guvernér

In the context of computer science, particularly in software development and system design, a „guvernér“ (translated to „governor“ in English) generally refers to a component or mechanism that regulates or manages the resources and performance of a system or application. It is typically responsible for controlling the usage of system resources such as CPU, memory, or bandwidth.

A governor may adjust the operation of the system dynamically based on current conditions or predefined policies, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently and that the performance remains optimal. For example, in the context of CPU management, a governor can switch between different scaling policies (e.g., performance, powersave) depending on the current workload.

In the realm of databases or server environments, a governor can enforce limits on the number of concurrent processes, the amount of data processed, or time consumed by operations to maintain system stability and prevent resource exhaustion.

Overall, the term „guvernér“ embodies the function of imposing restrictions and optimizing operational characteristics of computational resources, ensuring a balanced and efficient system performance.
