asconcurrent programming environments. A concurrent programming environment lets us designate tasks that can run in parallel. It also lets us specify how we would like to handle the communication and synchronization issues that result when concurrent tasks attempt to talk to each other and share data...
If your application occasionally blocks a thread-pool thread for a while, the performance penalty may be negligible. But if your application does it a lot, its responsiveness can degrade due to pressure on the thread pool. The thread pool will attempt to cope by creating mor...
Advice you get is someone’s attempt to synthesize their experiences, not an accurate statement about how the world works. Build a reservoir of prestige. Some folks are so good at something that they end up being irreplaceable in their current role, which causes them to get stuck in their ...
cloc has subroutines that attempt to identify the correct language based on the file's contents for these special cases. Language identification accuracy is a function of how much code the file contains; .m files with just one or two lines for example, seldom have enough information to ...
1 = An improper program or erase sequence attempt, or termination has occurred (bit is set automatically on any set attempt of the WR bit) 0 = The program or erase operation completed normally bit 12-7 Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’ bit 6 ERASE: Erase/Program Enable bit(1) 1 = Perform...
This is an attempt by the runtime system to allow processes with long message queues to catch up by slowing down the processes sending the messages in the first place. The latter bottleneck often manifests itself in a reduction of the overall throughput of the system. The only way to ...
I'm trying to upgrade the storage in a consumer device by swapping in a larger NAND chip (specifically a Micron MT29F128G08CFABBWP). After modifying the firmware to accept the chip's ID and geometry, the first thing it does is attempt to format the chip with s...
public class Mutex { public void acquire() throws InterruptedException { } public void release() { } public boolean attempt(long msec) throws InterruptedException { } } Which then can be used as: Copy Copied to Clipboard Error: Could not Copy try { mutex.acquire(); try { // do something...
Borning and Ingalls did indeed attempt just that [28], but it proved not to be as easy to get the details right as Ingalls had predicted. Still, Smalltalk as defined in 1980 did succeed in abstracting away from representation details: it never assumes that two objects that exhibit the same...
As an undergraduate, and even when studying for my Masters degree, it was always clear that I could get the answer from someone smarter than me if my own attempt failed. It was also clear that if I didn’t manage to get the correct result, it was no big deal since my work was in...
