  2. Reverse computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_computation

    Reverse computation is a software application of the concept of reversible computing.. Because it offers a possible solution to the heat problem faced by chip manufacturers, reversible computing has been extensively studied in the area of computer architecture.

  3. Reversible computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_computing

    Reversible computing is any model of computation where the computational process, to some extent, is time-reversible.In a model of computation that uses deterministic transitions from one state of the abstract machine to another, a necessary condition for reversibility is that the relation of the mapping from states to their successors must be one-to-one.

  4. Abstraction inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstraction_inversion

    In computer programming, abstraction inversion is an anti-pattern arising when users of a construct need functions implemented within it but not exposed by its interface. The result is that the users re-implement the required functions in terms of the interface, which in its turn uses the internal implementation of the same functions.

  5. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    The control system performance can be improved by combining the feedback (or closed-loop) control of a PID controller with feed-forward (or open-loop) control. Knowledge about the system (such as the desired acceleration and inertia) can be fed forward and combined with the PID output to improve the overall system performance.

  6. Reverse engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_engineering

    The Tupolev Tu-4, a Soviet bomber built by reverse engineering captured Boeing B-29 Superfortresses. Reverse engineering (also known as backwards engineering or back engineering) is a process or method through which one attempts to understand through deductive reasoning how a previously made device, process, system, or piece of software accomplishes a task with very little (if any) insight ...

  7. Priority inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_inversion

    If the high-priority task is left starved of the resources, it might lead to a system malfunction or the triggering of pre-defined corrective measures, such as a watchdog timer resetting the entire system. The trouble experienced by the Mars Pathfinder lander in 1997 [1] [2] is a classic example of problems caused by priority inversion in ...

  8. Dependency inversion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_inversion_principle

    In object-oriented design, the dependency inversion principle is a specific methodology for loosely coupled software modules.When following this principle, the conventional dependency relationships established from high-level, policy-setting modules to low-level, dependency modules are reversed, thus rendering high-level modules independent of the low-level module implementation details.

  9. Control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_system

    A control system manages, commands, directs, or regulates the behavior of other devices or systems using control loops. It can range from a single home heating controller using a thermostat controlling a domestic boiler to large industrial control systems which are used for controlling processes or machines.
