  2. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    Values can be special conditioned with code in the case body. In practice, fallthrough is usually prevented with a break keyword at the end of the matching body, which exits execution of the switch block, but this can cause bugs due to unintentional fallthrough if the programmer forgets to insert the break statement.

  3. Instruction scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_scheduling

    Input dependence does not constrain the execution order of two statements, but it is useful in scalar replacement of array elements. To make sure we respect the three types of dependencies, we construct a dependency graph, which is a directed graph where each vertex is an instruction and there is an edge from I 1 to I 2 if I 1 must come before ...

  4. Memory ordering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_ordering

    Execution effects are visible at two levels: within the program code at a high level, and at the machine level as viewed by other threads or processing elements in concurrent programming, or during debugging when using a hardware debugging aid with access to the machine state (some support for this is often built directly into the CPU or ...

  5. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    Python supports conditional execution of code depending on whether a loop was exited early (with a break statement) or not by using an else-clause with the loop. For example, For example, for n in set_of_numbers : if isprime ( n ): print ( "Set contains a prime number" ) break else : print ( "Set did not contain any prime numbers" )

  6. Breakpoint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakpoint

    More generally, a breakpoint is a means of acquiring knowledge about a program during its execution. During the interruption, the programmer inspects the test environment (general-purpose registers, memory, logs, files, etc.) to find out whether the program is functioning as expected. In practice, a breakpoint consists of one or more conditions ...

  7. Memory barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_barrier

    Memory barriers are necessary because most modern CPUs employ performance optimizations that can result in out-of-order execution. This reordering of memory operations (loads and stores) normally goes unnoticed within a single thread of execution , but can cause unpredictable behavior in concurrent programs and device drivers unless carefully ...

  8. cron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron

    With the advent of the GNU Project and Linux, new crons appeared. The most prevalent of these is the Vixie cron, originally coded by Paul Vixie in 1987. Version 3 of Vixie cron was released in late 1993. Version 4.1 was renamed to ISC Cron and was released in January 2004. Version 3, with some minor bugfixes, is used in most distributions of ...

  9. Execution (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    Execution in computer and software engineering is the process by which a computer or virtual machine interprets and acts on the instructions of a computer program.Each instruction of a program is a description of a particular action which must be carried out, in order for a specific problem to be solved.
