1. 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 classic example. Such applications often require special operating systems (because everything else must take a back seat to response time) and speed-tuned hardware.

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.

Glossary of Electronic Music Terms
real time
Occurring at the same time as other, usually human, activities. In real-time sequence recording, timing information is encoded along with the note data by analyzing the timing of the input. In real-time editing, changes in parameter settings can be heard immediately, without the need to play a new note or wait for computational processes to be completed.

Real time.
Time in a computational process which runs at the same rate as a physical process; for example, algorithms designed to run a fixed period t (filter time constants at set for t) and actually execute with frequency 1/t execute in real time; Avionics systems must run in real time;

Real-Time
A transmission or data processing operating mode where data is entered in an interactive session. This pertains to an application where response to input is fast enough to affect subsequent input, such as a process-control system or computer-aided design system.

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Real-time computing
In computer science, real-time computing (RToC) is the study of hardware and software systems which are subject to a "real-time constraint"—i.e., operational deadlines from event to system response. By contrast, a non-real-time system is one for which there is no deadline, even if fast response or high performance is desired or even preferred. The needs of real-time software are often addressed in the context of real-time operating systems, and synchronous programming languages, which provide frameworks on which to build real-time application software.
