  2. List of HTTP status codes - Wikipedia

    It alerts the client to wait for a final response. The message consists only of the status line and optional header fields, and is terminated by an empty line. As the HTTP/1.0 standard did not define any 1xx status codes, servers must not [ note 1 ] send a 1xx response to an HTTP/1.0 compliant client except under experimental conditions.

  3. Thundering herd problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundering_herd_problem

    In computer science, the thundering herd problem occurs when a large number of processes or threads waiting for an event are awakened when that event occurs, but only one process is able to handle the event. When the processes wake up, they will each try to handle the event, but only one will win.

  4. Resource contention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_contention

    In computer science, resource contention is a conflict over access to a shared resource such as random access memory, disk storage, cache memory, internal buses or external network devices. A resource experiencing ongoing contention can be described as oversubscribed.

  5. Test and test-and-set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_and_Test-and-set

    In computer architecture, the test-and-set CPU instruction (or instruction sequence) is designed to implement mutual exclusion in multiprocessor environments. Although a correct lock can be implemented with test-and-set, the test and test-and-set optimization lowers resource contention caused by bus locking, especially cache coherency protocol overhead on contended locks.

    Downloading Event - it will download all the resources given in the manifest file. Progress Event - contains information of how many files have been downloaded and how many files are left to be downloaded. Cached Event - occurs once all the files have been downloaded and the offline web application is equipped to be used offline.

  7. Wait-for graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait-For_Graph

    A wait-for graph in computer science is a directed graph used for deadlock detection in operating systems and relational database systems.. In computer science, a system that allows concurrent operation of multiple processes and locking of resources and which does not provide mechanisms to avoid or prevent deadlock must support a mechanism to detect deadlocks and an algorithm for recovering ...

  8. Non-blocking algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm

    An algorithm is lock-free if, when the program threads are run for a sufficiently long time, at least one of the threads makes progress (for some sensible definition of progress). All wait-free algorithms are lock-free. In particular, if one thread is suspended, then a lock-free algorithm guarantees that the remaining threads can still make ...

  9. Distributed lock manager - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_lock_manager

    A lock value block is associated with each resource. This can be read by any process that has obtained a lock on the resource (other than a null lock) and can be updated by a process that has obtained a protected update or exclusive lock on it. It can be used to hold any information about the resource that the application designer chooses.
