  3. Exponential backoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff

    For example, if the ceiling is set at i = 10 in a truncated binary exponential backoff algorithm, (as it is in the IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD standard [14]), then the maximum delay is 1023 slot times, i.e. 2 10 − 1. Selecting an appropriate backoff limit for a system involves striking a balance between collision probability and latency.

  9. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    In programming language theory, lazy evaluation, or call-by-need, [1] is an evaluation strategy which delays the evaluation of an expression until its value is needed (non-strict evaluation) and which avoids repeated evaluations (by the use of sharing).
