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.
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).
PyTouhou is a free and open-source reimplementation of Touhou 6 engine in Python and now Rust by three French programmers: Emmanuel Gil Peyrot, Thibaut Girka and Gauvain Roussel-Tarbouriech. While the Python branch is mostly complete, albeit for a few bugs, the Rust branch is still a work-in-progress.
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.
The difference between wait-free and lock-free is that wait-free operation by each process is guaranteed to succeed in a finite number of steps, regardless of the other processors. In general, a lock-free algorithm can run in four phases: completing one's own operation, assisting an obstructing operation, aborting an obstructing operation, and ...
The cron command-line utility is a job scheduler on Unix-like operating systems.Users who set up and maintain software environments use cron to schedule jobs [1] (commands or shell scripts), also known as cron jobs, [2] [3] to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals. [4]
The Linux Desktop Testing Project (LDTP) is a testing tool that uses computer assistive technology [7] to automate graphical user interface (GUI) testing. [8] The GUI functionality of an application can be tested in Linux, macOS, Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, and embedded system environments. [9]
