cooperative multitasking
(foldoc) | cooperative multitasking
A form of multitasking where it
is the responsibility of the currently running task to give up
the processor to allow other tasks to run. This contrasts
with pre-emptive multitasking where the task scheduler
periodically suspends the running task and restarts another.
Cooperative multitasking requires the programmer to place
calls at suitable points in his code to allow his task to be
descheduled which is not always easy if there is no obvious
top-level main loop or some routines run for a long time.
If a task does not allow itself to be descheduled all other
tasks on the system will appear to "freeze" and will not
respond to user action.
The advantage of cooperative multitasking is that the
programmer knows where the program will be descheduled and can
make sure that this will not cause unwanted interaction with
other processes. Under pre-emptive multitasking, the
scheduler must ensure that sufficient state for each process
is saved and restored that they will not interfere. Thus
cooperative multitasking can have lower overheads than
pre-emptive multitasking because of the greater control it
offers over when a task may be descheduled.
Cooperative multitasking is used in RISC OS, {Microsoft
Windows} and Macintosh System 7.

IITF
(IITF) A US government body created in 1993 by
President Clinton to control and oversee the NII project. The
IITF consists of representatives of the federal agencies involved

develop policy. Various IITF committees work on
telecommunications, IPR, privacy, government information and
applications.
In 2013, the IITF does not appear to have any presence on the
WWW, which strongly suggests that it no longer exists (or that
it is pretty out of touch with modern information infrastructure).

IETF
(IETF) The IETF is a large, open
international community of network designers, operators,
vendors and researchers whose purpose is to coordinate the
operation, management and evolution of the Internet and to
resolve short- and mid-range protocol and architectural
issues. It is a major source of proposals for protocol
standards which are submitted to the {Internet Architecture
Board} (IAB) for final approval. The IETF meets three times a
year and extensive minutes are included in the IETF

multitasking

concurrency
concurrent processing
multiprogramming
process scheduling
(Or "multi-tasking", "multiprogramming",
"concurrent processing", "concurrency", "process scheduling")
A technique used in an operating system for sharing a single
processor between several independent jobs. The first
multitasking operating systems were designed in the early
1960s.
Under "cooperative multitasking" the running task decides
when to give up the CPU and under "pre-emptive multitasking"
(probably more common) a system process called the
"scheduler" suspends the currently running task after it has
run for a fixed period known as a "time-slice". In both
cases the scheduler is responsible for selecting the next task
to run and (re)starting it.
The running task may relinquish control voluntarily even in a
pre-emptive system if it is waiting for some external event.
In either system a task may be suspended prematurely if a
hardware interrupt occurs, especially if a higher priority
task was waiting for this event and has therefore become
runnable.
The scheduling algorithm used by the scheduler determines
which task will run next. Some common examples are
round-robin scheduling, priority scheduling, {shortest job
first} and guaranteed scheduling.
Multitasking introduces overheads because the processor
spends some time in choosing the next job to run and in saving
and restoring tasks' state, but it reduces the worst-case time
from job submission to completion compared with a simple
batch system where each job must finish before the next one
starts. Multitasking also means that while one task is
waiting for some external event, the CPU to do useful work
on other tasks.
A multitasking operating system should provide some degree of
protection of one task from another to prevent tasks from
interacting in unexpected ways such as accidentally modifying
the contents of each other's memory areas.
The jobs in a multitasking system may belong to one or many
users. This is distinct from parallel processing where one
user runs several tasks on several processors. Time-sharing
is almost synonymous but implies that there is more than one
user.
Multithreading is a kind of multitasking with low
overheads and no protection of tasks from each other, all
threads share the same memory.

OS/MFT
OS/VS1
(OS/MFT) One of the IBM {operating
systems} associated with the IBM 360, released in 1966 and
targetted at mid-range IBM 360 users (typically 360/40,
360/50). OS/MFT was the juinior member of the main 'OS'
series of IBM operating systems, the other being OS/MVT.
Smaller 360 mainframes used DOS.
OS/MFT shared JCL and utilities with OS/MVT but allocated
memory differently. In OS/MFT, partitions of memory were of a
fixed number and size, specified by the generation and
configuration of the operating system. As this class of
mainframe had typically less than 512K of main memory,
partitions tended to be about 128K.
With the advent of Virtual Storage and the System 370's
Dynamic Address Translation (DAT), OS/MFT was improved to
become OS/VS1, taking account of virtual storage in a single
partition up to 16MB.

pre-emptive multitasking
(foldoc) | pre-emptive multitasking
A type of multitasking where
the scheduler can interrupt and suspend ("swap out") the
currently running task in order to start or continue running
("swap in") another task. The tasks under pre-emptive
multitasking can be written as though they were the only task
and the scheduler decides when to swap them. The scheduler
must ensure that when swapping tasks, sufficient state is
saved and restored that tasks do not interfere.
The length of time for which a process runs is known as its
"time slice" and may depend on the task's priority or its
use of resources such as memory and I/O.
OS/2, Unix and the Amiga use pre-emptive multitasking.
This contrasts with cooperative multitasking where each task
must include calls to allow it to be descheduled
periodically.

task scheduling
(foldoc) | task scheduling
The assignment of start and end times to a set of
tasks, subject to certain constraints. Constraints are
typically either time constraints (the payload must be
installed before the payload bay doors are closed) or resource
constraints (this task requires a small crane and a crane
operator).
In the case where the tasks are programs to run concurrently
on a computer, this is also known as multitasking.

taskbar
(foldoc) | taskbar
The part of the Microsoft Windows
graphical user interface (GUI) typically occupying a fixed
strip along the bottom of the screen, showing a rectangular
icon for each running application.
The taskbar also contains the Start menu at its left-hand
end and the notification area at the right-hand end. Other
toolbars can be added such as the Quick Launch toolbar.
Clicking an application's taskbar icon makes its windows
visible in front of other windows and gives one of them the
input focus, or if it is already in front, minimises it.
Right-clicking an icon gives a window manager menu, possibly
customised by the application. Right-clicking the taskbar
itself performs global window manager actions such as
minimising all windows and also allows you to set taskbar
properties. The taskbar can be locked in position or resized
or dragged to the top, left or right of the screen.
