Consistency model — In computer science, consistency models are used in distributed systems like distributed shared memory systems or distributed data stores (such as a filesystems, databases, optimistic replication systems or Web caching). The system supports a… … Wikipedia
Parallel Random Access Machine — In computer science, Parallel Random Access Machine (PRAM) is a shared memory abstract machine. As its name indicates, the PRAM was intended as the parallel computing analogy to the random access machine (RAM). In the same way, that the RAM is… … Wikipedia
Distributed computing — is a field of computer science that studies distributed systems. A distributed system consists of multiple autonomous computers that communicate through a computer network. The computers interact with each other in order to achieve a common goal … Wikipedia
XMTC — is a shared memory parallel programming language. It is an extension of the C programming language which strives to enable easy PRAM like programming. It is developed as part of the [http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/ vishkin/XMT/ XMT PRAM On Chip… … Wikipedia
Bulk synchronous parallel — The Bulk Synchronous Parallel computer is a model for designing parallelalgorithms. It serves a similar purpose to the PRAM model. BSP differs from PRAM by not taking communication and synchronization for granted. An importantpart of analysing a… … Wikipedia
LogP machine — The LogP machine is a model for parallel computation. [Culler et al. 1993] It aims at being more practical than the PRAM model while still allowing for easy analysis of computation.The name is not related to the mathematical logarithmic function … Wikipedia
Greatest common divisor — In mathematics, the greatest common divisor (gcd), also known as the greatest common factor (gcf), or highest common factor (hcf), of two or more non zero integers, is the largest positive integer that divides the numbers without a remainder. For … Wikipedia
Cardiac output — (Q or or CO ) is the volume of blood being pumped by the heart, in particular by a left or right ventricle in the time interval of one minute. CO may be measured in many ways, for example dm3/min (1 dm3 equals 1000 cm3 or 1 litre). Q is… … Wikipedia
