re-entrant          Used to describe code which can have multiple       simultaneous, interleaved, or nested invocations which will       not interfere with each other.   This is important for       {parallel processing}, {recursive} functions or subroutines,       and {interrupt handling}.          It is usually easy to arrange for multiple invocations       (e.g. calls to a subroutine) to share one copy of the code and       any read-only data but, for the code to be re-entrant, each       invocation must use its own copy of any modifiable data (or       synchronised access to shared data).   This is most often       achieved using a {stack} and allocating local variables in a       new {stack frame} for each invocation.   Alternatively, the       caller may pass in a pointer to a block of memory which that       invocation can use (usually for outputting the result) or the       code may allocate some memory on a {heap}, especially if the       data must survive after the routine returns.          Re-entrant code is often found in system software, such as       {operating systems} and {teleprocessing monitors}.   It is also       a crucial component of {multithreaded} programs where the term       "thread-safe" is often used instead of "re-entrant".          (1996-12-21)

round-robin          A {scheduling} {algorithm} in which processes are       activated in a fixed cyclic order.   Those which cannot proceed       because they are waiting for some event (e.g. termination of a       {child process} or an input/output operation) simply return       control to the scheduler.   The virtue of round-robin       scheduling is its simplicity - only the processes themselves       need to know what they are waiting for or how to tell if it       has happened.   However, if a process goes back to sleep just       before the event for which it is waiting occurs then the event       will not get handled until all the other processes have been       activated.          Compare {priority scheduling}.          (1996-02-10)
