  2. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multithreading_(computer...

    Only when the data for the previous thread had arrived, would the previous thread be placed back on the list of ready-to-run threads. For example: Cycle i: instruction j from thread A is issued. Cycle i + 1: instruction j + 1 from thread A is issued. Cycle i + 2: instruction j + 2 from thread A is issued, which is a load instruction that misses ...

  4. Bit array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_array

    A bit array (also known as bitmask, [1] bit map, bit set, bit string, or bit vector) is an array data structure that compactly stores bits. It can be used to implement a simple set data structure . A bit array is effective at exploiting bit-level parallelism in hardware to perform operations quickly.

  5. Comparison of programming languages (strings) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    C (along with Python) allows juxtaposition for string literals, however, for strings stored as character arrays, the strcat function must be used. COBOL uses the STRING statement to concatenate string variables. MATLAB and Octave use the syntax "[x y]" to concatenate x and y.

  6. Task parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_parallelism

    Task parallelism emphasizes the distributed (parallelized) nature of the processing (i.e. threads), as opposed to the data (data parallelism). Most real programs fall somewhere on a continuum between task parallelism and data parallelism. [3] Thread-level parallelism (TLP) is the parallelism inherent in an application that runs multiple threads ...

  7. Thread (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    A process with two threads of execution, running on one processor Program vs. Process vs. Thread Scheduling, Preemption, Context Switching. In computer science, a thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler, which is typically a part of the operating system. [1]

  8. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    In computing, a process is the instance of a computer program that is being executed by one or many threads. There are many different process models, some of which are light weight, but almost all processes (even entire virtual machines) are rooted in an operating system (OS) process which comprises the program code, assigned system resources ...

  9. Compare-and-swap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compare-and-swap

    A general solution to this is to use a double-length CAS (DCAS). E.g., on a 32-bit system, a 64-bit CAS can be used. The second half is used to hold a counter. The compare part of the operation compares the previously read value of the pointer and the counter, with the current pointer and counter. If they match, the swap occurs - the new value ...
