  2. Array (data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_type)

    For example, in the Pascal programming language, the declaration type MyTable = array [1.. 4, 1.. 2] of integer, defines a new array data type called MyTable. The declaration var A: MyTable then defines a variable A of that type, which is an aggregate of eight elements, each being an integer variable identified by two indices.

  3. Serialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialization

    Flow diagram. In computing, serialization (or serialisation, also referred to as pickling in Python) is the process of translating a data structure or object state into a format that can be stored (e.g. files in secondary storage devices, data buffers in primary storage devices) or transmitted (e.g. data streams over computer networks) and reconstructed later (possibly in a different computer ...

  4. Type introspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_introspection

    Type introspection has been a part of Object Pascal since the original release of Delphi, which uses RTTI heavily for visual form design. In Object Pascal, all classes descend from the base TObject class, which implements basic RTTI functionality.

  5. Array programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_programming

    The cross product operation is an example of a vector rank function because it operates on vectors, not scalars. Matrix multiplication is an example of a 2-rank function, because it operates on 2-dimensional objects (matrices). Collapse operators reduce the dimensionality of an input data array by one or more dimensions. For example, summing ...

  6. Initialization vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialization_vector

    Example: Consider a scenario where a legitimate party called Alice encrypts messages using the cipher-block chaining mode. Consider further that there is an adversary called Eve that can observe these encryptions and is able to forward plaintext messages to Alice for encryption (in other words, Eve is capable of a chosen-plaintext attack ).

  7. Data structure alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment

    Data structure alignment is the way data is arranged and accessed in computer memory. It consists of three separate but related issues: data alignment , data structure padding , and packing . The CPU in modern computer hardware performs reads and writes to memory most efficiently when the data is naturally aligned , which generally means that ...

  8. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    Lookup, find, or get find the value (if any) that is bound to a given key. The argument to this operation is the key, and the value is returned from the operation. If no value is found, some lookup functions raise an exception, while others return a default value (such as zero, null, or a specific value passed to the constructor).

  9. Gather/scatter (vector addressing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gather/scatter_(vector...

    It is the vector equivalent of register indirect addressing, with gather involving indexed reads, and scatter, indexed writes. Vector processors (and some SIMD units in CPUs ) have hardware support for gather and scatter operations, as do many input/output systems, allowing large data sets to be transferred to main memory more rapidly.
