The execution of a high-priority process while lower-priority processes await the availability of computer resources, or the execution of processes that require user interaction.
Industry:Computer; Software
The execution of a low-priority process while higher priority processes are not using computer resources, or the execution of processes that do not require user interaction.
Industry:Computer; Software
The expected or observed time between consecutive failures in a system or component.
Industry:Computer; Software
The field of a computer instruction that specifies the operation to be performed.
Industry:Computer; Software
The hardware, software, and firmware used to perform a software engineering effort. Typical elements include computer equipment, compilers, assemblers, operating systems, debuggers, simulators, emulators, test tools, documentation tools, and database management systems.
Industry:Computer; Software
The identification, estimation, allocation, and monitoring of the means used to develop a product or perform a service. Example is estimating.
Industry:Computer; Software
The importance assigned to a given interrupt request. This importance determines whether the request will cause suspension of the current process and, if there are several outstanding interrupt requests, which will be handled first.
Industry:Computer; Software
The improvement in reliability that results from correction of faults.
Industry:Computer; Software
The inability of a system or component to perform its required functions within specified performance requirements. Note: The fault tolerance discipline distinguishes between a human action (a mistake), its manifestation (a hardware or software fault), the result of the fault (a failure), and the amount by which the result is incorrect (the error).
