context switching
● ►en loc. m. ►SYSTM Changement de tâche. C'est ce que l'on fait sous Windows (et sous bon nombre d'interfaces maintenant que c'est devenu un standard de fait) avec la combinaison Alt+Tab, qui permet de passer d'une tâche à une autre. Mais ce n'est pas forcément du multitâche: on active un programme qui a été chargé en mémoire mais qui ne tourne pas, et celui que l'on quitte s'arrête. (++) bwark, déf pas bonne.
