  2. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    If, for example, the output is constrained to 32-bit integer values, then the hash values can be used to index into an array. Such hashing is commonly used to accelerate data searches. [10] Producing fixed-length output from variable-length input can be accomplished by breaking the input data into chunks of specific size.

  3. Chunked transfer encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding

    In chunked transfer encoding, the data stream is divided into a series of non-overlapping "chunks". The chunks are sent out and received independently of one another. No knowledge of the data stream outside the currently-being-processed chunk is necessary for both the sender and the receiver at any given time.

  4. Data deduplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_deduplication

    Whenever a match occurs, the redundant chunk is replaced with a small reference that points to the stored chunk. Given that the same byte pattern may occur dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times (the match frequency is dependent on the chunk size), the amount of data that must be stored or transferred can be greatly reduced.

  5. Segmented regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_regression

    Yr is the expected (predicted) value of y for a certain value of x; A 1 and A 2 are regression coefficients (indicating the slope of the line segments); K 1 and K 2 are regression constants (indicating the intercept at the y-axis). The data may show many types or trends, [2] see the figures. The method also yields two correlation coefficients (R):

  6. Software construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_construction

    Runtime configuration is a technique that binds variable values and program settings when the program is running, usually by updating and reading configuration files in a just-in-time mode. Internationalization is the technical activity of preparing a program, usually interactive software, to support multiple locales.

  7. Ice calving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_calving

    Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. [1] It is a form of ice ablation or ice disruption. It is the sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier, iceberg, ice front, ice shelf, or crevasse. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an ...

  8. Chunking (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunking_(psychology)

    A modality effect is present in chunking. That is, the mechanism used to convey the list of items to the individual affects how much "chunking" occurs. Experimentally, it has been found that auditory presentation results in a larger amount of grouping in the responses of individuals than visual presentation does. Previous literature, such as George Miller's The Magical Number Seven, Plus or ...

  9. Work breakdown structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_breakdown_structure

    A work-breakdown structure (WBS) [2] in project management and systems engineering is a deliverable-oriented breakdown of a project into smaller components. A work breakdown structure is a key project management element that organizes the team's work into manageable sections.
