  2. Semaphore (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaphore_(programming)

    The V operation is the inverse: it makes a resource available again after the process has finished using it. One important property of semaphore S is that its value cannot be changed except by using the V and P operations. A simple way to understand wait (P) and signal (V) operations is: wait: Decrements the value of the semaphore variable by 1.

  3. Active object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_object

    The active object design pattern decouples method execution from method invocation for objects that each reside in their own thread of control. [1] The goal is to introduce concurrency , by using asynchronous method invocation and a scheduler for handling requests.

  4. Yield (multithreading) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(multithreading)

    The Yield method is provided in various object-oriented programming languages with multithreading support, such as C# and Java. [2] OOP languages generally provide class abstractions for thread objects. yield in Kotlin

  5. Lock (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(computer_science)

    X indicates incompatibility, i.e, a case when a lock of the first type (in left column) on an object blocks a lock of the second type (in top row) from being acquired on the same object (by another transaction). An object typically has a queue of waiting requested (by transactions) operations with respective locks.

  6. Attribute (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    In object-oriented programming, classes can contain attributes and methods. An attribute in a relational database can be represented as a column or field. In computing, an attribute is a specification that defines a property of an object, element, or file. It may also refer to or set the specific value for a given instance of such.

  7. Context switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_switch

    Then the operating system calls the switch() routine to first save the general-purpose user registers of A onto A's kernel stack, then it saves A's current kernel register values into the PCB of A, restores kernel registers from the PCB of process B, and switches context, that is, changes kernel stack pointer to point to the kernel stack of ...

  8. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In the context of Visual Basic and Ada, Sub, short for subroutine or subprocedure, is the name of a callable that does not return a value whereas a Function does return a value Object-oriented languages such as C# and Java use the term method to refer to a member function of an object

  9. Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming

    Fields may also be known as members, attributes, or properties. Objects are typically stored as contiguous regions of memory. Objects are accessed somewhat like variables with complex internal structures, and in many languages are effectively pointers, serving as actual references to a single instance of said object in memory within a heap or ...
