1. real time
1. [techspeak] adj. Describes an
application which requires a program to respond to stimuli within some
small upper limit of response time (typically milli- or microseconds).
Process control at a chemical plant is the canonical
example. Such applications often require special operating systems
(because everything else must take a back seat to response time) and
speed-tuned hardware. 2. adv. In jargon, refers to
doing something while people are watching or waiting. “I asked her
how to find the calling procedure's program counter on the stack and she
came up with an algorithm in real time.”
