  2. Response-prompting procedures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response-prompting_procedures

    The time delay prompt procedures are different from SLP and MTL procedures because instead of removing prompts by progressing through a hierarchy, prompts are removed by delaying them in time. The progressive time delay procedure was developed first, [ 12 ] and the constant time delay procedure was developed as a more parsimonious procedure for ...

  3. Event dispatching thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_dispatching_thread

    This means GIT is a shared data structure and some synchronization is needed to ensure that only one thread accesses it at a time. Though AWT and Swing expose the ( thread unsafe ) methods to create and access the GUI components and these methods are visible to all application threads, likewise in other GUI frameworks, only a single, Event ...

  4. Busy waiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

    Busy-waiting itself can be made much less wasteful by using a delay function (e.g., sleep()) found in most operating systems. This puts a thread to sleep for a specified time, during which the thread will waste no CPU time. If the loop is checking something simple then it will spend most of its time asleep and will waste very little CPU time.

  5. Java remote method invocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_remote_method_invocation

    A typical implementation model of Java-RMI using stub and skeleton objects. Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v1.2 removed the need for a skeleton. The Java Remote Method Invocation (Java RMI) is a Java API that performs remote method invocation, the object-oriented equivalent of remote procedure calls (RPC), with support for direct transfer of serialized Java classes and distributed garbage ...

  6. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer programming, a function (also procedure, method, subroutine, routine, or subprogram) is a callable unit [1] of software logic that has a well-defined interface and behavior and can be invoked multiple times. Callable units provide a powerful programming tool. [2]

  7. Futures and promises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises

    In computer science, futures, promises, delays, and deferreds are constructs used for synchronizing program execution in some concurrent programming languages.Each is an object that acts as a proxy for a result that is initially unknown, usually because the computation of its value is not yet complete.

  8. Just-in-time compilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation

    JIT causes a slight to noticeable delay in the initial execution of an application, due to the time taken to load and compile the input code. Sometimes this delay is called "startup time delay" or "warm-up time". In general, the more optimization JIT performs, the better the code it will generate, but the initial delay will also increase.

  9. Java concurrency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_concurrency

    To synchronize threads, Java uses monitors, which are a high-level mechanism for allowing only one thread at a time to execute a region of code protected by the monitor. The behavior of monitors is explained in terms of locks ; there is a lock associated with each object.
