Abrégé : Ce procédé d'analyse d'interblocages dans un système d'exploitation d'une machine utilise une méthode qui consiste à rechercher, pour toute unité d'exécution bloquée sur un verrou, l'unité d'exécution qui détient ce verrou et lorsque l'unité d'exécution est elle-même en attente sur un verrou à remonter la chaîne jusqu'à trouver un cycle. De façon remarquable, lorsque la machine comporte u...

A modular digital recording system that records audio on digital audio tapes has been conceived that provides redundancy and the ability to record audio while listening to portions of audio that had been recorded on the DAT. The system uses a hard disc 32a that receives audio for recording simultaneously with the DAT. When one wishes to listen to a voice message, one can activate the hard disc to ...
