  2. Pairing (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairing_(computing)

    Pairing, sometimes known as bonding, is a process used in computer networking that helps set up an initial linkage between computing devices to allow communications between them. The most common example is used in Bluetooth , [ 1 ] where the pairing process is used to link devices like a Bluetooth headset with a mobile phone .

  3. Synchronization (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization_(computer...

    After time t, thread 1 reaches barrier3 but it will have to wait for threads 2 and 3 and the correct data again. Thus, in barrier synchronization of multiple threads there will always be a few threads that will end up waiting for other threads as in the above example thread 1 keeps waiting for thread 2 and 3.

  4. All-pairs testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-pairs_testing

    In computer science, all-pairs testing or pairwise testing is a combinatorial method of software testing that, for each pair of input parameters to a system (typically, a software algorithm), tests all possible discrete combinations of those parameters.

  6. Granularity (parallel computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granularity_(parallel...

    The goal should be to maximize parallelization (split work into enough units to evenly distribute it across most available processors) while minimizing communication overhead (ratio of time spend on communication vs time spend on computation). In our example, if the number of pictures to process is high compared to the number of workers, it ...

  7. Wi-Fi Direct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Direct

    The "pairing" of Wi-Fi Direct devices can be set up to require the proximity of a near field communication, a Bluetooth signal, or a button press on one or all the devices. Simultaneous connections also allow one device connected via an infrastructure local area network to the Internet to share the Internet connection to devices it is connected ...

  8. Pairing function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairing_function

    In 1990, Regan proposed the first known pairing function that is computable in linear time and with constant space (as the previously known examples can only be computed in linear time if multiplication can be too, which is doubtful). In fact, both this pairing function and its inverse can be computed with finite-state transducers that run in ...

    Bob Bemer used the term time-sharing in his 1957 article "How to consider a computer" in Automatic Control Magazine and it was reported the same year he used the term time-sharing in a presentation. [6] [8] [9] In a paper published in December 1958, W. F. Bauer wrote that "The computers would handle a number of problems concurrently ...
