2. Computer multitasking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking

   Often multitasking operating systems include measures to change the priority of individual tasks, so that important jobs receive more processor time than those considered less significant. Depending on the operating system, a task might be as large as an entire application program, or might be made up of smaller threads that carry out portions ...

3. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multithreading_(computer...

   This type of multithreading is known as block, cooperative or coarse-grained multithreading. The goal of multithreading hardware support is to allow quick switching between a blocked thread and another thread ready to run. Switching from one thread to another means the hardware switches from using one register set to another.

4. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

   For example, concurrent processes can be executed on one core by interleaving the execution steps of each process via time-sharing slices: only one process runs at a time, and if it does not complete during its time slice, it is paused, another process begins or resumes, and then later the original process is resumed. In this way, multiple ...

5. Simultaneous multithreading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_multithreading

   Coarse-grain multithreading is more common for less context switch between threads. For example, Intel's Montecito processor uses coarse-grained multithreading, while Sun's UltraSPARC T1 uses fine-grained multithreading. For those processors that have only one pipeline per core, interleaved multithreading is the only possible way, because it ...

6. Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_(computer_science)

   For example, Lee and Sangiovanni-Vincentelli have demonstrated that a so-called "tagged-signal" model can be used to provide a common framework for defining the denotational semantics of a variety of different models of concurrency, [11] while Nielsen, Sassone, and Winskel have demonstrated that category theory can be used to provide a similar ...

7. Simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_and...

   Simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading (SHMT) is a software framework that takes advantage of heterogeneous computing systems that contain a mixture of central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and special purpose machine learning hardware, for example Tensor Processing Units (TPUs).

8. Thread pool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pool

   A sample thread pool (green boxes) with waiting tasks (blue) and completed tasks (yellow) In computer programming, a thread pool is a software design pattern for achieving concurrency of execution in a computer program.

9. Hyper-threading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading

   At that time, CMOS process technology was not advanced enough to allow for a cost-effective implementation. [11] Intel implemented hyper-threading on an x86 architecture processor in 2002 with the Foster MP-based Xeon. It was also included on the 3.06 GHz Northwood-based Pentium 4 in the same year, and then remained as a feature in every ...
