In computing, the process identifier (a.k.a. process ID or PID) is a number used by most operating system kernels—such as those of Unix, macOS and Windows—to...

Concurrent computing is a form of computing in which several computations are executed concurrently—during overlapping time periods—instead of sequentially—with...

In computing, a context switch is the process of storing the state of a process or thread, so that it can be restored and resume execution at a later point...

Reversible computing is any model of computation where every step of the process is time-reversible. This means that, given the output of a computation...

A child process (CP) in computing is a process created by another process (the parent process). This technique pertains to multitasking operating systems...
