  2. Busy waiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

    Spinning can also be used to generate an arbitrary time delay, a technique that was necessary on systems that lacked a method of waiting a specific length of time. Processor speeds vary greatly from computer to computer, especially as some processors are designed to dynamically adjust speed based on current workload. [ 1 ]

  3. Shortest remaining time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_remaining_time

    Shortest remaining time being executed. Shortest remaining time, also known as shortest remaining time first (SRTF), is a scheduling method that is a preemptive version of shortest job next scheduling. In this scheduling algorithm, the process with the smallest amount of time remaining until completion is selected to execute. Since the ...

  4. Futures and promises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises

    A timeout can also be specified on the wait using the wait_for() or wait_until() member functions to avoid indefinite blocking. If the future arose from a call to std::async then a blocking wait (without a timeout) may cause synchronous invocation of the function to compute the result on the waiting thread.

  5. Residual time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_time

    In queueing theory, it determines the remaining time, that a newly arriving customer to a non-empty queue has to wait until being served. [ 1 ] In wireless networking , it determines, for example, the remaining lifetime of a wireless link on arrival of a new packet.

  6. Infinite loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop

    In computer programming, an infinite loop (or endless loop) [1] [2] is a sequence of instructions that, as written, will continue endlessly, unless an external intervention occurs, such as turning off power via a switch or pulling a plug.

  7. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    Starting with Ruby version 1.9.2 (released on 18 August 2010), the bug with year 2038 is fixed, [16] by storing time in a signed 64-bit integer on systems with 32-bit time_t. [17] Starting with NetBSD version 6.0 (released in October 2012), the NetBSD operating system uses a 64-bit time_t for both 32-bit and 64-bit

  8. Time delay neural network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_delay_neural_network

    The precise architecture of TDNNs (time-delays, number of layers) is mostly determined by the designer depending on the classification problem and the most useful context sizes. The delays or context windows are chosen specific to each application. Work has also been done to create adaptable time-delay TDNNs [10] where this manual tuning is ...

  9. SCOOP (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCOOP_(software)

    The wait condition will cause the execution of item to be delayed until such time as has_item holds. In the Eiffel Software implementation, if SCOOP is not enabled, the separate keyword is ignored and sequential processing is assumed.
