Functional arrangement of the auditing capability. This term is used in XSCF firmware.
Industry:Computer
A container that provides the same services as a servlet container and an engine that interprets and processes JSP pages into a servlet.

For Solaris threads, threads scheduled onto a pool of LWPs are called unbound threads. The threads library invokes and assigns LWPs to execute runnable threads. If the thread becomes blocked on a synchronization mechanism (such as a mutex lock) the state of the thread is saved in process memory. The threads library then assigns another thread to the LWP. See also bound thread, multithreading, thread.
Industry:Computer
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.
Industry:Computer
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
An authentication mechanism in which a Web container provides an application-specific form for logging in. This form of authentication uses Base64 encoding and can expose user names and passwords unless all connections are over SSL.
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.
