or completeness in its control of the powers.

6. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
sleep
vi.
1. [techspeak] To relinquish a claim (of a process on a multitasking
system) for service; to indicate to the scheduler that a process may be
deactivated until some given event occurs or a specified time delay
elapses.
2. In jargon, used very similarly to v. block; also in sleep on, syn.:
with block on. Often used to indicate that the speaker has relinquished a
demand for resources until some (possibly unspecified) external event: ?
They can't get the fix I've been asking for into the next release, so I'm
going to sleep on it until the release, then start hassling them again.?
|
7. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
sleep
1. (Or "block") When a process on a
multitasking system asks the scheduler to deactivate it until
some given external event (e.g. an interrupt or a specified
time delay) occurs.
The alternative is to poll or "busy wait" for the event
but this uses processing power.
Also used in the phrase "sleep on" (or "block on") some
external event, meaning to wait for it.
E.g. the Unix command of the same name which pauses the
current process for a given number of seconds.
2. To go into partial deactivation to save power.
