Sun Microsystems is a multinational vendor of computers, computer software and hardware, and information technology services.
A container that provides the network services over which requests and responses are sent, decodes requests, and formats responses. All servlet containers must support HTTP as a protocol for requests and responses but can also support additional request-response protocols, such as HTTPS.

For Solaris threads, a thread permanently assigned to a particular LWP is called a bound thread. Bound threads can be scheduled on a real-time basis in strict priority with respect to all other active threads in the system, not only within a process. An LWP is an entity that can be scheduled with the same default scheduling priority as any UNIX process.

For Solaris threads, a condition variable enables threads to atomically block until a condition is satisfied. The condition is tested under the protection of a mutex lock. When the condition is false, a thread blocks on a condition variable and atomically releases the mutex waiting for the condition to change. When another thread changes the condition, it can signal the associated condition variable to cause one or more waiting threads to wake up, reacquire the mutex, and re-evaluate the condition. Condition variables can be used to synchronize threads in this process and other processes if the variable is allocated in memory that is writable and shared among the cooperating processes and have been initialized for this behavior.
Industry:Computer
A condition that occurs when one of the OPL system ASICs detects a parity error or equivalent fatal system error. Bus arbitration is frozen, so all bus activity stops.
Industry:Computer
Extra bits used by hardware to ensure correct rounding, not accessible by software. For example, IEEE double precision operations use three hidden bits to compute a 56-bit result that is then rounded to 53 bits.
Industry:Computer
A condition that occurs in cache when two unrelated data accessed independently by two threads reside in the same block. This block can end up 'ping-ponging' between caches for no valid reason. Recognizing such a case and rearranging the data structure to eliminate the false sharing greatly increases cache performance. See also cache, cache locality.
Industry:Computer
Enterprise Archive file. A JAR archive that contains a J2EE application.
Industry:Computer
A concatenation of XSLT transformations in which the output of one transformation becomes the input of the next.
Industry:Computer
A computer program that enables the automation of a well defined activity by performing a specific well defined task when it detects a predetermined set of conditions.
