A server hog is a user, program or system that places excessive load on a Server computing server such that the server performance as experienced by other client computing clients is degraded, or such that the server itself is so heavily loaded that it fails to perform routine housekeeping for its own maintenance. History The term server hog is colloquial rather than precisely delineated. The sensibility, if not the term itself, almost certainly dates back to the early years of time sharing computer systems in the 1960s when it was common for a single institutional mainframe computer mainframe to control many interactive terminals. In such an environment server lag is acutely perceived. Furthermore, in many operating environments, scarce server resources such as CPU seconds were often metered and charged against the account of the user running the program. An unintentional server hog could prove extremely costly in financial terms. These programs were often called run away programs or endless loops. Resource contention Server performance has many dimensions. Any subsystem that becomes excessively loaded can compromise the performance of other clients contending for that subsystem. Common forms of hardware contention include CPU cycles, interrupt latency, I O bandwidth, available system memory, or aggregate system memory bandwidth. At the software level, contention can arise for buffer ... on the server during those time periods. Unexpected hogs More often, the term server hog is used ... mainframe.

Orphan date March 2011 Hog s Tooth is the name given to the 7.62x51mm NATO 7.62mm round presented to a United States Marine military Marine upon graduating from the Reconnaissance Scout Sniper school. A 7.62mm NATO round is used because that is the round fired by the M40 rifle M40A3 , which is the primary rifle used by Marine snipers. Significance According to military superstition, there is ultimately one round destined to end the life of each person, the round with your name on it. Until that round is fired, the person for which it is intended is invincible. If the sniper carries this round at all times, it can never be fired and the sniper is therefore untouchable. br br The term hog is actually an acronym derived from the title Hunter Of Gunmen , which is the colloquial name for a trained sniper. All other military personnel who have not graduated from Scout Sniper school are considered pigs , or Professionally Instructed Gunmen .
