  2. Time of flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_flight

    Time of flight (ToF) is the measurement of the time taken by an object, particle or wave (be it acoustic, electromagnetic, etc.) to travel a distance through a medium. This information can then be used to measure velocity or path length, or as a way to learn about the particle or medium's properties (such as composition or flow rate).

  3. Time-of-flight camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-flight_camera

    Time of flight of a light pulse reflecting off a target. A time-of-flight camera (ToF camera), also known as time-of-flight sensor (ToF sensor), is a range imaging camera system for measuring distances between the camera and the subject for each point of the image based on time-of-flight, the round trip time of an artificial light signal, as provided by a laser or an LED.

  4. Earliest deadline first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earliest_deadline_first...

    Earliest deadline first (EDF) or least time to go is a dynamic priority scheduling algorithm used in real-time operating systems to place processes in a priority queue. Whenever a scheduling event occurs (task finishes, new task released, etc.) the queue will be searched for the process closest to its deadline.

  5. Time of arrival - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_arrival

    The peak at time = 5 is a measure of the time shift between the recorded waveforms, which is also the value needed for equation 3. Figure 4b shows the same type of simulation for a wide-band waveform from the emitter. The time shift is 5 time units because the geometry and wave speed is the same as the Figure 4a example.

  6. I/O scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I/O_scheduling

    To minimize the effect this has on system performance, most I/O schedulers implement a variant of the elevator algorithm that reorders the incoming randomly ordered requests so the associated data would be accessed with minimal head movement. I/O schedulers can have many purposes depending on the goals; common purposes include the following

  7. Pseudo-range multilateration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-range_multilateration

    Pseudo-range multilateration, often simply multilateration (MLAT) when in context, is a technique for determining the position of an unknown point, such as a vehicle, based on measurement of biased times of flight (TOFs) of energy waves traveling between the vehicle and multiple stations at known locations.

  8. Single-machine scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-machine_scheduling

    Single-machine scheduling or single-resource scheduling is an optimization problem in computer science and operations research.We are given n jobs J 1, J 2, ..., J n of varying processing times, which need to be scheduled on a single machine, in a way that optimizes a certain objective, such as the throughput.

  9. Rate-monotonic scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-monotonic_scheduling

    In computer science, rate-monotonic scheduling (RMS) [1] is a priority assignment algorithm used in real-time operating systems (RTOS) with a static-priority scheduling class. [2] The static priorities are assigned according to the cycle duration of the job, so a shorter cycle duration results in a higher job priority.
