  2. Eventual consistency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eventual_consistency

    Eventual consistency is a weak guarantee – most stronger models, like linearizability, are trivially eventually consistent. Eventually-consistent services are often classified as providing BASE semantics (basically-available, soft-state, eventual consistency), in contrast to traditional ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) .

  3. Conflict-free replicated data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated...

    The compare function is included to illustrate a partial order on the states. The merge function is commutative, associative, and idempotent. The update function monotonically increases the internal state according to the compare function. This is thus a correctly defined state-based CRDT and will provide strong eventual consistency.

  4. Safety and liveness properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_and_liveness_properties

    Guaranteed eventual entry to a critical section whenever entry is attempted; Fair access to a resource in the presence of contention. The good thing in the first example is discrete but not in the others. Producing an answer within a specified real-time bound is a safety property rather than a liveness property.

  5. Consistency model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistency_model

    The processor consistency model (PC) is the most relaxed of the three models and relaxes both the constraints such that a read can complete before an earlier write even before it is made visible to other processors. In Example A, the result is possible only in IBM 370 because read(A) is not issued until the write(A) in that processor is completed.

  6. William Joseph Snelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Joseph_Snelling

    William Joseph Snelling (December 26, 1804 – December 24, 1848) was an American adventurer, writer, poet, and journalist. His short stories about Native American life were the first to attempt to accurately portray the Native Americans living on the plains and are among the first attempts at realism by an American writer.

  7. Scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability

    Strong versus eventual consistency (storage) [ edit ] In the context of scale-out data storage , scalability is defined as the maximum storage cluster size which guarantees full data consistency, meaning there is only ever one valid version of stored data in the whole cluster, independently from the number of redundant physical data copies.

  8. Linearizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linearizability

    This is a trivial example. In a real system, the operations can be more complex and the errors introduced extremely subtle. For example, reading a 64-bit value from memory may actually be implemented as two sequential reads of two 32-bit memory locations. If a process has only read the first 32 bits, and before it reads the second 32 bits the ...

  9. Continuity (fiction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_(fiction)

    For example, a character may return to Times Square in New York City several times throughout a movie, but as it is extraordinarily expensive to close off Times Square, those scenes will likely be filmed all at once to reduce permit costs. Weather, the ambiance of natural light, cast and crew availability, or any number of other circumstances ...
