  2. Message queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_queue

    Group communication systems provide similar kinds of functionality. The message queue paradigm is a sibling of the publisher/subscriber pattern, and is typically one part of a larger message-oriented middleware system. Most messaging systems support both the publisher/subscriber and message queue models in their API, e.g. Java Message Service ...

  3. Queue (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queue_(abstract_data_type)

    Queues provide services in computer science, transport, and operations research where various entities such as data, objects, persons, or events are stored and held to be processed later. In these contexts, the queue performs the function of a buffer. Another usage of queues is in the implementation of breadth-first search.

    In general, a multilevel feedback queue scheduler is defined by the following parameters: [6] The number of queues. The scheduling algorithm for each queue which can be different from FIFO. The method used to determine when to promote a process to a higher priority queue. The method used to determine when to demote a process to a lower-priority ...

  6. Message passing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing

    In computer science, message passing is a technique for invoking behavior (i.e., running a program) on a computer.The invoking program sends a message to a process (which may be an actor or object) and relies on that process and its supporting infrastructure to then select and run some appropriate code.

    Join Java [30] is a language based on the Java programming language allowing the use of the join calculus. It introduces three new language constructs: Join methods is defined by two or more Join fragments. A Join method will execute once all the fragments of the Join pattern have been called.

  8. Inter-process communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-process_communication

    Most operating systems Anonymous pipe: A unidirectional data channel using standard input and output. Data written to the write-end of the pipe is buffered by the operating system until it is read from the read-end of the pipe. Two-way communication between processes can be achieved by using two pipes in opposite "directions". All POSIX systems ...

  9. 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.
