In 2002 a Canadian company, Userful Corporation, released Userful Multiplier, a multiseat Linux software solution that enables up to 10 users to simultaneously share one computer. [3] Earlier they worked on a kernel-based approach to a multi-station platform computer, but abandoned the idea due to a problem with multiple video card support.
Monitors using blocking condition variables are often called Hoare-style monitors or signal-and-urgent-wait monitors. A Hoare style monitor with two condition variables a and b. After Buhr et al. We assume there are two queues of threads associated with each monitor object e is the entrance queue; s is a queue of threads that have signaled.
Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) is a computing module plug-in format available for adding computing capability to flat panel displays. The format was first announced by NEC , Intel , and Microsoft in 2010.
A second display or second displays is a common term describing the multi-monitor setup with just one additional monitor attached. Today it is particularly common to have one workstation with two monitors connected where the second monitor is referred to as the second display. Many tablets will serve as a second display connected to a laptop. [22]
Voldemort does not try to satisfy arbitrary relations and the ACID properties, but rather is a big, distributed, persistent hash table. [2] A 2012 study comparing systems for storing application performance management data reported that Voldemort, Apache Cassandra, and HBase all offered linear scalability in most cases, with Voldemort having the lowest latency and Cassandra having the highest ...
A multiple-sync (multisync) monitor, also known as a multiscan or multimode monitor, is a raster-scan analog video monitor that can properly synchronise with multiple horizontal and vertical scan rates. [1] [2] In contrast, fixed frequency monitors can only synchronise
The shared resource is a data object, which two or more concurrent threads are trying to modify (where two concurrent read operations are permitted but, no two concurrent write operations or one read and one write are permitted, since it leads to data inconsistency). Mutual exclusion algorithms ensure that if a process is already performing ...
Hot swapping is used whenever it is desirable to change the configuration or repair a working system without interrupting its operation. [3] It may simply be for convenience of avoiding the delay and nuisance of shutting down and then restarting complex equipment or because it is essential for equipment, such as a server, to be continuously active.
