  2. Batch processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_processing

    In order to ensure high-speed processing, batch applications are often integrated with grid computing solutions to partition a batch job over a large number of processors, although there are significant programming challenges in doing so. High volume batch processing places particularly heavy demands on system and application architectures as well.

  3. Comparison of real-time operating systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_real-time...

    This is a list of real-time operating systems (RTOSs). This is an operating system in which the time taken to process an input stimulus is less than the time lapsed until the next input stimulus of the same type.

  4. Real-time computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing

    The term "near real-time" or "nearly real-time" (NRT), in telecommunications and computing, refers to the time delay introduced, by automated data processing or network transmission, between the occurrence of an event and the use of the processed data, such as for display or feedback and control purposes. For example, a near-real-time display ...

  5. Real-time operating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_operating_system

    A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (OS) for real-time computing applications that processes data and events that have critically defined time constraints. An RTOS is distinct from a time-sharing operating system, such as Unix , which manages the sharing of system resources with a scheduler, data buffers, or fixed task ...

  6. Job scheduler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_scheduler

    A job scheduler is a computer application for controlling unattended background program execution of jobs. [1] This is commonly called batch scheduling, as execution of non-interactive jobs is often called batch processing, though traditional job and batch are distinguished and contrasted; see that page for details.

  7. Computer multitasking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking

    In multiprogramming systems, a task runs until it must wait for an external event or until the operating system's scheduler forcibly swaps the running task out of the CPU. Real-time systems such as those designed to control industrial robots, require timely processing; a single processor might be shared between calculations of machine movement ...

  8. Scheduling (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    In modern operating systems, this is used to make sure that real-time processes get enough CPU time to finish their tasks. [ 7 ] Long-term scheduling is also important in large-scale systems such as batch processing systems, computer clusters , supercomputers , and render farms .

  9. CPU time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_time

    CPU time (or process time) is the amount of time that a central processing unit (CPU) was used for processing instructions of a computer program or operating system. CPU time is measured in clock ticks or seconds. Sometimes it is useful to convert CPU time into a percentage of the CPU capacity, giving the CPU usage.
