bounded above

基本解释

It is bounded above by a road that overhang it and below by a path.
该地以一条公路为界，公路悬于该地之上，通过一条小路下来。
It says that function, f of x, is bounded above here's an upper limit on it, that this grows no faster than quadratic in n, n squared.
这意味着这个方法f是有上限的,这个方法增长的速度,不会比括号内的n*n快。
When it is used, a job that never self- suspend is blocked at most once, and the duration of blocking is bounded from above by the maximum execution time of critical sections of lower - priority jobs.
使用该协议，一个作业不可能挂起自己，其至多被优先级低的作业阻塞一次，且阻塞时间仅为一个临界区的执行时间。
