    This 16th-century fish stall shows many traditional fish products. The term fish processing refers to the processes associated with fish and fish products between the time fish are caught or harvested, and the time the final product is delivered to the customer. Although the term refers specifically to fish, in practice it is extended to cover ...

    However, most 32-bit applications will work well. 64-bit users are forced to install a virtual machine of a 16- or 32-bit operating system to run 16-bit applications or use one of the alternatives for NTVDM. [39] Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" and Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" had only a 32-bit kernel, but they can run 64-bit user-mode code on 64-bit processors.

    Execution of process creation system call by a running process. A user request to create a new process. Initiation of a batch job. When an operating system is booted, typically several processes are created. Some of these are foreground processes, that interact with a (human) user and perform work for them.

  7. Embedded operating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_operating_system

    An Embedded Operating System (EOS) is an operating system designed specifically for embedded computer systems. These systems aim to enhance functionality and reliability to perform dedicated tasks. [ 1] When the multitasking method employed allows for timely task execution, such an OS may qualify as a real-time operating system (RTOS).

  8. Calling convention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calling_convention

    Calling convention. In computer science, a calling convention is an implementation -level (low-level) scheme for how subroutines or functions receive parameters from their caller and how they return a result. [ 1] When some code calls a function, design choices have been taken for where and how parameters are passed to that function, and where ...
