    The Map task typically executes on the same node containing its assigned partition of data in the cluster. These Map tasks perform user-specified computations on each input key–value pair from the partition of input data assigned to the task, and generates a set of intermediate results for each key.

    An OLTP system is an accessible data processing system in today's enterprises. Some examples of OLTP systems include order entry, retail sales, and financial transaction systems. [5] Online transaction processing systems increasingly require support for transactions that span a network and may include more than one company.

  4. Computer multitasking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking

    New tasks can interrupt already started ones before they finish, instead of waiting for them to end. As a result, a computer executes segments of multiple tasks in an interleaved manner, while the tasks share common processing resources such as central processing units (CPUs) and main memory. Multitasking automatically interrupts the running ...

    Multiple processes can write documents to the spool without waiting, and can then perform other tasks, while the "spooler" process operates the printer. [1] For example, when a large organization prepares payroll cheques, the computation takes only a few minutes or even seconds, but the printing process might take hours.

    The data cube contains all the possible answers to a given range of questions. As a result, they have a very fast response to queries. On the other hand, updating can take a long time depending on the degree of pre-computation. Pre-computation can also lead to what is known as data explosion.

  7. Task (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_(computing)

    The term task is used in the Linux kernel (at least since v2.6.13, [6] up to and including v4.8 [7]) to refer to a unit of execution, which may share various system resources with other tasks on the system. Depending on the level of sharing, the task may be regarded as a conventional thread or process.

  8. Automated decision-making - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_decision-making

    Automated decision-making involves using data as input to be analyzed within a process, model, or algorithm or for learning and generating new models. [7] ADM systems may use and connect a wide range of data types and sources depending on the goals and contexts of the system, for example, sensor data for self-driving cars and robotics, identity data for security systems, demographic and ...

    For example, the client data would be accessed by calling a "list_clients()" function instead of making an SQL query directly against the client table on the database. This allows the underlying database to be replaced without making any change to the other tiers. [4] There are some who view a web application as a two-tier architecture.
