  2. Database scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_scalability

    Database scalability is the ability of a database to handle changing demands by adding/removing resources. Databases use a host of techniques to cope. [1] According to Marc Brooker: "a system is scalable in the range where marginal cost of additional workload is nearly constant."

  3. Scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability

    A scalable system can effectively manage increased production volumes, new product lines, or expanding markets without compromising quality or performance. In this context, scalability is a vital consideration for businesses aiming to meet customer expectations, remain competitive, and achieve sustainable growth.

  4. NoSQL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL

    NoSQL (originally referring to "non-SQL" or "non-relational") [1] is an approach to database design that focuses on providing a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases. Instead of the typical tabular structure of a relational database, NoSQL databases ...

  5. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    A non-conforming contact is one in which the shapes of the bodies are dissimilar enough that, under zero load, they only touch at a point (or possibly along a line). In the non-conforming case, the contact area is small compared to the sizes of the objects and the stresses are highly concentrated in this area.

  6. Document-oriented database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document-oriented_database

    Tags and non-visible metadata: additional data outside the document content; Directory hierarchies: groups of documents organized in a tree-like structure, typically based on path or URI; Sometimes these organizational notions vary in how much they are logical vs physical, (e.g. on disk or in memory), representations.

  7. Horizontal and vertical (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_and_vertical...

    Horizontal and vertical commonly refers a concept about orientation in mathematics, geography, physics and other sciences, with the vertical typically being defined by the direction of gravity, and with the horizontal being perpendicular to the vertical. Horizontal and vertical may also refer to:

  8. Nondimensionalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondimensionalization

    List of partial differential equation topics; Differential equations of mathematical physics; Although nondimensionalization is well adapted for these problems, it is not restricted to them. An example of a non-differential-equation application is dimensional analysis; another example is normalization in statistics.

  9. Non-blocking linked list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_linked_list

    A non-blocking linked list is an example of non-blocking data structures designed to implement a linked list in shared memory using synchronization primitives: Compare-and-swap; Fetch-and-add; Load-link/store-conditional; Several strategies for implementing non-blocking lists have been suggested.
