time-slicing
Sequential resource allocation
Time-slicing is dividing a resource among multiple users or processes by giving each a brief turn in rapid succession.
In computing, the processor switches between tasks so quickly that they appear to run simultaneously: The operating system uses time-slicing to handle multiple applications.
The concept extends to any scheduled rotation of access—a shared vacation home might use time-slicing among owners.
