Queuing delayIn telecommunication and computer engineering, the queuing delay or queueing delay is the time a job waits in a queue until it can be executed. It is a key component of network delay. In a switched network, queuing delay is the time between the completion of signaling by the call originator and the arrival of a ringing signal at the call receiver. Queuing delay may be caused by delays at the originating switch, intermediate switches, or the call receiver servicing switch.
Concurrency controlIn information technology and computer science, especially in the fields of computer programming, operating systems, multiprocessors, and databases, concurrency control ensures that correct results for concurrent operations are generated, while getting those results as quickly as possible. Computer systems, both software and hardware, consist of modules, or components. Each component is designed to operate correctly, i.e., to obey or to meet certain consistency rules.
Page replacement algorithmIn a computer operating system that uses paging for virtual memory management, page replacement algorithms decide which memory pages to page out, sometimes called swap out, or write to disk, when a page of memory needs to be allocated. Page replacement happens when a requested page is not in memory (page fault) and a free page cannot be used to satisfy the allocation, either because there are none, or because the number of free pages is lower than some threshold.
Overhead (computing)In computer science, overhead is any combination of excess or indirect computation time, memory, bandwidth, or other resources that are required to perform a specific task. It is a special case of engineering overhead. Overhead can be a deciding factor in software design, with regard to structure, error correction, and feature inclusion. Examples of computing overhead may be found in Object Oriented Programming (OOP), functional programming, data transfer, and data structures.
Retard de groupe et retard de phaseEn traitement du signal, le temps de propagation de groupe ou retard de groupe est le retard infligé par un filtre, en secondes, de l'enveloppe en amplitude pour un signal à bande étroite. Le retard de phase est le retard (en secondes) de chaque composante fréquentielle calculé à partir de la réponse en phase du filtre. Le temps de propagation de groupe et le retard de phase dépendent en général de la fréquence, à l'exception d'un filtre à phase linéaire dont le retard de groupe et de phase sont constants et sont tous deux égaux.
Multiversion Concurrency ControlMultiversion concurrency control (abrégé en MCC ou MVCC) est une méthode informatique de contrôle des accès concurrents fréquemment utilisée dans les systèmes de gestion de base de données et les langages de programmation concernant la gestion des caches en mémoire. Le principe de MVCC repose sur un verrouillage dit optimiste contrairement au verrouillage pessimiste qui consiste à bloquer préalablement les objets à des garanties de bonne fin. L'inconvénient logique est qu'une mise à jour peut être annulée du fait d'un "blocage" en fin de traitement.
