  2. Template:Time interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Time_interval

    The result displays text representing the time interval from date1 to date2 (date2 − date1). Dates are UTC—local times and time zones are not supported. Dates are checked for validity. For example, 29 February 2000 is accepted, but 29 February 1900 is not a valid date. Each date can include an era or a time, and a variety of formats are ...

  3. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    A unit of time is any particular time interval, used as a standard way of measuring or expressing duration. The base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI), and by extension most of the Western world , is the second , defined as about 9 billion oscillations of the caesium atom.

  4. Unit interval (data transmission) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_interval_(data...

    The unit interval is the minimum time interval between condition changes of a data transmission signal, also known as the pulse time or symbol duration time. A unit interval (UI) is the time taken in a data stream by each subsequent pulse (or symbol). When UI is used as a measurement unit of a time interval, the resulting measure of such time ...

    converts a time_t value to calendar time expressed as local time mktime: converts calendar time to a time_t value. Constants CLOCKS_PER_SEC: number of processor clock ticks per second TIME_UTC: time base for UTC Types struct tm: broken-down calendar time type: year, month, day, hour, minute, second time_t

  6. Delta timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_timing

    Delta time or delta timing is a concept used amongst programmers in relation to hardware and network responsiveness. [1] In graphics programming, the term is usually used for variably updating scenery based on the elapsed time since the game last updated, [2] (i.e. the previous "frame") which will vary depending on the speed of the computer, and how much work needs to be done in the program at ...

  7. Chronon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronon

    For example, ordered pairs of events (A, B) and (B, C) could each be separated by slightly more than 1 Planck time: this would produce a measurement limit of 1 Planck time between A and B or B and C, but a limit of 3 Planck times between A and C. [citation needed] The chronon is a quantization of the evolution in a system along its world line.

  8. Interval scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_scheduling

    Interval scheduling is a class of problems in computer science, particularly in the area of algorithm design. The problems consider a set of tasks. Each task is represented by an interval describing the time in which it needs to be processed by some machine (or, equivalently, scheduled on some resource). For instance, task A might run from 2:00 ...

  9. Exponential backoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff

    In a simple version of the algorithm, messages are delayed by predetermined (non-random) time. For example, in SIP protocol over unreliable transport (such as UDP) the client retransmits requests at an interval that starts at T1 seconds (usually, 500 ms, which is the estimate of the round-trip time) and doubles after every retransmission until ...
