  2. Pairing (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    Pairing, sometimes known as bonding, is a process used in computer networking that helps set up an initial linkage between computing devices to allow communications between them. The most common example is used in Bluetooth , [ 1 ] where the pairing process is used to link devices like a Bluetooth headset with a mobile phone .

    After time t, thread 1 reaches barrier3 but it will have to wait for threads 2 and 3 and the correct data again. Thus, in barrier synchronization of multiple threads there will always be a few threads that will end up waiting for other threads as in the above example thread 1 keeps waiting for thread 2 and 3.

  4. Pair programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_programming

    Pair programming Pair Programming, 2009. Pair programming is a software development technique in which two programmers work together at one workstation. One, the driver, writes code while the other, the observer or navigator, [1] reviews each line of code as it is typed in. The two programmers switch roles frequently.

  5. Granularity (parallel computing) - Wikipedia

    In our example, if the number of pictures to process is high compared to the number of workers, it does not make sense to break images down into smaller units since each worker will receive enough load. If the number of pictures is small compared to the number of workers, some workers might sit idle and waste computation time.

    Also simply application or app. Computer software designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user. Common examples of applications include word processors, spreadsheets, accounting applications, web browsers, media players, aeronautical flight simulators, console games, and photo editors. This contrasts with system software, which is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-pairs_testing

    In computer science, all-pairs testing or pairwise testing is a combinatorial method of software testing that, for each pair of input parameters to a system (typically, a software algorithm), tests all possible discrete combinations of those parameters.

  9. Pairing function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairing_function

    In 1990, Regan proposed the first known pairing function that is computable in linear time and with constant space (as the previously known examples can only be computed in linear time if multiplication can be too, which is doubtful). In fact, both this pairing function and its inverse can be computed with finite-state transducers that run in ...
