Industry:Computer
In multitasking operating systems, such as the SunOS operating system, processes run for a fixed time quantum. At the end of the time quantum, the CPU receives a signal from the timer, interrupts the currently running process, and prepares to run a new process. The CPU saves the registers for the old process, and then loads the registers for the new process. Switching from the old process state to the new is known as a context switch. Time spent switching contexts is system overhead; the time required depends on the number of registers, and on whether there are special instructions to save the registers associated with a process.
Industry:Computer
A general entity that contains XML and therefore is parsed when inserted into the XML document, as opposed to an unparsed entity.
Industry:Computer
In IEEE arithmetic, a number created from a value that otherwise overflows or underflows by adding a fixed offset to its exponent to position the wrapped value in the normal number range. Wrapped results are not currently produced on SPARC workstations.
Industry:Computer
A general entity that contains something other than XML. By its nature, an unparsed entity contains binary data.
Industry:Computer
In IEEE arithmetic, a nonzero floating point number with a biassed exponent of zero. The subnormal numbers are those between zero and the smallest normal number.
Industry:Computer
A fully associative cache with m entries is an m-way set associative cache. That is, it has a single set with m blocks. A cache entry can reside in any of the m blocks within that set. See also cache, cache locality, direct mapped cache, false sharing, set associative cache, write-invalidate, write-update.
Industry:Computer
In general, an XML structure in which one or more elements contains text intermixed with subelements. See also data.
Industry:Computer
A framework for building server-side user interfaces for Web applications written in the Java programming language.
