  2. Operating environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_environment

    In computer software, an operating environment or integrated applications environment is the environment in which users run application software. The environment consists of a user interface provided by an applications manager and usually an application programming interface (API) to the applications manager.

  3. Containerization (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Containerization_(computing)

    In software engineering, containerization is operating-system–level virtualization or application-level virtualization over multiple network resources so that software applications can run in isolated user spaces called containers in any cloud or non-cloud environment, regardless of type or vendor.

  4. Operating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system

    An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs. Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also include accounting software for cost allocation of processor time , mass storage , peripherals, and ...

  5. Computing platform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing_platform

    For example, in a single computer system, this would be the computer's architecture, operating system (OS), and runtime libraries. [2] In the case of an application program or a computer video game , the most relevant layer is the operating system, so it can be called a platform itself (hence the term cross-platform for software that can be ...

  6. Heterogeneous computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_computing

    Usually heterogeneity in the context of computing refers to different instruction-set architectures (ISA), where the main processor has one and other processors have another - usually a very different - architecture (maybe more than one), not just a different microarchitecture (floating point number processing is a special case of this - not usually referred to as heterogeneous).

  7. List of operating systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_operating_systems

    Cambridge CAP computeroperating system demonstrated the use of security capabilities, both in hardware and software, also a useful fileserver, implemented in ALGOL 68C Flex machine – Custom microprogrammable hardware, with an operating system, (modular) compiler, editor, * garbage collector and filing system all written in ALGOL 68 .

  8. Runtime system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runtime_system

    For example, environment variables are features of many operating systems, and are part of the runtime environment; a running program can access them via the runtime system. Likewise, hardware devices such as disks or DVD drives are active entities that a program can interact with via a runtime system.

  9. Deployment environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deployment_environment

    In software deployment, an environment or tier is a computer system or set of systems in which a computer program or software component is deployed and executed. In simple cases, such as developing and immediately executing a program on the same machine, there may be a single environment, but in industrial use, the development environment (where changes are originally made) and production ...
