  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Programmable interval timer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_Interval_Timer

    In computing and in embedded systems, a programmable interval timer (PIT) is a counter that generates an output signal when it reaches a programmed count. The output signal may trigger an interrupt .

  5. IronPython - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IronPython

    It is free and open-source software, and can be implemented with Python Tools for Visual Studio, which is a free and open-source extension for Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE. [2] [3] IronPython is written entirely in C#, although some of its code is automatically generated by a code generator written in Python.

  6. Epoch (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    Software timekeeping systems vary widely in the resolution of time measurement; some systems may use time units as large as a day, while others may use nanoseconds.For example, for an epoch date of midnight UTC (00:00) on 1 January 1900, and a time unit of a second, the time of the midnight (24:00) between 1 January 1900 and 2 January 1900 is represented by the number 86400, the number of ...

  7. 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.

  8. C date and time functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_date_and_time_functions

    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

  9. Exponential backoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff

    The time delay is usually measured in slots, which are fixed-length periods (or slices) of time on the network. In a binary exponential backoff algorithm (i.e. one where b = 2 ), after c collisions, each retransmission is delayed by a random number of slot times between 0 and 2 c − 1 .
