  2. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

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

    Conceptually, it is similar to cooperative multi-tasking used in real-time operating systems, in which tasks voluntarily give up execution time when they need to wait upon some type of event. This type of multithreading is known as block, cooperative or coarse-grained multithreading.

  3. Real-time computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing

    Some examples of hard real-time systems: A car engine control system is a hard real-time system because a delayed signal may cause engine failure or damage. Medical systems such as heart pacemakers. Even though a pacemaker's task is simple, because of the potential risk to human life, medical systems like these are typically required to undergo ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_real-time...

    This is a list of real-time operating systems (RTOSs). This is an operating system in which the time taken to process an input stimulus is less than the time lapsed until the next input stimulus of the same type.

  5. Computer multitasking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking

    As a cooperatively multitasked system relies on each process regularly giving up time to other processes on the system, one poorly designed program can consume all of the CPU time for itself, either by performing extensive calculations or by busy waiting; both would cause the whole system to hang. In a server environment, this is a hazard that ...

    This article lists concurrent and parallel programming languages, categorizing them by a defining paradigm.Concurrent and parallel programming languages involve multiple timelines.

  7. Real-time operating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_operating_system

    A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (OS) for real-time computing applications that processes data and events that have critically defined time constraints. An RTOS is distinct from a time-sharing operating system, such as Unix , which manages the sharing of system resources with a scheduler, data buffers, or fixed task ...

  8. Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    Multi-threading and multi-processing (shared system resources) Synchronization (coordinating access to shared resources) Coordination (managing interactions between concurrent tasks) Concurrency Control (ensuring data consistency and integrity) Inter-process Communication (IPC, facilitating information exchange)

  9. Real-time business intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_business...

    Real-time business intelligence (RTBI) is a concept describing the process of delivering business intelligence (BI) or information about business operations as they occur. Real time means near to zero latency and access to information whenever it is required. [1] The speed of today's processing systems has allowed typical data warehousing to ...
