  2. Process state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_state

    A process moves into the running state when it is chosen for execution. The process's instructions are executed by one of the CPUs (or cores) of the system. There is at most one running process per CPU or core. A process can run in either of the two modes, namely kernel mode or user mode. [1] [2]

  3. Phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

    This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions. In physics, chemistry, and other related fields like biology, a phase transition (or phase change) is the physical process of transition between one state of a medium and another.

  4. State diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_diagram

    A state diagram for a door that can only be opened and closed. A state diagram is used in computer science and related fields to describe the behavior of systems. State diagrams require that the system is composed of a finite number of states. Sometimes, this is indeed the case, while at other times this is a reasonable abstraction.

  5. UML state machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UML_state_machine

    The UML specification [1] prescribes that a transition involves exiting all nested states from the current active state (which might be a direct or transitive substate of the main source state) up to, but not including, the least common ancestor (LCA) state of the main source and main target states. As the name indicates, the LCA is the lowest ...

  6. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    A phase diagram in physical chemistry, engineering, mineralogy, and materials science is a type of chart used to show conditions (pressure, temperature, etc.) at which thermodynamically distinct phases (such as solid, liquid or gaseous states) occur and coexist at equilibrium.

  7. Reaction coordinate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_coordinate

    Reaction coordinates are special order parameters that describe the entire pathway from reactants through transition states and on to products. Depending on the application, reaction coordinates may be defined by using chemically intuitive variables like bond lengths, or splitting probabilities (also called committors), or using the ...

  8. Unified process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Process

    It is customary to write full-text use cases during the construction phase and each one becomes the start of a new iteration. Common Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams used during this phase include activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams, state transition diagrams and interaction overview diagrams. Iterative ...

  9. State-transition table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-transition_table

    Now if the machine is in the state S 1 and receives an input of 0 (first column), the machine will transition to the state S 2. In the state diagram, the former is denoted by the arrow looping from S 1 to S 1 labeled with a 1, and the latter is denoted by the arrow from S 1 to S 2 labeled with a 0.
