  2. Data redundancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_redundancy

    While different in nature, data redundancy also occurs in database systems that have values repeated unnecessarily in one or more records or fields, ...

  3. Soft error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_error

    System-level soft errors occur when the data being processed is hit with a noise phenomenon, typically when the data is on a data bus. The computer tries to interpret the noise as a data bit, which can cause errors in addressing or processing program code. The bad data bit can even be saved in memory and cause problems at a later time.

  4. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a non-secure hash function designed to detect accidental changes to digital data in computer networks. It is not suitable for detecting maliciously introduced errors.

  5. Redundancy (information theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundancy_(information...

    The quantity is called the relative redundancy and gives the maximum possible data compression ratio, when expressed as the percentage by which a file size can be decreased. (When expressed as a ratio of original file size to compressed file size, the quantity R : r {\displaystyle R:r} gives the maximum compression ratio that can be achieved.)

  6. Digital obsolescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_obsolescence

    Bitstream copying (or data backup) is a foundational operation often employed before many other practices, and facilitates establishing the redundancy of multiple storage locations: refreshing is the transportation of unchanging data, frequently between identical or functionally similar storage formats, while migration converts the format or ...

  7. Cyclic redundancy check - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check

    A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an error-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to digital data. [1] [2] Blocks of data entering these systems get a short check value attached, based on the remainder of a polynomial division of their contents. On retrieval, the calculation is ...

  8. Denormalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denormalization

    Denormalization is a strategy used on a previously-normalized database to increase performance. In computing, denormalization is the process of trying to improve the read performance of a database, at the expense of losing some write performance, by adding redundant copies of data or by grouping data.

  9. Redundancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundancy

    Redundancy (information theory), the number of bits used to transmit a message minus the number of bits of actual information in the message; Redundancy in total quality management, quality which exceeds the required quality level, creating unnecessarily high costs; The same task executed by several different methods in a user interface
