  2. Non-blocking algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm

    A follow-up paper by Kogan and Petrank [20] provided a method for making wait-free algorithms fast and used this method to make the wait-free queue practically as fast as its lock-free counterpart. A subsequent paper by Timnat and Petrank [21] provided an automatic mechanism for generating wait-free data structures from lock-free ones. Thus ...

  3. Blocking (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_(computing)

    An example is "blocking on a channel" where passively waiting for the other part (i.e. no polling or spin loop) is part of the semantics of channels. [3] Correctly engineered, any of these may be used to implement reactive systems. [clarification needed] Deadlock means that processes pathologically wait for each other in a circle. As such it is ...

  4. Asynchronous I/O - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_I/O

    Like the process method, but with lower overhead and without the data isolation that hampers coordination of the flows. Each LWP or thread itself uses traditional blocking synchronous I/O, which simplifies programming logic; this is a common paradigm used in many programming languages including Java and Rust.

  5. Busy waiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

    In computer science and software engineering, busy-waiting, busy-looping or spinning is a technique in which a process repeatedly checks to see if a condition is true, such as whether keyboard input or a lock is available. Spinning can also be used to generate an arbitrary time delay, a technique that was necessary on systems that lacked a ...

  6. Wait-for graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait-For_Graph

    A wait-for graph in computer science is a directed graph used for deadlock detection in operating systems and relational database systems.. In computer science, a system that allows concurrent operation of multiple processes and locking of resources and which does not provide mechanisms to avoid or prevent deadlock must support a mechanism to detect deadlocks and an algorithm for recovering ...

  7. These Are the Easiest Ways to Open a Jar When It's Stuck - AOL

    Place the jar on the counter and try easing the tip of a butter knife between the jar and the lid. This will create a wedge to help pop the seal. Once it's in there, give the lid a twist to help ...

  8. How to easily open a stuck jar - AOL

    www.aol.com/news/2015-04-17-how-to-easily-open-a...

    You might try to pry a jar open with a knife or run it under hot water, but there's actually much simpler way to open a stuck jar lid. Using the handle of a butter knife, simply tap four times ...

  9. wait (system call) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait_(system_call)

    In computer operating systems, a process (or task) may wait for another process to complete its execution. In most systems, a parent process can create an independently executing child process . The parent process may then issue a wait system call , which suspends the execution of the parent process while the child executes.
