  2. Git - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git

    Git supports rapid branching and merging, and includes specific tools for visualizing and navigating a non-linear development history. In Git, a core assumption is that a change will be merged more often than it is written, as it is passed around to various reviewers. In Git, branches are very lightweight: a branch is only a reference to one ...

  3. Berkeley DB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_DB

    Berkeley DB (BDB) is an embedded database software library for key/value data, historically significant in open-source software. Berkeley DB is written in C with API bindings for many other programming languages. BDB stores arbitrary key/data pairs as byte arrays and supports multiple data items for a single key.

  4. Private information retrieval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_information_retrieval

    One trivial, but very inefficient way to achieve PIR is for the server to send an entire copy of the database to the user. In fact, this is the only possible protocol (in the classical or the quantum setting [1]) that gives the user information theoretic privacy for their query in a single-server setting. [2]

  5. Public-key cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

    In a digital signature system, a sender can use a private key together with a message to create a signature. Anyone with the corresponding public key can verify whether the signature matches the message, but a forger who does not know the private key cannot find any message/signature pair that will pass verification with the public key.

  6. File locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_locking

    Shared locks can be held by multiple processes at the same time, but an exclusive lock can only be held by one process, and cannot coexist with a shared lock. To acquire a shared lock, a process must wait until no processes hold any exclusive locks. To acquire an exclusive lock, a process must wait until no processes hold either kind of lock.

  7. Virtual private database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_database

    The term is typical of the Oracle DBMS, where the implementation is very general: tables can be associated to SQL functions, which return a predicate as a SQL expression. Whenever a query is executed, the relevant predicates for the involved tables are transparently collected and used to filter rows.

  8. Oracle Solaris - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Solaris

    Oracle Solaris is a proprietary Unix operating system offered by Oracle for SPARC and x86-64 based workstations and servers.Originally developed by Sun Microsystems as Solaris, it superseded the company's earlier SunOS in 1993 and became known for its scalability, especially on SPARC systems, and for originating many innovative features such as DTrace, ZFS and Time Slider.

  9. Disk cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_cloning

    Figure 1: An illustration of connecting two drives to a computer to clone one drive (the source drive) to another (the destination) drive. Disk cloning occurs by copying the contents of a drive called the source drive. While called "disk cloning", any type of storage medium that connects to the computer via USB, NVMe or SATA can be cloned. A ...
