  2. Karel (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    Karel is an educational programming language for beginners, created by Richard E. Pattis in his book Karel The Robot: A Gentle Introduction to the Art of Programming. Pattis used the language in his courses at Stanford University, California. The language is named after Karel Čapek, a Czech writer who introduced the word robot in his play R.U ...

  3. Futures and promises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises

    In computer science, futures, promises, delays, and deferreds are constructs used for synchronizing program execution in some concurrent programming languages. Each is an object that acts as a proxy for a result that is initially unknown, usually because the computation of its value is not yet complete.

  4. Transmission time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_time

    In telecommunication networks, the transmission time is the amount of time from the beginning until the end of a message transmission. In the case of a digital message, it is the time from the first bit until the last bit of a message has left the transmitting node.

  5. "Hello, World!" program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"Hello,_World!"_program

    "Time to hello world" (TTHW) is the time it takes to author a "Hello, World!" program in a given programming language. This is one measure of a programming language's ease of use. Since the program is meant as an introduction for people unfamiliar with the language, a more complex "Hello, World!"

  6. Bandwidth-delay product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth-delay_product

    In data communications, the bandwidth-delay product is the product of a data link's capacity (in bits per second) and its round-trip delay time (in seconds). [1] The result, an amount of data measured in bits (or bytes), is equivalent to the maximum amount of data on the network circuit at any given time, i.e., data that has been transmitted but not yet acknowledged.

  7. Carry-skip adder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry-skip_adder

    A carry-skip adder [nb 1] (also known as a carry-bypass adder) is an adder implementation that improves on the delay of a ripple-carry adder with little effort compared to other adders. The improvement of the worst-case delay is achieved by using several carry-skip adders to form a block-carry-skip adder.

  8. Exponential backoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff

    The throughput-delay results of the two retransmission methods were compared by extensive simulations and found to be essentially the same. [8] Lam’s model provides mathematically rigorous answers to the stability questions of slotted ALOHA, as well as an efficient algorithm for computing the throughput-delay performance for any stable system.

  9. Quasi-delay-insensitive circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-delay-insensitive...

    A quasi-delay-insensitive circuit (QDI circuit) is an asynchronous circuit design methodology employed in digital logic design.Developed in response to the performance challenges of building sub-micron, multi-core architectures with conventional synchronous designs, QDI circuits exhibit lower power consumption, extremely fine-grain pipelining, high circuit robustness against process–voltage ...
