2. Hidden-line removal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden-line_removal

   In 1966 Ivan E. Sutherland listed 10 unsolved problems in computer graphics. [3] Problem number seven was "hidden-line removal". In terms of computational complexity, this problem was solved by Frank Devai in 1986. [4] Models, e.g. in computer-aided design, can have thousands or millions of edges. Therefore, a computational-complexity approach ...

3. Hidden-surface determination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden-surface_determination

   In 3D computer graphics, hidden-surface determination (also known as shown-surface determination, hidden-surface removal (HSR), occlusion culling (OC) or visible-surface determination (VSD)) is the process of identifying what surfaces and parts of surfaces can be seen from a particular viewing angle.

4. Painter's algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painter's_algorithm

   A fractal landscape being rendered using the painter's algorithm on an Amiga. The painter's algorithm (also depth-sort algorithm and priority fill) is an algorithm for visible surface determination in 3D computer graphics that works on a polygon-by-polygon basis rather than a pixel-by-pixel, row by row, or area by area basis of other Hidden-Surface Removal algorithms.

5. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

   One example is the Linux kernel's EDAC subsystem (previously known as Bluesmoke), which collects the data from error-checking-enabled components inside a computer system; besides collecting and reporting back the events related to ECC memory, it also supports other checksumming errors, including those detected on the PCI bus.

6. Spatial anti-aliasing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_anti-aliasing

   In computer graphics, anti-aliasing improves the appearance of "jagged" polygon edges, or "jaggies", so they are smoothed out on the screen. However, it incurs a performance cost for the graphics card and uses more video memory. The level of anti-aliasing determines how smooth polygon edges are (and how much video memory it consumes).

7. Software bug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug

   A software bug is a design defect in computer software. A computer program with many or serious bugs may be described as buggy . The effects of a software bug range from minor (such as a misspelled word in the user interface ) to severe (such as frequent crashing ).
