2. Computer multitasking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking

   Often multitasking operating systems include measures to change the priority of individual tasks, so that important jobs receive more processor time than those considered less significant. Depending on the operating system, a task might be as large as an entire application program, or might be made up of smaller threads that carry out portions ...

3. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

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

   Conceptually, it is similar to cooperative multi-tasking used in real-time operating systems, in which tasks voluntarily give up execution time when they need to wait upon some type of event. This type of multithreading is known as block, cooperative or coarse-grained multithreading.

4. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

   For example, concurrent processes can be executed on one core by interleaving the execution steps of each process via time-sharing slices: only one process runs at a time, and if it does not complete during its time slice, it is paused, another process begins or resumes, and then later the original process is resumed. In this way, multiple ...

5. List of concurrent and parallel programming languages

   This article lists concurrent and parallel programming languages, categorizing them by a defining paradigm.Concurrent and parallel programming languages involve multiple timelines.

6. Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_(computer_science)

   For example, Lee and Sangiovanni-Vincentelli have demonstrated that a so-called "tagged-signal" model can be used to provide a common framework for defining the denotational semantics of a variety of different models of concurrency, [11] while Nielsen, Sassone, and Winskel have demonstrated that category theory can be used to provide a similar ...

7. Work stealing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_stealing

   In parallel computing, work stealing is a scheduling strategy for multithreaded computer programs. It solves the problem of executing a dynamically multithreaded computation, one that can "spawn" new threads of execution, on a statically multithreaded computer, with a fixed number of processors (or cores).

8. Real-time operating system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_operating_system

   A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (OS) for real-time computing applications that processes data and events that have critically defined time constraints. An RTOS is distinct from a time-sharing operating system, such as Unix , which manages the sharing of system resources with a scheduler, data buffers, or fixed task ...

9. Thread pool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pool

   Using a thread pool may be useful even putting aside thread startup time. There are implementations of thread pools that make it trivial to queue up work, control concurrency and sync threads at a higher level than can be done easily when manually managing threads. [4] [5] In these cases the performance benefits of use may be secondary.
