  2. Computer multitasking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking

    Preemptive multitasking was implemented in the PDP-6 Monitor and Multics in 1964, in OS/360 MFT in 1967, and in Unix in 1969, and was available in some operating systems for computers as small as DEC's PDP-8; it is a core feature of all Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, Solaris and BSD with its derivatives, [7] as well as modern ...

  4. Parallel computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing

    Grid computing is the most distributed form of parallel computing. It makes use of computers communicating over the Internet to work on a given problem. Because of the low bandwidth and extremely high latency available on the Internet, distributed computing typically deals only with embarrassingly parallel problems.

  5. Operating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system

    On modern personal computers, users often want to run several applications at once. In order to ensure that one program cannot monopolize the computer's limited hardware resources, the operating system gives each application a share of the resource, either in time (CPU) or space (memory).

  6. Control unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_unit

    All modern CPUs have control logic to attach the CPU to the rest of the computer. In modern computers, this is usually a bus controller. When an instruction reads or writes memory, the control unit either controls the bus directly, or controls a bus controller. Many modern computers use the same bus interface for memory, input and output.

  7. Software incompatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_incompatibility

    Software incompatibility is a characteristic of software components or systems which cannot operate satisfactorily together on the same computer, or on different computers linked by a computer network. They may be components or systems which are intended to operate cooperatively or independently.
