  2. Application checkpointing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_checkpointing

    Thus the "checkpoint/restart" capability was born, in which after a number of transactions had been processed, a "snapshot" or "checkpoint" of the state of the application could be taken. If the application failed before the next checkpoint, it could be restarted by giving it the checkpoint information and the last place in the transaction file ...

  3. PyTorch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PyTorch

    In September 2022, Meta announced that PyTorch would be governed by the independent PyTorch Foundation, a newly created subsidiary of the Linux Foundation. [ 24 ] PyTorch 2.0 was released on 15 March 2023, introducing TorchDynamo , a Python-level compiler that makes code run up to 2x faster, along with significant improvements in training and ...

  4. Lightning detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_detector

    A lightning detector is a device that detects lightning produced by thunderstorms. There are three primary types of detectors: ground-based systems using multiple antennas, mobile systems using a direction and a sense antenna in the same location (often aboard an aircraft), and space-based systems .

  5. Phong reflection model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phong_reflection_model

    The Phong reflection model was developed by Bui Tuong Phong at the University of Utah, who published it in his 1975 Ph.D. dissertation. [1] [2] It was published in conjunction with a method for interpolating the calculation for each individual pixel that is rasterized from a polygonal surface model; the interpolation technique is known as Phong shading, even when it is used with a reflection ...

  6. Atmospheric electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_electricity

    Cloud-to-ground lightning. Typically, lightning discharges 30,000 amperes, at up to 100 million volts, and emits light, radio waves, x-rays and even gamma rays. [1] Plasma temperatures in lightning can approach 28,000 kelvins. Atmospheric electricity describes the electrical charges in the Earth's atmosphere (or that of another planet).

  7. Lightning injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_injury

    Lightning is neither a DC or an AC current but best described as a unidirectional massive current impulse of electrons. [11] Lightning strikes are grouped into four categories: direct strikes, side splash, contact injury, and ground current. [1] Direct strike: lightning directly hits the person

  8. Lightning activity level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Activity_Level

    Lightning Activity Levels Level Description 1 No thunderstorms: 2 Isolated thunderstorms. Lightning is very infrequent, 1–5 cloud-to-ground strikes in a five-minute period. 3 Widely scattered thunderstorms. Lightning is infrequent, 6–10 cloud-to-ground strikes in a five-minute period. 4 Scattered thunderstorms.

  9. Load line (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_line_(electronics)

    So there are many AC load lines, that vary from the DC load line (at low frequency) to a limiting AC load line, all having a common intersection at the DC operating point. This limiting load line, generally referred to as the AC load line , is the load line of the circuit at "infinite frequency", and can be found by replacing capacitors with ...
