  2. Data orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_orientation

    The two most common representations are column-oriented (columnar format) and row-oriented (row format). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The choice of data orientation is a trade-off and an architectural decision in databases , query engines, and numerical simulations. [ 1 ]

  3. Chunk (information) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunk_(information)

    A chunk is a fragment of information which is used in many multimedia file formats, such as PNG, IFF, MP3 and AVI. [1] Each chunk contains a header which indicates some parameters (e.g. the type of chunk, comments, size etc.). Following the header is a variable area containing data, which is decoded by the program from the parameters in the header.

  4. Column family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Column_family

    A column family is a database object that contains columns of related data. It is a tuple (pair) that consists of a key–value pair , where the key is mapped to a value that is a set of columns. In analogy with relational databases, a column family is as a "table", each key-value pair being a "row".

  5. Chunked transfer encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding

    In chunked transfer encoding, the data stream is divided into a series of non-overlapping "chunks". The chunks are sent out and received independently of one another. No knowledge of the data stream outside the currently-being-processed chunk is necessary for both the sender and the receiver at any given time.

  6. Chunking (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    In data deduplication, data synchronization and remote data compression, Chunking is a process to split a file into smaller pieces called chunks by the chunking algorithm. It can help to eliminate duplicate copies of repeating data on storage, or reduces the amount of data sent over the network by only selecting changed chunks.

  7. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    Producing fixed-length output from variable-length input can be accomplished by breaking the input data into chunks of specific size. Hash functions used for data searches use some arithmetic expression that iteratively processes chunks of the input (such as the characters in a string) to produce the hash value. [10]

  8. R (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)

    R is a programming language for statistical computing and data visualization.It has been adopted in the fields of data mining, bioinformatics and data analysis. [9]The core R language is augmented by a large number of extension packages, containing reusable code, documentation, and sample data.

  9. Software construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_construction

    The number of parameters of a routine should be 7 at maximum as research has found that people generally cannot keep track of more than about seven chunks of information at once. Source code organization (into classes, packages, or other structures). When considering containment, the maximum number of data members in a class shouldn't exceed 7 ...
