  2. Asynchronous method invocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_method_invocation

    In multithreaded computer programming, asynchronous method invocation (AMI), also known as asynchronous method calls or the asynchronous pattern is a design pattern in which the call site is not blocked while waiting for the called code to finish. Instead, the calling thread is notified when the reply arrives.

  3. Gasket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasket

    Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials. Given the potential cost and safety implications of faulty or leaking gaskets, it is critical that the correct gasket material is selected to fit the needs of the application. [3] Gaskets for specific applications, such as high pressure steam systems, may contain asbestos. However ...

  4. Activity selection problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_selection_problem

    Line 3: Sorts in increasing order of finish times the array of activities by using the finish times stored in the array . This operation can be done in O ( n ⋅ log ⁡ n ) {\displaystyle O(n\cdot \log n)} time, using for example merge sort, heap sort, or quick sort algorithms.

    Typical O-ring and application. An O-ring, also known as a packing or a toric joint, is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus; it is a loop of elastomer with a round cross-section, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, forming a seal at the interface.

  6. 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.

  7. Optimal job scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_job_scheduling

    The inputs to such problems are a list of jobs (also called processes or tasks) and a list of machines (also called processors or workers). The required output is a schedule – an assignment of jobs to machines. The schedule should optimize a certain objective function.

  8. Call stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_stack

    In computer science, a call stack is a stack data structure that stores information about the active subroutines of a computer program.This type of stack is also known as an execution stack, program stack, control stack, run-time stack, or machine stack, and is often shortened to simply the "stack".

  9. End of interrupt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_Of_Interrupt

    An end of interrupt (EOI) is a computing signal sent to a programmable interrupt controller (PIC) to indicate the completion of interrupt processing for a given interrupt. ...
