  1. Foreground-background

    Unreferenced date February 2007 Orphan date July 2007 Foreground background is a scheduling algorithm that is used to control execution of multiple processes on a single processor. It is based on two waiting lists, the first one is called foreground because this is the one in which all processes initially enter, and the second one is called background because all processes, after using all of their Run time program lifecycle phase execution time in foreground, are moved to background. When a process becomes ready it begins its execution in foreground immediately, forcing the processor to give up execution of current process in the background and execute newly created process for a predefined period. This period is usually 2 or more Preemption computing Time slice quanta . If the process is not finished after its execution in the foreground it is moved to background waiting list where it will be executed only when the foreground list is empty. After being moved to background, process is then run longer than before, usually 4 quanta. The time of execution is increased because the process obviously needs more than 2 quanta to finish this is the reason it was moved to background . This gives the process the opportunity to finish within this newly designated time. If the process does not finish after this, it is then preempted and moved to the end of the background list. The advantage of the foreground background algorithm is that it gives process the opportunity to execute immediately after its creation, but scheduling in the background list is pure round robin scheduling .

  1. Flux quantization

    Flux quantization is a quantum phenomenon in which the magnetic field is quantized in the unit of math h 2e math , also known variously as flux quanta, fluxoids, vortices or fluxon s. Flux quantization occurs in Type II superconductor s subjected to a magnetic field. Below a critical field H sub c1 sub , all magnetic flux is expulsed according to the Meissner effect and perfect diamagnetism is observed, exactly as in a Type I superconductor . Up to a second critical field value, H sub c2 sub , flux penetrates in discrete units while the bulk of the material remains superconducting. Both critical fields are temperature dependent, and tabulated values are the zero temperature extrapolation unless otherwise noted.

  1. Bosonic field

    In quantum field theory , a bosonic field is a quantum field whose quanta are boson s that is, they obey Bose Einstein statistics . Bosonic fields obey canonical commutation relation s, as distinct from the canonical anticommutation relation s obeyed by fermionic fields . Examples include scalar fields, describing spin 0 particles such as the Higgs boson , and gauge fields, describing spin 1 particles such as the photon. Basic properties Free non interacting bosonic fields obey canonical commutation relations. Those relations also hold for interacting bosonic fields in the interaction picture, where the fields evolve in time as if free and the effects of the interaction are encoded in the evolution of the states. It is these commutation relations that imply Bose Einstein statistics for the field quanta. Examples Examples of bosonic fields include scalar field physics scalar field s, gauge field s, and symmetric tensor symmetric 2 tensor tensor field fields , which are characterized by their covariance under Lorentz transformation s and have spins 0, 1 and 2, respectively. Physical examples, in the same order, are the Higgs field, the photon field, and the graviton field. While the first one remains to be observed, it is widely believed to exist. Of the last two, only the photon field can be quantized using the conventional methods of canonical or path integral quantization. This has led to the theory of quantum electrodynamics, one of the most successful theories in physics. Quantum gravity Quantization of gravity , on the other hand, is a long standing problem that has led to development of theories such as string theory and loop quantum gravity . Spin and statistics The spin statistics theorem implies that quantization of local, relativistic field theories in 3 1 dimensions ... properties of the quanta are not directly related.

  1. Pinning force

    Notability date January 2011 Pinning force is a force acting on a pinned object from a pinning center . In solid state physics, this most often refers to the vortex pinning, the pinning of the magnetic vortices magnetic flux quanta , Abrikosov vortices by different kinds of the defects in a type II superconductor . Important quantities are the individual maximal pinning force, which defines the depinning of a single vortex, and an average pinning force, which defines the depinning of the correlated vortex structures and can be associated with the critical current density the maximal density of non dissipative current . The interaction of the correlated vortex lattice with system of pinning centers forms the magnetic phase diagram of the vortex matter in superconductors. This phase diagram is especially rich for high temperature superconductors HTSC where the thermo activation processes are essential.
