  2. Longest-processing-time-first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest-processing-time...

    Longest-processing-time-first (LPT) is a greedy algorithm for job scheduling. The input to the algorithm is a set of jobs, each of which has a specific processing-time. There is also a number m specifying the number of machines that can process the jobs. The LPT algorithm works as follows:

  3. Plotting algorithms for the Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotting_algorithms_for...

    For values within the Mandelbrot set, escape will never occur. The programmer or user must choose how many iterations–or how much "depth"–they wish to examine. The higher the maximal number of iterations, the more detail and subtlety emerge in the final image, but the longer time it will take to calculate the fractal image.

  4. CPU time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_time

    CPU time (or process time) is the amount of time that a central processing unit (CPU) was used for processing instructions of a computer program or operating system. CPU time is measured in clock ticks or seconds. Sometimes it is useful to convert CPU time into a percentage of the CPU capacity, giving the CPU usage.

  5. Instructions per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second

    Gibson divided computer instructions into 12 classes, based on the IBM 704 architecture, adding a 13th class to account for indexing time. Weights were primarily based on analysis of seven scientific programs run on the 704, with a small contribution from some IBM 650 programs. The overall score was then the weighted sum of the average ...

  6. Shortest job next - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_job_next

    Shortest job next (SJN), also known as shortest job first (SJF) or shortest process next (SPN), is a scheduling policy that selects for execution the waiting process with the smallest execution time. [1] SJN is a non-preemptive algorithm. Shortest remaining time is a preemptive variant of SJN.

  7. List of optimization software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optimization_software

    Given a transformation between input and output values, described by a mathematical function, optimization deals with generating and selecting the best solution from some set of available alternatives, by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set, computing the output of the function and recording the best output values found during the process.

  8. List comprehension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_comprehension

    Here, the list [0..] represents , x^2>3 represents the predicate, and 2*x represents the output expression.. List comprehensions give results in a defined order (unlike the members of sets); and list comprehensions may generate the members of a list in order, rather than produce the entirety of the list thus allowing, for example, the previous Haskell definition of the members of an infinite list.

  9. Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set

    The set is defined in the complex plane as the complex numbers for which the function () = + does not diverge to infinity when iterated starting at =, i.e., for which the sequence (), (()), etc., remains bounded in absolute value. This set was first defined and drawn by Robert W. Brooks and Peter Matelski in 1978, as part of a study of Kleinian ...
