2. Producer–consumer problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Producer–consumer_problem

   In computing, the producer-consumer problem (also known as the bounded-buffer problem) is a family of problems described by Edsger W. Dijkstra since 1965.. Dijkstra found the solution for the producer-consumer problem as he worked as a consultant for the Electrologica X1 and X8 computers: "The first use of producer-consumer was partly software, partly hardware: The component taking care of the ...

3. End-user computing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-user_computing

   End-user computing. End-user computing (EUC) refers to systems in which non-programmers can create working applications. [1] EUC is a group of approaches to computing that aim to better integrate end users into the computing environment. These approaches attempt to realize the potential for high-end computing to perform problem-solving in a ...

4. Coding interview - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_interview

   A coding interview, technical interview, programming interview or Microsoft interview is a technical problem-based job interview technique to assess applicants for a computer programming or software development position. Modern coding interview techniques were pioneered by Microsoft during the 1990s [1] and adopted by other large technology ...

5. Interval scheduling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_scheduling

   Interval scheduling. Interval scheduling is a class of problems in computer science, particularly in the area of algorithm design. The problems consider a set of tasks. Each task is represented by an interval describing the time in which it needs to be processed by some machine (or, equivalently, scheduled on some resource).

6. Master theorem (analysis of algorithms) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_theorem_(analysis...

   In the analysis of algorithms, the master theorem for divide-and-conquer recurrences provides an asymptotic analysis for many recurrence relations that occur in the analysis of divide-and-conquer algorithms. The approach was first presented by Jon Bentley, Dorothea Blostein (née Haken), and James B. Saxe in 1980, where it was described as a ...

7. P versus NP problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem

   The P versus NP problem is a major unsolved problem in theoretical computer science. Informally, it asks whether every problem whose solution can be quickly verified can also be quickly solved. Here, quickly means an algorithm that solves the task and runs in polynomial time exists, meaning the task completion time is bounded above by a ...

8. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

   The subset sum problem (SSP) is a decision problem in computer science. In its most general formulation, there is a multiset of integers and a target-sum , and the question is to decide whether any subset of the integers sum to precisely .[1] The problem is known to be NP-complete. Moreover, some restricted variants of it are NP-complete too ...

9. Dutch national flag problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_national_flag_problem

   The Dutch national flag problem[1] is a computational problem proposed by Edsger Dijkstra. [2] The flag of the Netherlands consists of three colors: red, white, and blue. Given balls of these three colors arranged randomly in a line (it does not matter how many balls there are), the task is to arrange them such that all balls of the same color ...
