A mode of operation in which two or more processes are each assigned a small, fixed amount of continuous processing time on the same processor, and the processes execute in a round-robin manner, each for its allotted time, until all are completed.
Industry:Computer; Software
A mode of operation in which two or more processes are executed concurrently by separate processing units that have access (usually) to a common main storage.
Industry:Computer; Software
A mode of operation in which two or more tasks are executed in an interleaved manner.
Industry:Computer; Software
A mode of operation that permits two or more users to execute computer programs concurrently on the same computer system by interleaving the execution of their program. Note: Time sharing may be implemented by time slicing, priority-based interrupts, or other scheduling methods.
Industry:Computer; Software
A model of the software development process in which the constituent activities, typically a concept phase, requirements phase, design phase, implementation phase, test phase, and installation and checkout phase, are performed in that order, possibly with overlap but with little or no iteration.
Industry:Computer; Software
A model of the software development process in which the constituent activities, typically requirements analysis, preliminary and detailed design, coding, integration, and testing, are performed iteratively until the software is complete.
Industry:Computer; Software
A model used in computer performance evaluation, depicting resource utilization and performance measures for anticipated or actual workloads in a computer system.
Industry:Computer; Software
A named characteristic or property of a design entity. It provides a statement of fact about the entity.
Industry:Computer; Software
A non-executable program statement that affects the assembler or compiler's interpretation of other statements in the program. For example, a statement that identifies a name, specifies what the name represents, and, possibly, assigns it an initial value.
Industry:Computer; Software
A nonprocedural language in which a program is created as a result of interactive dialog between the user and the computer system. The system provides questions, forms, and so on, to aid the user in expressing the results to be achieved.
