  2. Commit charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commit_charge

    Similar displays in the Task Manager of Windows Vista and later have been changed to reflect usage of physical memory. In Task Manager's "Processes" display, each process's contribution to the "total commit charge" is shown in the "VM size" column in Windows XP and Server 2003. The same value is labeled "Commit size" in Windows Vista and later ...

  3. Usage share of operating systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating...

    While some analysts count tablets with desktops (as some of them run Windows), others count them with mobile phones (as the vast majority of tablets run so-called mobile operating systems, such as Android or iOS on the iPad). iPad has a clear lead globally, but has clearly lost the majority to Android in South America, [245] and a number of ...

  4. CPU-bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU-bound

    The term can also refer to the condition a computer running such a workload is in, in which its processor utilization is high, perhaps at 100% usage for many seconds or minutes, and interrupts generated by peripherals may be processed slowly or be indefinitely delayed. [citation needed]

  5. Hibernation (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    Windows 2000 is the first Windows to support hibernation at the operating system level (OS-controlled ACPI S4 sleep state) without special drivers from the hardware manufacturer. A hidden system file named " hiberfil.sys " in the root of the boot partition is used to store the contents of RAM when the computer hibernates.

  6. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)

    For a description of the potential problem, a 3.3 V rail may have a 10 A rating by itself (33 W), and the 5 V rail may have a 20 A rating (100 W) by itself, but the two together may only be able to output 110 W. In this case, loading the 3.3 V rail to maximum (33 W), would leave the 5 V rail only able to output 77 W.

  7. Backward compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_compatibility

    For instance, earlier PlayStation 2 (PS2) systems used the core of the original PlayStation (PS1) CPU as a dual-purpose processor, either as the main CPU for PS1 mode or upclocking itself to offload I/O in PS2 mode. This coprocessor was replaced with a PowerPC-based processor in later systems to serve the same functions, emulating the PS1 CPU core.

  8. Benchmark (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    A graphical demo running as a benchmark of the OGRE engine. In computing, a benchmark is the act of running a computer program, a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative performance of an object, normally by running a number of standard tests and trials against it.

  9. Computer fan control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan_control

    Typically a fan can be driven between about 30% and 100% of the rated fan speed, using a signal with up to 100% duty cycle. The exact speed behavior at low control levels (linear, off until a threshold value, or a minimum speed until a threshold) is manufacturer dependent.
