  2. Data deduplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_deduplication

    When files with same hashes are found then the file copy is removed and the new file points to the old file. Unlike hard links however, duplicated files are considered to be separate entities and if one of the duplicated files is later modified, then using a system called copy-on-write a copy of that changed file or block is created. The ...

  3. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    If, for example, the output is constrained to 32-bit integer values, then the hash values can be used to index into an array. Such hashing is commonly used to accelerate data searches. [10] Producing fixed-length output from variable-length input can be accomplished by breaking the input data into chunks of specific size.

  4. Data structure alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment

    A memory address a is said to be n-byte aligned when a is a multiple of n (where n is a power of 2). In this context, a byte is the smallest unit of memory access, i.e. each memory address specifies a different byte.

  5. Fenwick tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenwick_tree

    A Fenwick tree or binary indexed tree (BIT) is a data structure that stores an array of values and can efficiently compute prefix sums of the values and update the values. It also supports an efficient rank-search operation for finding the longest prefix whose sum is no more than a specified value.

  6. Software construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_construction

    Runtime configuration is a technique that binds variable values and program settings when the program is running, usually by updating and reading configuration files in a just-in-time mode. Internationalization is the technical activity of preparing a program, usually interactive software, to support multiple locales.

  7. Chunking (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunking_(psychology)

    The chunk, as mentioned prior, is a sequence of to-be-remembered information that can be composed of adjacent terms. These items or information sets are to be stored in the same memory code. The process of recoding is where one learns the code for a chunk, and decoding is when the code is translated into the information that it represents.

Usugiri; cut into thin slices. Ran-giri; diagonal cut into pieces of 1/2 inch in size. Hitokuchi-dai-ni-kiri; cut into bite-size pieces.

  9. DNA fragmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_fragmentation

    Apoptotic DNA fragmentation is a natural fragmentation that cells perform in apoptosis (programmed cell death). DNA fragmentation is a biochemical hallmark of apoptosis.In dying cells, DNA is cleaved by an endonuclease that fragments the chromatin into nucleosomal units, which are multiples of about 180-bp oligomers and appear as a DNA ladder when run on an agarose gel.
