    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_case_screws

    Usually, the standoff has a #6-32 UNC male thread on one end which screws into a threaded hole in the case or motherboard backplate and a #6-32 UNC female thread in the other end which accepts a screw to retain the motherboard. Less often, the standoff has a female thread in both ends and a second screw is used to attach it to the case.

    A process with two threads of execution, running on one processor Program vs. Process vs. Thread Scheduling, Preemption, Context Switching. In computer science, a thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler, which is typically a part of the operating system.

    Only when the data for the previous thread had arrived, would the previous thread be placed back on the list of ready-to-run threads. For example: Cycle i: instruction j from thread A is issued. Cycle i + 1: instruction j + 1 from thread A is issued. Cycle i + 2: instruction j + 2 from thread A is issued, which is a load instruction that misses ...

  6. Memory barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_barrier

    Initially, memory locations x and f both hold the value 0. The software thread running on processor #1 loops while the value of f is zero, then it prints the value of x. The software thread running on processor #2 stores the value 42 into x and then stores the value 1 into f. Pseudo-code for the two program fragments is shown below.

  7. Thread-local storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread-local_storage

    In computer programming, thread-local storage (TLS) is a memory management method that uses static or global memory local to a thread. The concept allows storage of data that appears to be global in a system with separate threads. Many systems impose restrictions on the size of the thread-local memory block, in fact often rather tight limits.

  8. Barrel processor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_processor

    A technique called C-slowing can automatically generate a corresponding barrel processor design from a single-tasking processor design. An n -way barrel processor generated this way acts much like n separate multiprocessing copies of the original single-tasking processor, each one running at roughly 1/ n the original speed.

  9. Threaded code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threaded_code

    In computer science, threaded code is a programming technique where the code has a form that essentially consists entirely of calls to subroutines.It is often used in compilers, which may generate code in that form or be implemented in that form themselves.
