  2. Ternary conditional operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_conditional_operator

    The detailed semantics of "the" ternary operator as well as its syntax differs significantly from language to language. A top level distinction from one language to another is whether the expressions permit side effects (as in most procedural languages) and whether the language provides short-circuit evaluation semantics, whereby only the selected expression is evaluated (most standard ...

  3. Dangling else - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_else

    The dangling else is a problem in programming of parser generators in which an optional else clause in an if–then(–else) statement can make nested conditional statements ambiguous. Formally, the reference context-free grammar of the language is ambiguous , meaning there is more than one correct parse tree .

  4. Branch predictor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_predictor

    A 1-bit saturating counter (essentially a flip-flop) records the last outcome of the branch. This is the most simple version of dynamic branch predictor possible, although it is not very accurate. A 2-bit saturating counter [1] is a state machine with four states: Figure 2: State diagram of 2-bit saturating counter. Strongly not taken; Weakly ...

  5. Instruction pipelining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_pipelining

    In computer engineering, instruction pipelining is a technique for implementing instruction-level parallelism within a single processor. Pipelining attempts to keep every part of the processor busy with some instruction by dividing incoming instructions into a series of sequential steps (the eponymous "pipeline") performed by different processor units with different parts of instructions ...

  6. Pipeline (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(software)

    As a consequence, data in CMS Pipelines is handled in record mode. For text files, a record holds one line of text. In general, CMS Pipelines does not buffer the data but passes records of data in a lock-step fashion from one program to the next. This ensures a deterministic flow of data through a network of interconnected pipelines.

  7. Software pipelining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_pipelining

    In computer science, software pipelining is a technique used to optimize loops, in a manner that parallels hardware pipelining.Software pipelining is a type of out-of-order execution, except that the reordering is done by a compiler (or in the case of hand written assembly code, by the programmer) instead of the processor.

  8. Hazard (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_(computer_architecture)

    There are several main solutions and algorithms used to resolve data hazards: insert a pipeline bubble whenever a read after write (RAW) dependency is encountered, guaranteed to increase latency, or; use out-of-order execution to potentially prevent the need for pipeline bubbles; use operand forwarding to use data from later stages in the pipeline

  9. Pipeline (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(computing)

    In computing, a pipeline or data pipeline [1] is a set of data processing elements connected in series, where the output of one element is the input of the next one. The elements of a pipeline are often executed in parallel or in time-sliced fashion. Some amount of buffer storage is often inserted between elements. Computer-related pipelines ...
