  2. Lami's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lami's_theorem

    Lami's theorem. In physics, Lami 's theorem is an equation relating the magnitudes of three coplanar, concurrent and non-collinear vectors, which keeps an object in static equilibrium, with the angles directly opposite to the corresponding vectors. According to the theorem, {\displaystyle {\frac {v_ {A}} {\sin \alpha }}= {\frac {v_ {B}} {\sin ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varignon's_theorem_(mechanics)

    Varignon's theorem is a theorem of French mathematician Pierre Varignon (1654–1722), published in 1687 in his book Projet d'une nouvelle mécanique. The theorem states that the torque of a resultant of two concurrent forces about any point is equal to the algebraic sum of the torques of its components about the same point.

  4. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

    Concurrent computing is a form of computing in which several computations are executed concurrently —during overlapping time periods—instead of sequentially— with one completing before the next starts. This is a property of a system—whether a program, computer, or a network —where there is a separate execution point or "thread of ...

  5. Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_(computer_science)

    Concurrency (computer science) In computer science, concurrency is the ability of different parts or units of a program, algorithm, or problem to be executed out-of-order or in partial order, without affecting the outcome. This allows for parallel execution of the concurrent units, which can significantly improve overall speed of the execution ...

  6. Parallel computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing

    Large supercomputers such as IBM's Blue Gene/P are designed to heavily exploit parallelism. Parallel computing is a type of computation in which many calculations or processes are carried out simultaneously. [ 1 ] Large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which can then be solved at the same time.

  7. Concurrent resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_resolution

    A concurrent resolution is a resolution (a legislative measure) adopted by both houses of a bicameral legislature that lacks the force of law (is non-binding) and does not require the approval of the chief executive (president). Concurrent resolutions are typically adopted to regulate the internal affairs of the legislature that adopted them ...

  8. Race condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition

    The precise definition of data race differs across formal concurrency models. This matters because concurrent behavior is often non-intuitive and so formal reasoning is sometimes applied. The C++ standard, in draft N4296 (2014-11-19), defines data race as follows in section 1.10.23 (page 14) [6] Two actions are potentially concurrent if

  9. Linearizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linearizability

    Linearizability is important in these concurrent systems where objects may be accessed by multiple processes at the same time and a programmer needs to be able to reason about the expected results. An execution of a concurrent system results in a history, an ordered sequence of completed operations.
