  2. Commit charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commit_charge

    The program Process Explorer reports the same set of values, labeling the Total as Current, and additionally providing percentages of Peak and Current towards the Limit value. The commit charge increases when any program is opened and used, and goes down when a program is closed.

  3. Task Manager (Windows) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_Manager_(Windows)

    Task Manager, previously known as Windows Task Manager, is a task manager, system monitor, and startup manager included with Microsoft Windows systems. It provides information about computer performance and running software, including names of running processes, CPU and GPU load, commit charge, I/O details, logged-in users, and Windows services.

  4. svchost.exe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svchost

    Svchost.exe (Service Host, or SvcHost) is a system process that can host one or more Windows services in the Windows NT family of operating systems. [1] Svchost is essential in the implementation of shared service processes, where a number of services can share a process in order to reduce resource consumption.

  5. CPU-bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU-bound

    Furthermore, in modern computers it is possible to have 100% CPU utilization with minimal impact to another component. Finally, tasks required of modern computers often emphasize quite different components, so that resolving a bottleneck for one task may not affect the performance of another.

  6. Load (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    An idle computer has a load number of 0 (the idle process is not counted). Each process using or waiting for CPU (the ready queue or run queue) increments the load number by 1. Each process that terminates decrements it by 1. Most UNIX systems count only processes in the running (on CPU) or runnable (waiting for CPU) states.

  7. Windows Update - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Update

    In 2013, it was observed that shortly after the startup process, Automatic Updates (wuauclt.exe) and Service Host (svchost.exe) in Windows XP would claim 100% of a computer's CPU capacity for extended periods of time (between ten minutes to two hours), making affected computers unusable.

  8. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

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

    A process with two threads of execution, running on a single processor . In computer architecture, multithreading is the ability of a central processing unit (CPU) (or a single core in a multi-core processor) to provide multiple threads of execution.

  9. I/O bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I/O_bound

    At this point, the CPU sits idle. The CPU-bound process will then move back to the ready queue and be allocated the CPU. Again, all the I/O processes end up waiting in the ready queue until the CPU-bound process is done. There is a convoy effect as all the other processes wait for the one big process to get off the CPU. This effect results in ...
