time-slicing scheduling
[/taɪm ˈslaɪsɪŋ ˈʃɛdjuːlɪŋ/]
noun
escalonamento por fatias de tempo
1. A CPU scheduling algorithm where each process is allocated a fixed time interval (time slice or quantum) to execute before being preempted and moved to the end of the queue, allowing multiple processes to share processor time fairly
Time-slicing scheduling ensures that all processes get equal access to CPU resources by giving each one a time quantum of 10 milliseconds.
O escalonamento por fatias de tempo garante que todos os processos obtenham acesso igualitário aos recursos da CPU, dando a cada um um quantum de tempo de 10 milissegundos.
2. A preemptive multitasking technique commonly used in modern operating systems to create the illusion of parallel execution on single-core processors
The operating system uses time-slicing scheduling to allow users to run multiple applications simultaneously on their computer.
O sistema operacional utiliza escalonamento por fatias de tempo para permitir que os usuários executem múltiplos aplicativos simultaneamente em seus computadores.
This is primarily technical terminology used in computer science education and professional IT environments in both Brazil and Portugal. The English term is frequently retained in technical documentation and university coursework due to the dominance of English-language computing literature. In Brazil, the Portuguese translation is more commonly used in academic settings, while in industry, both terms are used interchangeably.
