2. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

   For example, concurrent processes can be executed on one core by interleaving the execution steps of each process via time-sharing slices: only one process runs at a time, and if it does not complete during its time slice, it is paused, another process begins or resumes, and then later the original process is resumed. In this way, multiple ...

3. Computer multitasking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking

   Often multitasking operating systems include measures to change the priority of individual tasks, so that important jobs receive more processor time than those considered less significant. Depending on the operating system, a task might be as large as an entire application program, or might be made up of smaller threads that carry out portions ...

4. Thread pool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pool

   A sample thread pool (green boxes) with waiting tasks (blue) and completed tasks (yellow) In computer programming, a thread pool is a software design pattern for achieving concurrency of execution in a computer program.

5. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

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

   Conceptually, it is similar to cooperative multi-tasking used in real-time operating systems, in which tasks voluntarily give up execution time when they need to wait upon some type of event. This type of multithreading is known as block, cooperative or coarse-grained multithreading.

6. Simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_and...

   Simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading (SHMT) is a software framework that takes advantage of heterogeneous computing systems that contain a mixture of central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and special purpose machine learning hardware, for example Tensor Processing Units (TPUs).

7. Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

   For example, Lee and Sangiovanni-Vincentelli have demonstrated that a so-called "tagged-signal" model can be used to provide a common framework for defining the denotational semantics of a variety of different models of concurrency, [11] while Nielsen, Sassone, and Winskel have demonstrated that category theory can be used to provide a similar ...

8. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

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

   Another example is a task that has been decomposed into cooperating but partially independent processes which can run simultaneously (i.e., using concurrency, or true parallelism – the latter model is a particular case of concurrent execution and is feasible whenever multiple CPU cores are available for the processes that are ready to run).

9. 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 ...
