  2. Node (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(computer_science)

    Child: A child node is a node extending from another node. For example, a computer with internet access could be considered a child node of a node representing the internet. The inverse relationship is that of a parent node. If node C is a child of node A, then A is the parent node of C. Degree: the degree of a node is the number of children of ...

  3. Distributed memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_memory

    Data can be moved on demand, or data can be pushed to the new nodes in advance. As an example, if a problem can be described as a pipeline where data x is processed subsequently through functions f, g, h, etc. (the result is h(g(f(x)))), then this can be expressed as a distributed memory problem where the data is transmitted first to the node ...

  4. Completely Fair Scheduler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completely_Fair_Scheduler

    In contrast to the previous O(1) scheduler used in older Linux 2.6 kernels, which maintained and switched run queues of active and expired tasks, the CFS scheduler implementation is based on per-CPU run queues, whose nodes are time-ordered schedulable entities that are kept sorted by red–black trees. The CFS does away with the old notion of ...

  5. Distributed operating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_operating_system

    For example, a distributed operating system may present a hard drive on one computer as "C:" and a drive on another computer as "G:". The user does not require any knowledge of device drivers or the drive's location; both devices work the same way, from the application's perspective.

  6. Concurrent data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_data_structure

    In computer science, a concurrent data structure (also called shared data structure) is a data structure designed for access and modification by multiple computing threads (or processes or nodes) on a computer, for example concurrent queues, concurrent stacks etc. The concurrent data structure is typically considered to reside in an abstract ...

  7. Chord (peer-to-peer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(peer-to-peer)

    Nodes and keys are assigned an -bit identifier using consistent hashing.The SHA-1 algorithm is the base hashing function for consistent hashing. Consistent hashing is integral to the robustness and performance of Chord because both keys and nodes (in fact, their IP addresses) are uniformly distributed in the same identifier space with a negligible possibility of collision.

  8. Message Passing Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface

    The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a portable message-passing standard designed to function on parallel computing architectures. [1] The MPI standard defines the syntax and semantics of library routines that are useful to a wide range of users writing portable message-passing programs in C, C++, and Fortran.

  9. Robot Operating System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_Operating_System

    Robot Operating System (ROS or ros) is an open-source robotics middleware suite. Although ROS is not an operating system (OS) but a set of software frameworks for robot software development , it provides services designed for a heterogeneous computer cluster such as hardware abstraction , low-level device control , implementation of commonly ...
