aikaosuuteen
Aikaosuuteen is a Finnish term that translates to "time-sharing" or "time-slicing" in English. It refers to a method of managing and allocating computer processor time among multiple tasks or processes. In a time-sharing system, the processor rapidly switches between different tasks, giving each task a small slice of time before moving to the next. This rapid switching creates the illusion that all tasks are running simultaneously, even though the processor is only executing one instruction at a time.
The primary purpose of aikaosuuteen is to improve system efficiency and user experience. By allowing multiple
Modern operating systems heavily rely on time-sharing algorithms to manage the execution of applications. These algorithms
