- Asynchronous circuit, a sequential digital logic circuit not governed by a clock circuit or signal
- Asynchronous communication, transmission of data without the use of an external clock signal
Asynchronous cellular automaton, a mathematical model of discrete cells which update their state independently
Asynchronous operation, a sequence of operations executed out of time coincidence with any event
Asynchronous I/O, an Input and Output operations that allow a program to continue executing other tasks without waiting for data to be transferred.

Asynchrony (game theory), when players in games update their strategies at different time intervals
