  2. Block (data storage) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_(data_storage)

    Data thus structured are said to be blocked. The process of putting data into blocks is called blocking, while deblocking is the process of extracting data from blocks. Blocked data is normally stored in a data buffer, and read or written a whole block at a time. Blocking reduces the overhead and speeds up the handling of the data stream. [3]

  3. Zero-copy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-copy

    Zero-copy programming techniques can be used when exchanging data within a user space process (i.e. between two or more threads, etc.) and/or between two or more processes (see also producer–consumer problem) and/or when data has to be accessed / copied / moved inside kernel space or between a user space process and kernel space portions of operating systems (OS).

  4. 512-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/512-bit_computing

    Also, 512-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. There are currently no mainstream general-purpose processors built to operate on 512-bit integers or addresses, though a number of processors do operate on 512-bit data.

  6. BLAKE (hash function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAKE_(hash_function)

    Like SHA-2, BLAKE comes in two variants: one that uses 32-bit words, used for computing hashes up to 256 bits long, and one that uses 64-bit words, used for computing hashes up to 512 bits long. The core block transformation combines 16 words of input with 16 working variables, but only 8 words (256 or 512 bits) are preserved between blocks.

  7. Trivial File Transfer Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivial_File_Transfer_Protocol

    The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simple lockstep communication protocol for transmitting or receiving files in a client-server application. A primary use of TFTP is in the early stages of nodes booting on a local area network when the operating system or firmware images are stored on a file server.

  8. Stream processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_processing

    The first is an example of processing a data stream using a continuous SQL query (a query that executes forever processing arriving data based on timestamps and window duration). This code fragment illustrates a JOIN of two data streams, one for stock orders, and one for the resulting stock trades.

  9. Integer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow

    The register width of a processor determines the range of values that can be represented in its registers. Though the vast majority of computers can perform multiple-precision arithmetic on operands in memory, allowing numbers to be arbitrarily long and overflow to be avoided, the register width limits the sizes of numbers that can be operated on (e.g., added or subtracted) using a single ...
