  2. Block matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_matrix

    In mathematics, a block matrix or a partitioned matrix is a matrix that is interpreted as having been broken into sections called blocks or submatrices. [1] [2]Intuitively, a matrix interpreted as a block matrix can be visualized as the original matrix with a collection of horizontal and vertical lines, which break it up, or partition it, into a collection of smaller matrices.

  3. Partitioned global address space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitioned_global_address...

    In computer science, partitioned global address space (PGAS) is a parallel programming model paradigm. PGAS is typified by communication operations involving a global memory address space abstraction that is logically partitioned, where a portion is local to each process, thread, or processing element.

  4. Matrix representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_representation

    Matrix representation is a method used by a computer language to store column-vector matrices of more than one dimension in memory. Fortran and C use different schemes for their native arrays. Fortran uses "Column Major" ( AoS ), in which all the elements for a given column are stored contiguously in memory.

  5. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    Matrix representation; Morton order, another way of mapping multidimensional data to a one-dimensional index, useful in tree data structures; CSR format, a technique for storing sparse matrices in memory; Vectorization (mathematics), the equivalent of turning a matrix into the corresponding column-major vector

  6. Binary space partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_space_partitioning

    The process of making a BSP tree. In computer science, binary space partitioning (BSP) is a method for space partitioning which recursively subdivides a Euclidean space into two convex sets by using hyperplanes as partitions.

  7. Quadtree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadtree

    The region quadtree represents a partition of space in two dimensions by decomposing the region into four equal quadrants, subquadrants, and so on with each leaf node containing data corresponding to a specific subregion. Each node in the tree either has exactly four children, or has no children (a leaf node).

  8. Memory management (operating systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management...

    In operating systems, memory management is the function responsible for managing the computer's primary memory. [1]: 105–208 The memory management function keeps track of the status of each memory location, either allocated or free. It determines how memory is allocated among competing processes, deciding which gets memory, when they receive ...

  9. Loop nest optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_nest_optimization

    Loop tiling partitions a loop's iteration space into smaller chunks or blocks, so as to help ensure data used in a loop stays in the cache until it is reused. The partitioning of loop iteration space leads to partitioning of a large array into smaller blocks, thus fitting accessed array elements into cache size, enhancing cache reuse and eliminating cache size requirements.
