Sun Microsystems is a multinational vendor of computers, computer software and hardware, and information technology services.
The value that is delivered as the result of a floating-point operation that caused an exception.
Industry:Computer
A trusted organization that issues public key certificates and provides identification to the bearer.
Industry:Computer
The three floating point exceptions overflow, invalid, and division are collectively referred to as the common exceptions for the purposes of ieee_flags(3m) and ieee_handler(3m). They are called common exceptions because they are commonly trapped as errors.
Industry:Computer
A thread is waiting for a resource or data; such as, return data from a pending disk read, or waiting for another thread to unlock a resource.
Industry:Computer
The set of security roles defined by the application assembler.
Industry:Computer
The process of removing redundancy by modularizing, as with subroutines, and of removing superfluous differences by reducing them to a common denominator. For example, line endings from different systems are normalized by reducing them to a single new line, and multiple whitespace characters are normalized to one space.
Industry:Computer
A system-level software driver that is used by an EJB container or an application client to connect to an enterprise information system. A resource adapter typically is specific to an enterprise information system. It is available as a library and is used within the address space of the server or client using it. A resource adapter plugs in to a container. The application components deployed on the container then use the client API (exposed by the adapter) or tool-generated high-level abstractions to access the underlying enterprise information system. The resource adapter and EJB container collaborate to provide the underlying mechanisms-transactions, security, and connection pooling-for connectivity to the enterprise information system.
Industry:Computer
A system in which more than one processor can be active at any given time. While the processors are actively executing separate processes, they run completely asynchronously. However, synchronization between processors is essential when they access critical system resources or critical regions of system code. See also critical region, critical resource, multithreading, uniprocessor system.
Industry:Computer
The procedures that restore the system to running all properly configured domains after one or more domains have been rendered inactive due to software or hardware failures or due to unacceptable environmental conditions.
