Timeslice

As you have less and less free time, the marginal value of that timeslice becomes much higher. ❋ Unknown (2009)

A timeslice selected at random would more likely find me tracking down a weird DLL loading bug on Swedish Windows, or tracking down a bug in the financial model Excel spreadsheet the night before a board meeting, rather than having brilliant flashes of strategic insight. ❋ Unknown (2009)

We appoint a mixture of justices who timeslice through it, some frozen way back when and others who see it as a living document, a Talmud of sorts for the republic. ❋ Ann Althouse (2009)

The Matrix (because as overused as it is, the timeslice effect just had to be employed). ❋ Unknown (2010)

The cache-component, on the other hand, is desperate for cycles, and as soon as it gets a timeslice (usually because the application has ultimately blocked waiting for data that just wasn't arriving) it tries to get through the backlog of work, shovelling data back to the application as fast as it can, and overrunning its timeslices again, reinforcing the opinion of the scheduler that it is naughty and that punishment needs to continue. ❋ Tateru Nino (2010)

So, the component runs to the end of its timeslice often, not yielding back to the scheduler. ❋ Tateru Nino (2010)

By extension, that means everything that might cause the process (or thread) itself to block and yield its timeslice early. ❋ Tateru Nino (2010)

/* Initialize action structure for vt alarm signal * /vtSigNum = SIGVTALRM; vtAlrmAction. sa_handler = timeslice; sigemptyset (& vtAlrmAction. sa_mask); vtAlrmAction. sa_flags = SA_NODEFER; ❋ Karansinghdx (2010)

This is consistent with the CPU-rich design of CMT servers - with so many addressable CPUs, you simply don't have to timeslice CPUs to share the physical processor. ❋ Unknown (2010)

It comes from my mainframe background where we timeslice the machine to serve thousands of users/transactions every minute: ❋ Unknown (2009)

Problem 2: even if surface temps had fallen over the course of 10 years, this wouldn't falsify AGW because 10 years is too short a timeslice to produce statistically powerful trends. ❋ Unknown (2009)

would we conclude, based on any given timeslice of observation, that evolution has “failed” because we see delays or non-movement in the face of observed or calculated immediate optima? ❋ Unknown (2007)

The programme finishes up with Tim MacMillan’s Ferment, five minutes of original timeslice moviemaking as far from the Matrix‘s ‘bullet time’ as you can imagine: scenes of everday life from death to birth, people frozen in kitchens, cafes and lounges with the occasional spectacular burst of spilt water or firebreathing: genuinely experimental filmmaking. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Here’s a nifty timeslice video of a cheetah running through an African encampment. ❋ Unknown (2006)
