  2. Dynamic frequency scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_frequency_scaling

    Dynamic frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a power management technique in computer architecture whereby the frequency of a microprocessor can be automatically adjusted "on the fly" depending on the actual needs, to conserve power and reduce the amount of heat generated by the chip.

  3. Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling

    Limiting the speed of data sent by a data originator (a client computer or a server computer) is much more efficient than limiting the speed in an intermediate network device between client and server because while in the first case usually no network packets are lost, in the second case network packets can be lost / discarded whenever ingoing data speed overcomes the bandwidth limit or the ...

  4. Throttle (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle_(disambiguation)

    CPU throttling, computer hardware speed control, also known as dynamic frequency scaling; Bandwidth throttling, used to control the bandwidth that a network application can use; Throttling process (computing), software speed control

  5. Exponential backoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff

    Each sender not receiving a positive acknowledgement from the main computer would retransmit its “lost” packet. Abramson assumed that the sequence of packets transmitted into the shared channel is a Poisson process at rate G , which is the sum of the rate S of new packet arrivals to senders and the rate of retransmitted packets into the ...

  6. Scheduling (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    The scheduler is an operating system module that selects the next jobs to be admitted into the system and the next process to run. Operating systems may feature up to three distinct scheduler types: a long-term scheduler (also known as an admission scheduler or high-level scheduler), a mid-term or medium-term scheduler, and a short-term scheduler.

  7. Model of computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_of_computation

    In computer science, and more specifically in computability theory and computational complexity theory, a model of computation is a model which describes how an output of a mathematical function is computed given an input. A model describes how units of computations, memories, and communications are organized. [1]

    First-generation (vacuum tube-based) electronic digital computer. 1961 $18.672B: $190.38B A basic installation of IBM 7030 Stretch had a cost at the time of US$7.78 million each. The IBM 7030 Stretch performs one floating-point multiply every 2.4 microseconds. [78] Second-generation (transistor-based) computer. 1964 $2.3B: $22.595B

    (PLT) is a branch of computer science that deals with the design, implementation, analysis, characterization, and classification of programming languages and of their individual features. It falls within the discipline of computer science, both depending on and affecting mathematics, software engineering, linguistics and even cognitive science.
