threading

Vocabulary Word

Definition

When we say 'threading' in computing, we're talking about the way a computer program can do many things at once. It's like a magic trick - the computer seems to be doing all things at the same time!

Examples in Different Contexts

Discussing a firm's IT infrastructure, a CTO might state, 'Our servers use advanced threading techniques, ensuring faster data processing and optimal client experience.'

Practice Scenarios

Tech

Scenario:

We're noticing a lag in the performance of our app when multiple users are using it. Finding a solution to this should be our priority.

Response:

Perhaps we could consider threading to allow the app to efficiently handle realtime tasks for multiple users.

Scenario:

Our dataset for the machine learning model is huge and it's taking longer than expected to train the model.

Response:

Could using threading techniques help us reduce the training time of the machine learning model?
