  2. Limits of computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_computation

    Several methods have been proposed for producing computing devices or data storage devices that approach physical and practical limits: A cold degenerate star could conceivably be used as a giant data storage device, by carefully perturbing it to various excited states, in the same manner as an atom or quantum well used for these purposes. Such ...

  3. In-situ processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-situ_processing

    These processing capabilities can provide an environment to run user applications in-place. The computational storage device (CSD) term refers to an SSD which is capable of running user applications in-place. In an efficient CSD architecture, the embedded in-storage processing subsystem has access to the data stored in flash memory array ...

  4. Process capability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_capability

    The process capability is a measurable property of a process to the specification, expressed as a process capability index (e.g., C pk or C pm) or as a process performance index (e.g., P pk or P pm). The output of this measurement is often illustrated by a histogram and calculations that predict how many parts will be produced out of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_capacity

    Storage capacity can refer to Thermal electric capacity mostly referring to solar power plants; Energy storage capacity; Depression storage capacity, in soil science; Computer data storage capacity, in computing Native capacity, the apparent storage capacity may differ due to compression

  6. Cloud computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing

    To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time." Measured service: "Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing ...

  7. Computer data storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage

    Computer data storage or digital data storage is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media that are used to retain digital data. It is a core function and fundamental component of computers. [1]: 15–16 The central processing unit (CPU) of a computer is what manipulates data by performing computations.

  8. Digital permanence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_permanence

    Digital permanence addresses the history and development of digital storage techniques, specifically quantifying the expected lifetime of data stored on various digital media and the factors which influence the permanence of digital data. It is often a mix of ensuring the data itself can be retained on a particular form of media and that the ...

  9. Data-intensive computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-intensive_computing

    A Roxie system is similar in its function and capabilities to Hadoop with HBase and Hive capabilities added, but provides an optimized execution environment and filesystem for high-performance online processing. Both Thor and Roxie systems utilize the same ECL programming language for implementing applications, increasing programmer productivity.
