41Race condition — in a logic circuit. Here, ∆t1 and ∆t2 represent the propagation delays of the logic elements. When the input value (A) changes, the circuit outputs a short spike of duration (∆t1+∆t2) ∆t2 = ∆t1. A race condition or race hazard is a flaw in an… …

45Universal Naming Convention — Abbreviated UNC. In Microsoft Windows NT Server, a scheme used to gain access to a shared resource. The general form of a UNC is: servernamesharenamepathfilename The servername portion identifies the name of the server where the… …
46Blocking (scheduling) — In a multitasking computer system, individual tasks, or threads of execution, must share the resources of the system. These resources might be:* the CPU * network * memory * diskor any other shared resource.When one task is using a resource, it… …
47Thrashing (computer science) — In computer science, thrashing is a situation where large amounts of computer resources are used to do a minimal amount of work, with the system in a continual state of resource contention.[1][2][3] Once started, thrashing is typically self… …
48Cache coherency — In computing, cache coherency (also cache coherence) refers to the integrity of data stored in local caches of a shared resource. Cache coherence is a special case of memory coherence.When clients in a system maintain caches of a common memory… …
49Simultaneous multithreading — Simultaneous multithreading, often abbreviated as SMT, is a technique for improving the overall efficiency of superscalar CPUs with hardware multithreading. SMT permits multiple independent threads of execution to better utilize the resources… …
50Bandwidth cap — A bandwidth cap, also known as a bit cap, limits the transfer of a specified amount of data over a period of time. Internet service providers commonly apply a cap when a channel intended to be shared by many users becomes overloaded, or may be… …
