  2. Thread (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    A process with two threads of execution, running on one processor Program vs. Process vs. Thread Scheduling, Preemption, Context Switching. In computer science, a thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler, which is typically a part of the operating system.

  3. Arabic typography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_typography

    Some Arabic computer fonts are calligraphic, for example Arial, Courier New, and Times New Roman. They look as if they were written with a brush or oblong pen, akin to how serifs originated in stone inscriptionals. Other fonts, like Tahoma and Noto Sans Arabic, use a mono-linear style more akin to sans-serif Latin scripts. Monolinear means that ...

  4. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multithreading_(computer...

    Only when the data for the previous thread had arrived, would the previous thread be placed back on the list of ready-to-run threads. For example: Cycle i: instruction j from thread A is issued. Cycle i + 1: instruction j + 1 from thread A is issued. Cycle i + 2: instruction j + 2 from thread A is issued, which is a load instruction that misses ...

  5. Threaded code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threaded_code

    In computer science, threaded code is a programming technique where the code has a form that essentially consists entirely of calls to subroutines.It is often used in compilers, which may generate code in that form or be implemented in that form themselves.

  6. Threading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading

    Threading may refer to: Thread (computing), a programming technique; Threading (epilation), a hair removal method; Threading (manufacturing), the process of making a screw thread; Threading (protein sequence), a method for computational protein structure prediction; Threaded code, another programming technique

  7. Explicit multi-threading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_multi-threading

    Explicit Multi-Threading (XMT) is a computer science paradigm for building and programming parallel computers designed around the parallel random-access machine (PRAM) parallel computational model. A more direct explanation of XMT starts with the rudimentary abstraction that made serial computing simple: that any single instruction available ...

  8. Synchronization (computer science) - Wikipedia

    Similarly, when the thread leaves the section, the flag is incremented. If the flag is zero, the thread cannot access the section and gets blocked if it chooses to wait. Some semaphores would allow only one thread or process in the code section. Such Semaphores are called binary semaphore and are very similar to Mutex.

  9. Fiber (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_(computer_science)

    In computer science, a fiber is a particularly lightweight thread of execution. Like threads, fibers share address space. However, fibers use cooperative multitasking while threads use preemptive multitasking. Threads often depend on the kernel's thread scheduler to preempt a busy thread and resume another thread; fibers yield themselves to run ...
