Latency
(gcide) | Latency \La"ten*cy\, n. [See Latent.]
1. The state or quality of being latent.
[1913 Webster]
To simplify the discussion, I shall distinguish
three degrees of this latency. --Sir W.
Hamilton.
[1913 Webster]
2. The time between a stimulus the appearance of the
response; the time between any causal action and the first
appearance of the effect. Called also latent period.
[PJC]
3. Hence: (Med.) The time between exposure to a carcinogen or
other disease-causing agent and the appearance of the
consequent disease.

latency
(wn) | latency
n 1: (computer science) the time it takes for a specific block
of data on a data track to rotate around to the read/write
head [syn: rotational latency, latency]
2: the time that elapses between a stimulus and the response to
it [syn: reaction time, response time, latency, {latent
period}]
3: the state of being not yet evident or active |
latency
(foldoc) | latency
1. The time it takes for a packet to cross
a network connection, from sender to receiver.
2. The period of time that a frame is held by a network device
before it is forwarded.
Two of the most important parameters of a communications
channel are its latency, which should be low, and its
bandwidth, which should be high. Latency is particularly
important for a synchronous protocol where each packet
must be acknowledged before the next can be transmitted.

rotational latency
(foldoc) | rotational latency
The time for the start of the required
sector on a disk to appear underneath the {read/write
head}. The worst case is where it has just passed the head
when the request is received. For a disk drive with N heads
per surface, rotating at R revolutions per minute, the average
rotational latency will be
L = 30/NR seconds.
Rotational latency is one component of access time.
