Processes that are not synchronized, allowing for actions to happen independently at different times. Frequently used in computing and networking to refer to data transmission where operations occur independently.
A device driver is a specialized program that allows a computer to communicate with a hardware peripheral such as a printer, keyboard, or sound card, enabling the hardware to perform its dedicated functions effectively.
In computer usage, full duplex refers to the transmission of data in two directions simultaneously, allowing for more efficient communication.
A parallel port is an output device that allows a computer to transmit data to another device using parallel data transmission—several bits sent simultaneously over separate wires. PC parallel ports are usually designated as LPT1, LPT2, and so on. This is in contrast to a serial port, which transmits data sequentially, one bit at a time.
