  2. List of volunteer computing projects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer...

    This is a comprehensive list of volunteer computing projects, which are a type of distributed computing where volunteers donate computing time to specific causes. The donated computing power comes from idle CPUs and GPUs in personal computers, video game consoles, [1] and Android devices.

  3. Minecraft modding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft_modding

    A Minecraft mod is a mod that changes aspects of the sandbox game Minecraft. Minecraft mods can add additional content to the game, make tweaks to specific features, and optimize performance. Thousands of mods for the game have been created, with some mods even generating an income for their authors.

  4. Multilevel feedback queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilevel_feedback_queue

    If a process uses too much CPU time, it will be moved to a lower-priority queue. If a process is I/O-bound or an interactive process, it will be moved to a higher-priority queue. If a process is waiting too long in a low-priority queue and starving, it will be aged to a higher-priority queue.

  5. Machine learning in video games - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning_in_video...

    The most publicly known application of machine learning in games is likely the use of deep learning agents that compete with professional human players in complex strategy games. There has been a significant application of machine learning on games such as Atari/ALE, Doom, Minecraft, StarCraft, and car racing. [1]

  6. Computer performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_performance

    A CPU designer is often required to implement a particular instruction set, and so cannot change N. Sometimes a designer focuses on improving performance by making significant improvements in f (with techniques such as deeper pipelines and faster caches), while (hopefully) not sacrificing too much C—leading to a speed-demon CPU design.

  7. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

    In many applications, the CPU and other components are idle much of the time, so idle power contributes significantly to overall system power usage. When the CPU uses power management features to reduce energy use, other components, such as the motherboard and chipset, take up a larger proportion of the computer's energy.

  8. Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)

    Latency, from a general point of view, is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. Lag, as it is known in gaming circles, refers to the latency between the input to a simulation and the visual or auditory response, often occurring because of network delay in online games.

  9. System Idle Process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Idle_Process

    However, the idle process does not use up computer resources (even when stated to be running at a high percent). Its CPU time "usage" is a measure of how much CPU time is not being used by other threads. In Windows 2000 and later the threads in the System Idle Process are also used to implement CPU power saving.
