  3. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

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

    From the software standpoint, hardware support for multithreading is more visible to software, requiring more changes to both application programs and operating systems than multiprocessing. Hardware techniques used to support multithreading often parallel the software techniques used for computer multitasking. Thread scheduling is also a major ...

  4. Thread (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    A process with two threads of execution, running on one processor Program vs. Process vs. Thread Scheduling, Preemption, Context Switching. In computer science, a thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler, which is typically a part of the operating system. [1]

  5. Processor affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_affinity

    Scheduling a CPU-intensive process that has few interrupts to execute on the same processor may improve its performance by reducing degrading events such as cache misses, but may slow down ordinary programs because they would need to wait for that CPU to become available again. [1]

  6. Scheduling (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    The short-term scheduler (also known as the CPU scheduler) decides which of the ready, in-memory processes is to be executed (allocated a CPU) after a clock interrupt, an I/O interrupt, an operating system call or another form of signal. Thus the short-term scheduler makes scheduling decisions much more frequently than the long-term or mid-term ...

  7. Out-of-order execution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-order_execution

    The first machine to use out-of-order execution was the CDC 6600 (1964), designed by James E. Thornton, which uses a scoreboard to avoid conflicts. It permits an instruction to execute if its source operand (read) registers aren't to be written to by any unexecuted earlier instruction (true dependency) and the destination (write) register not be a register used by any unexecuted earlier ...

  8. FIFO (computing and electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFO_(computing_and...

    In computing environments that support the pipes-and-filters model for interprocess communication, a FIFO is another name for a named pipe.. Disk controllers can use the FIFO as a disk scheduling algorithm to determine the order in which to service disk I/O requests, where it is also known by the same FCFS initialism as for CPU scheduling mentioned before.

  9. Multilevel feedback queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilevel_feedback_queue

    In general, a multilevel feedback queue scheduler is defined by the following parameters: [6] The number of queues. The scheduling algorithm for each queue which can be different from FIFO. The method used to determine when to promote a process to a higher priority queue. The method used to determine when to demote a process to a lower-priority ...
