handshaking
- noun
- /ˈhændˌʃeɪkɪŋ/
- Specialized
- The synchronous data transmission protocol is fast and simple, and there is no handshaking overhead.
Examples
-
However, there is some overhead associated with handshaking, so it is not possible to achieve a throughput rate of one output per cycle.

The usual handshaking protocols are not needed in this case because the previously raised XI hit ensures that this cluster is the current BSN bus master.

We also assumed that six cycles are used for handshaking per block of input data.

The handshaking for broadcast operations between L2 and PU due to cross-cache interrogation is emulated by the L2 chip.
Academic text (1997) -
This accomplishes two results: 1) it eliminates clock skew problems that result from global synchronization, and 2) it reduces overhead due to asynchronous handshaking.
Academic text (2000) -
It is attractive for use in multiprocessor systems because the overhead of data transmission (handshaking, buffer management, etc.) is averaged over a large amount of data and it minimizes the amount of coordination or synchronization needed between processors.

Etymology
Handshaking in computing uses the same image as a people greeting and comes from hand + shake. It means two devices send short messages like a 'greeting' to 'agree' on how they will talk before they send real data.
