  2. Input/output automaton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input/output_automaton

    It has input actions of the form send(m) i,j, and output actions of the form receive(m) i,j. Each message m may contain 0 or 1 (m ∈ {0,1}). Each message m may contain 0 or 1 (m ∈ {0,1}). The state of the automaton stores a FIFO queue of all messages that have been sent but not yet received.

  3. Async/await - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Async/await

    First, the async keyword indicates to C# that the method is asynchronous, meaning that it may use an arbitrary number of await expressions and will bind the result to a promise. [1]: 165–168 The return type, Task<T>, is C#'s analogue to the concept of a promise, and here is indicated to have a result value of type int.

  4. Asynchronous I/O - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_I/O

    This approach is called asynchronous input/output. Any task that depends on the I/O having completed (this includes both using the input values and critical operations that claim to assure that a write operation has been completed) still needs to wait for the I/O operation to complete, and thus is still blocked, but other processing that does ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_(synchronization)

    This was a spurious wakeup, some other thread occurred // first and caused the condition to become false again, and we must // wait again. wait (m, cv); // Temporarily prevent any other thread on any core from doing // operations on m or cv. // release(m) // Atomically release lock "m" so other // // code using this concurrent data // // can ...

  6. Polling (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    A poll message is a control-acknowledgment message.. In a multidrop line arrangement (a central computer and different terminals in which the terminals share a single communication line to and from the computer), the system uses a master/slave polling arrangement whereby the central computer sends message (called polling message) to a specific terminal on the outgoing line.

  7. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

    The exact timing of when tasks in a concurrent system are executed depends on the scheduling, and tasks need not always be executed concurrently. For example, given two tasks, T1 and T2: [citation needed] T1 may be executed and finished before T2 or vice versa (serial and sequential) T1 and T2 may be executed alternately (serial and concurrent)

  8. Task (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    A task is performed on a set of targets on a specific schedule. A unit of computation. In a parallel job, two or more concurrent tasks work together through message passing and shared memory. Although it is common to allocate one task per physical or logical processor, the terms "task" and "processor" are not interchangeable.

  9. 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.
