  2. Intel Inspector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Inspector

    Intel Inspector (previously known as Intel Thread Checker) is a memory and thread checking and debugging tool to increase the reliability, security, and accuracy of C/C++ and Fortran applications. Reliability: Find deadlocks and memory errors that cause lockups & crashes; Security: Find memory and threading vulnerabilities used by hackers

  3. System Idle Process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Idle_Process

    In Windows NT operating systems, the System Idle Process contains one or more kernel threads which run when no other runnable thread can be scheduled on a CPU. In a multiprocessor system, there is one idle thread associated with each CPU core. For a system with hyperthreading enabled, there is an idle thread for each logical processor.

  4. Thread control block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_control_block

    Thread Control Block (TCB) is a data structure in an operating system kernel that contains thread-specific information needed to manage the thread. [1] The TCB is "the manifestation of a thread in an operating system." Each thread has a thread control block. An operating system keeps track of the thread control blocks in kernel memory. [2]

  5. Win32 Thread Information Block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Win32_Thread_Information_Block

    The Thread Information Block (TIB) or Thread Environment Block (TEB) is a data structure in Win32 on x86 that stores information about the currently running thread. It descended from, and is backward-compatible on 32-bit systems with, a similar structure in OS/2. [1] The TIB is officially undocumented for Windows 9x.

  6. GNU Portable Threads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Portable_Threads

    GNU Pth (Portable Threads) is a POSIX/ANSI-C based user space thread library for UNIX platforms that provides priority-based scheduling for multithreading applications. GNU Pth targets for a high degree of portability. It is part of the GNU Project. [1] Pth also provides API emulation for POSIX threads for backward compatibility.

  7. Windows Subsystem for Linux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux

    Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a feature of Microsoft Windows that allows for using a Linux environment without the need for a separate virtual machine or dual booting. WSL is installed by default in Windows 11. [2] In Windows 10, it can be installed either by joining the Windows Insider program or manually via Microsoft Store or Winget. [3]

  8. Spurious wakeup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spurious_wakeup

    The Linux p-thread implementation of condition variables guarantees that it will not do that. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Because spurious wakeup can happen, when a thread wakes after waiting on a condition variable, it should always check that the condition it sought is still satisfied.

  9. Daemon (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computing)

    Components of some Linux desktop environments that are daemons include D-Bus, NetworkManager (here called unetwork), PulseAudio (usound), and Avahi.. In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon (/ ˈ d iː m ən / or / ˈ d eɪ m ən /) [1] is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user.
