On Windows 95 (with Internet Explorer 4.0 or later), Windows 98 and Windows Me, the Task Scheduler runs as an ordinary program, mstask.exe. It also displays a status icon in the notification area on Windows 95 and Windows 98 and runs as a hidden service on Windows Me, but can be made to show a tray icon. [ 1 ]
Time-triggered architecture (abbreviated as TTA), also known as a time-triggered system, is a computer system that executes one or more sets of tasks according to a predetermined and set task schedule. [1] Implementation of a TT system will typically involve use of a single interrupt that is linked to the periodic overflow of a timer.
The scheduler is an operating system module that selects the next jobs to be admitted into the system and the next process to run. Operating systems may feature up to three distinct scheduler types: a long-term scheduler (also known as an admission scheduler or high-level scheduler), a mid-term or medium-term scheduler, and a short-term scheduler.
In a multiprocessing environment with more than one logical processor (i.e. multiple cores or hyperthreading), more than one task can be running at the same time. However, a process or a thread can be set to run on only a subset of the available logical processors. The Windows Task Manager utility offers a user interface for this at the process ...
A job scheduler is a computer application for controlling unattended background program execution of jobs. [1] This is commonly called batch scheduling , as execution of non-interactive jobs is often called batch processing , though traditional job and batch are distinguished and contrasted; see that page for details.
Cooperative multitasking was the primary scheduling scheme for 16-bit applications employed by Microsoft Windows before Windows 95 and Windows NT, and by the classic Mac OS. Windows 9x used non-preemptive multitasking for 16-bit legacy applications, and the PowerPC Versions of Mac OS X prior to Leopard used it for classic applications. [1]
Windows 3.1: Windows Task Scheduler: Allows users to script tasks for running during scheduled intervals taskschd.msc: Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95: Software installation and deployment: Windows Update: An online service providing updates such as service packs, critical updates and device drivers.
Parallel task scheduling (also called parallel job scheduling [1] [2] or parallel processing scheduling [3]) is an optimization problem in computer science and operations research. It is a variant of optimal job scheduling .
