    NTFS, COBOL, [18] Win32/Win64 (NT time epoch) [19] [20] 1601 was the first year of the 400-year Gregorian calendar cycle at the time Windows NT was made. [19] 31 December 1840: MUMPS programming language: 1841 was a non-leap year several years before the birth year of the oldest living US citizen when the language was designed. [21] 17 November ...

  3. System time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_time

    In computer science and computer programming, system time represents a computer system's notion of the passage of time. In this sense, time also includes the passing of days on the calendar . System time is measured by a system clock , which is typically implemented as a simple count of the number of ticks that have transpired since some ...

  4. Batch processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_processing

    A batch window is "a period of less-intensive online activity", [11] when the computer system is able to run batch jobs without interference from, or with, interactive online systems. A bank's end-of-day (EOD) jobs require the concept of cutover , where transaction and data are cut off for a particular day's batch activity ("deposits after 3 PM ...

  5. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    The problem exists in systems which measure Unix time—the number of seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970)—and store it in a signed 32-bit integer. The data type is only capable of representing integers between −(2 31 ) and 2 31 − 1 , meaning the latest time that can be properly encoded is 2 31 − 1 ...

    Go—for system programming, with a concurrent programming model based on CSP; Haskell—concurrent, and parallel functional programming language [14] Hume—functional, concurrent, for bounded space and time environments where automata processes are described by synchronous channels patterns and message passing; Io—actor-based concurrency

  7. Epoch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch

    An epoch in astronomy is a reference time used for consistency in calculation of positions and orbits. A common astronomical epoch is J2000, which is noon on January 1, 2000, Terrestrial Time. An epoch in Geochronology is a time period, typically in the order of tens of millions of years. The current epoch is the Holocene.

  8. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. [33] Python is dynamically type-checked and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional ...

  9. Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_(computer_science)

    The base goals of concurrent programming include correctness, performance and robustness. Concurrent systems such as Operating systems and Database management systems are generally designed [ by whom? ] to operate indefinitely, including automatic recovery from failure, and not terminate unexpectedly (see Concurrency control ).
