MHB What is the Term for Time Intervals in Multiprocessing?

[sadsadsadsa]

Could someone help me with these two questions thanks.

To implement multiproprocessing, time is divided into small intervals and the execution of each job is restricted to only one time _____________ at a time.​

Looks like a time "slice" is intended.

Another term commonly used in process schedulers is a quantum, i.e. an indivisible time unit in which a process is allocated an execution unit (such as a CPU core).

what is the answer? please

WHY are you asking?
This thread is over 3 years inactive.
Plus the OP states "2 questions"?
Looks like simply finding a word that fits in the sentence: why not use "interval"...

HOW would YOU word the question?

Perhaps a web search would help. I, too, am familiar with the term "slice". "Slot" may be acceptable as well. To successfully answer the question would require empirical knowledge of the demographic in use.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preemption_(computing):

The period of time for which a process is allowed to run in a preemptive multitasking system is generally called the time slice or quantum.​

Since the word time is already in the sentence, the correct answer is slice.
I'm afraid that in the context of multiprocessing no other words apply, although it's always possible that some book has its own word for it.
