  2. Processor affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_affinity

    Processor affinity, or CPU pinning or "cache affinity", enables the binding and unbinding of a process or a thread to a central processing unit (CPU) or a range of CPUs, so that the process or thread will execute only on the designated CPU or CPUs rather than any CPU.

  3. Thundering herd problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundering_herd_problem

    In computer science, the thundering herd problem occurs when a large number of processes or threads waiting for an event are awoken when that event occurs, but only one process is able to handle the event. When the processes wake up, they will each try to handle the event, but only one will win.

    Die of AMD 8088. The 8088 was designed at Intel's laboratory in Haifa, Israel, as were a large number of Intel's processors. [9] The 8088 was targeted at economical systems by allowing the use of an eight-bit data path and eight-bit support and peripheral chips; complex circuit boards were still fairly cumbersome and expensive when it was released.

  5. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

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

    Another area of research is what type of events should cause a thread switch: cache misses, inter-thread communication, DMA completion, etc. If the multithreading scheme replicates all of the software-visible state, including privileged control registers and TLBs, then it enables virtual machines to be created for each thread. This allows each ...

  6. Interrupt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt

    A hardware interrupt is a condition related to the state of the hardware that may be signaled by an external hardware device, e.g., an interrupt request (IRQ) line on a PC, or detected by devices embedded in processor logic (e.g., the CPU timer in IBM System/370), to communicate that the device needs attention from the operating system (OS) [7] or, if there is no OS, from the bare metal ...

  7. Spinlock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinlock

    In software engineering, a spinlock is a lock that causes a thread trying to acquire it to simply wait in a loop ("spin") while repeatedly checking whether the lock is available. Since the thread remains active but is not performing a useful task, the use of such a lock is a kind of busy waiting .

  9. Cache manifest in HTML5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_manifest_in_HTML5

    If the web application exceeds more than one page then each page must have a manifest attribute that points to the cache manifest. Every page referencing the manifest will be stored locally. [6] The cache manifest file is a text file located in another part of the server. It must be served with content type text/cache-manifest [7]
