ref>
