Ordonnancement dans les systèmes d'exploitationDans les systèmes d'exploitation, l’ordonnanceur est le composant du noyau du système d'exploitation choisissant l'ordre d'exécution des processus sur les processeurs d'un ordinateur. En anglais, l'ordonnanceur est appelé scheduler. Un processus a besoin de la ressource processeur pour exécuter des calculs; il l'abandonne quand se produit une interruption, etc. De nombreux anciens processeurs ne peuvent effectuer qu'un traitement à la fois.
ScheduleA schedule or a timetable, as a basic time-management tool, consists of a list of times at which possible tasks, events, or actions are intended to take place, or of a sequence of events in the chronological order in which such things are intended to take place. The process of creating a schedule — deciding how to order these tasks and how to commit resources between the variety of possible tasks — is called scheduling, and a person responsible for making a particular schedule may be called a scheduler.
Tâche (informatique)En informatique, une tâche est une unité d’exécution dite aussi unité de travail. Il s'agit d'un terme global qui peut être précisé par une dénomination plus spécifique tel que le processus, le processus léger, le fil d'exécution et le mécanise de . Dans le diagramme adjacent, on trouve un exemple de tâche ou une file d'attente de travaux à effectuer (task queue) est rangée en entrée d'un groupement de fils d’exécution (thread pool) afin d'être traités puis stockés en sortie dans une file de travaux terminés (completed tasks).
Simulation de phénomènesLa simulation de phénomènes est un outil utilisé dans le domaine de la recherche et du développement. Elle permet d'étudier les réactions d'un système à différentes contraintes pour en déduire les résultats recherchés en se passant d'expérimentation. Les systèmes technologiques (infrastructures, véhicules, réseaux de communication, de transport ou d'énergie) sont soumis à différentes contraintes et actions. Le moyen le plus simple d'étudier leurs réactions serait d'expérimenter, c'est-à-dire d'exercer l'action souhaitée sur l'élément en cause pour observer ou mesurer le résultat.
Scheduling (production processes)Scheduling is the process of arranging, controlling and optimizing work and workloads in a production process or manufacturing process. Scheduling is used to allocate plant and machinery resources, plan human resources, plan production processes and purchase materials. It is an important tool for manufacturing and engineering, where it can have a major impact on the productivity of a process. In manufacturing, the purpose of scheduling is to keep due dates of customers and then minimize the production time and costs, by telling a production facility when to make, with which staff, and on which equipment.
Training simulationIn business, training simulation is a virtual medium through which various types of skills can be acquired. Training simulations can be used in a variety of genres; however they are most commonly used in corporate situations to improve business awareness and management skills. They are also common in academic environments as an integrated part of a business or management course. The word simulation implies an imitation of a real-life process, usually via a computer or other technological device, in order to provide a lifelike experience.
Additional-member systemThe additional-member system (AMS) is a mixed electoral system under which most representatives are elected in single-member districts (SMDs), and the other "additional members" are elected to make the seat distribution in the chamber more proportional to the way votes are cast for party lists. It is distinct from parallel voting (also known as the supplementary member system) in that the "additional member" seats are awarded to parties taking into account seats won in SMDs (referred to as compensation or "top-up"), which is not done under parallel voting (a non-compensatory method).
Proportional representationProportional representation (PR) refers to a type of electoral system under which subgroups of an electorate are reflected proportionately in the elected body. The concept applies mainly to political divisions (political parties) among voters. The essence of such systems is that all votes cast - or almost all votes cast - contribute to the result and are effectively used to help elect someone - not just a bare plurality or (exclusively) the majority - and that the system produces mixed, balanced representation reflecting how votes are cast.
Business simulationBusiness simulation or corporate simulation is simulation used for business training, education or analysis. It can be scenario-based or numeric-based. Most business simulations are used for business acumen training and development. Learning objectives include: strategic thinking, decision making, problem solving, financial analysis, market analysis, operations, teamwork and leadership. The business gaming community seems lately to have adopted the term business simulation game instead of just gaming or just simulation.
Scrutin proportionnel plurinominalLe mode de scrutin proportionnel plurinominal (également appelé représentation proportionnelle à scrutin de liste, RPSL) est un système électoral où le nombre de sièges à pourvoir est partagé en fonction du nombre de voix recueillies. C'est le système électoral proportionnel le plus répandu parmi les États indépendants et les territoires semi-autonomes qui tiennent des élections parlementaires au scrutin direct. Il est né au avec l'apparition des partis politiques.
