  2. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2.Each digit is referred to as a bit, or binary digit.Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used by almost all modern computers and computer-based devices, as a preferred system of use, over various other human techniques of communication, because ...

    On 3 November 2014, Mastercard announced that they were introducing a new series of BIN ranges that begin with a "2" (222100–272099). The "2" series BINs will be processed the same as the "51–55" series BINs are today. They became active 14 October 2016. On 23 July 2014 JSC NSPK was established in the Russian Federation.

  4. Binary file - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_file

    The term "binary file" is often used as a term meaning "non-text file". [2] Many binary file formats contain parts that can be interpreted as text; for example, some computer document files containing formatted text, such as older Microsoft Word document files, contain the text of the document but also contain formatting information in binary ...

  5. Bin (computational geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_(computational_geometry)

    The size of a candidate's array is the number of bins it intersects. For example, in the top figure, candidate B has 6 elements arranged in a 3 row by 2 column array because it intersects 6 bins in such an arrangement. Each bin contains the head of a singly linked list. If a candidate intersects a bin, it is chained to the bin's linked list.

  6. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    Another common way of expressing the base is writing it as a decimal subscript after the number that is being represented (this notation is used in this article). 1111011 2 implies that the number 1111011 is a base-2 number, equal to 123 10 (a decimal notation representation), 173 8 and 7B 16 (hexadecimal).

  7. Bin packing problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_packing_problem

    Bin-packing with fragmentation or fragmentable object bin-packing is a variant of the bin packing problem in which it is allowed to break items into parts and put each part separately on a different bin. Breaking items into parts may allow for improving the overall performance, for example, minimizing the number of total bin.

  8. Best-fit bin packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best-fit_bin_packing

    When an item arrives, it finds the bin with the maximum load into which the item can fit, if any. The load of a bin is defined as the sum of sizes of existing items in the bin before placing the new item. If such a bin is found, the new item is placed inside it. Otherwise, a new bin is opened and the coming item is placed inside it.

  9. Balls into bins problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balls_into_bins_problem

    The interesting case is when the bin is selected at random, or at least partially at random. A powerful balls-into-bins paradigm is the "power of two random choices [2]" where each ball chooses two (or more) random bins and is placed in the lesser-loaded bin. This paradigm has found wide practical applications in shared-memory emulations ...
