multitasking 音标拼音: [m'ʌltit,æskɪŋ] 多任务,多任务化 多任务,多任务化 multitasking 多重任务;多重作业;多任务;多(重)任务处理 MT multi-tasking 多任务 multitasking 多任务 "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.
