https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticipatory%20scheduling
Anticipatory scheduling is an algorithm for scheduling hard disk input/output (I/O scheduling). It seeks to increase the efficiency of disk utilization by "anticipating" future synchronous read operations. I/O scheduling "Deceptive idleness" is a situation where a process appears to be finished reading from the disk w...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast%20wave
In fluid dynamics, a blast wave is the increased pressure and flow resulting from the deposition of a large amount of energy in a small, very localised volume. The flow field can be approximated as a lead shock wave, followed by a self-similar subsonic flow field. In simpler terms, a blast wave is an area of pressure e...
