  2. Scheduling (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  3. Glossary of computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_computer_science

    A field of computer science that studies distributed systems. A distributed system is a system whose components are located on different networked computers, which communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages to one another. [100] The components interact with one another in order to achieve a common goal.

  4. Instruction scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_scheduling

    In computer science, instruction scheduling is a compiler optimization used to improve instruction-level parallelism, which improves performance on machines with instruction pipelines. Put more simply, it tries to do the following without changing the meaning of the code: Avoid pipeline stalls by rearranging the order of instructions. [1]

  5. Interval scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_scheduling

    Interval scheduling is a class of problems in computer science, particularly in the area of algorithm design. The problems consider a set of tasks. The problems consider a set of tasks. Each task is represented by an interval describing the time in which it needs to be processed by some machine (or, equivalently, scheduled on some resource).

    Given a description of the possible initial states of the world, a description of the desired goals, and a description of a set of possible actions, the planning problem is to synthesize a plan that is guaranteed (when applied to any of the initial states) to generate a state which contains the desired goals (such a state is called a goal state).

  8. Round-robin scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_scheduling

    A Round Robin preemptive scheduling example with quantum=3. Round-robin (RR) is one of the algorithms employed by process and network schedulers in computing. [1] [2] As the term is generally used, time slices (also known as time quanta) [3] are assigned to each process in equal portions and in circular order, handling all processes without priority (also known as cyclic executive).

  9. Computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science

    Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. [1] [2] [3] Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software).
