  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 .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_term...

    Names of many computer terms, especially computer applications, often relate to the function they perform, e.g., a compiler is an application that compiles (programming language source code into the computer's machine language). However, there are other terms with less obvious origins, which are of etymological interest. This article lists such ...

    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 ...

  6. Granularity (parallel computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granularity_(parallel...

    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.

  8. All-pairs testing - Wikipedia

    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. Axiom of pairing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_pairing

    The case n = 2 is the axiom of pairing with A = A 1 and B = A 2. The cases n > 2 can be proved using the axiom of pairing and the axiom of union multiple times. For example, to prove the case n = 3, use the axiom of pairing three times, to produce the pair {A 1,A 2}, the singleton {A 3}, and then the pair {{A 1,A 2},{A 3}}.
