  2. Real-time database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_database

    Real-time databases may be modified to improve accuracy and efficiency and to avoid conflict, by providing deadlines and wait periods to insure temporal consistency. Real-time database systems offer a way of monitoring a physical system and representing it in data streams to a database. A data stream, like memory, fades over time.

  3. Busy waiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

    The scheduler is given the information needed to implement priority inheritance or other mechanisms to avoid starvation. Busy-waiting itself can be made much less wasteful by using a delay function (e.g., sleep()) found in most operating systems. This puts a thread to sleep for a specified time, during which the thread will waste no CPU time.

  4. Temporal database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_database

    Valid time is the time period during or event time at which a fact is true in the real world. Transaction time is the time at which a fact was recorded in the database. Decision time is the time at which the decision was made about the fact. Used to keep a history of decisions about valid times.

  5. Transmission time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_time

    The round-trip time or ping time is the time from the start of the transmission from the sending node until a response (for example an ACK packet or ping ICMP response) is received at the same node. It is affected by packet delivery time as well as the data processing delay, which depends on the load on the responding node. If the sent data ...

  6. Online transaction processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_transaction_processing

    An OLTP system is an accessible data processing system in today's enterprises. Some examples of OLTP systems include order entry, retail sales, and financial transaction systems. [5] Online transaction processing systems increasingly require support for transactions that span a network and may include more than one company.

  7. Staging (data) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staging_(data)

    In other cases data might be brought into the staging area to be processed at different times; or the staging area may be used to push data to multiple target systems. As an example, daily operational data might be pushed to an operational data store (ODS) while the same data may be sent in a monthly aggregated form to a data warehouse.

  8. Head-of-line blocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-of-line_blocking

    One form of HOL blocking in HTTP/1.1 is when the number of allowed parallel requests in the browser is used up, and subsequent requests need to wait for the former ones to complete. HTTP/2 addresses this issue through request multiplexing, which eliminates HOL blocking at the application layer, but HOL still exists at the transport (TCP) layer.

  9. Real-time data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_data

    There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided. Real-time data is often used for navigation or tracking. [1] Such data is usually processed using real-time computing although it can also be stored for later or off-line data analysis. Real-time data is not the same as dynamic data. Real-time data can be dynamic (e.g. a variable ...
