input/output bound — Abbreviated I/O bound. A condition in which the speed of operation of the input/output port limits the speed of program execution. Getting the data into and out of the computer is more time consuming than actually processing that same data.… … Dictionary of networking
Memory bound function — Memory bound refers to a situation in which the time to complete a given computational problem is decided primarily by the amount of available memory to hold data. In other words, the limiting factor of solving a given problem is the memory… … Wikipedia
I/O bound — In computer science, I/O bound refers to a condition in which the time it takes to complete a computation is determined principally by the period of time spent waiting for input/output operations to be completed. This is the opposite of a task… … Wikipedia
Parallel computation thesis — In computational complexity theory, the parallel computation thesis is a hypothesis which states that the time used by a (reasonable) parallel machine is polynomially related to the space used by a sequential machine. The parallel computation… … Wikipedia
Limits to computation — There are several physical and practical limits to the amount of computation or data storage that can be performed with a given amount of mass, volume, or energy:* The Bekenstein bound limits the amount of information that can be stored within a… … Wikipedia
Continuous quantum computation — Two major motivations for studying continuous quantum computation are: Many scientific problems have continuous mathematical formulations. Examples of such formulations are Path integration Feynman Kac path integration Schrödinger equation In… … Wikipedia
Book on Numbers and Computation — The Suàn shù shū (算數書), or the Book on Numbers and Computation (also as Writings on Reckoning ), [Dauben (2004), 151.] is the earliest known Chinese mathematical treatise. It was written during the early Western Han Dynasty, sometime between 202… … Wikipedia
Riemann hypothesis — The real part (red) and imaginary part (blue) of the Riemann zeta function along the critical line Re(s) = 1/2. The first non trivial zeros can be seen at Im(s) = ±14.135, ±21.022 and ±25.011 … Wikipedia
π-calculus — In theoretical computer science, the π calculus (or pi calculus) is a process calculus originally developed by Robin Milner, Joachim Parrow and David Walker as a continuation of work on the process calculus CCS (Calculus of Communicating Systems) … Wikipedia
