  2. Busy waiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

    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. If the loop is checking something simple then it will spend most of its time asleep and will waste very little CPU time.

  3. Sleep (system call) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_(system_call)

    An uninterruptible sleep state is a sleep state that will not handle a signal right away. It will wake only as a result of a waited-upon resource becoming available or after a time-out occurs during that wait (if specified when put to sleep). It is mostly used by device drivers waiting for disk or network IO (input/output).

  4. Async/await - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Async/await

    Because of this, if an interface method needs to return a promise object, but itself does not require await in the body to wait on any asynchronous tasks, it does not need the async modifier either and can instead return a promise object directly.

  5. 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 .

  6. Spinlock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinlock

    With large numbers of processors, adding a random exponential backoff delay before re-checking the lock performs even better than TTAS. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] A few multi-core processors have a "power-conscious spin-lock" instruction that puts a processor to sleep, then wakes it up on the next cycle after the lock is freed.

    Getting the head coach and play-caller right this time will solve many problems for the second-year quarterback and a talented group of pass-catchers. San Francisco 49ers Build the offensive line.

  8. Time delay neural network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_delay_neural_network

    Matlab: The neural network toolbox has explicit functionality designed to produce a time delay neural network give the step size of time delays and an optional training function. The default training algorithm is a Supervised Learning back-propagation algorithm that updates filter weights based on the Levenberg-Marquardt optimizations.

    Fasting simply means to abstain from food or drink for a period of time - though water and zero-calorie beverages such as tea or black coffee are often permitted.
