  2. Random access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_access

    Random access (also called direct access) is the ability to access an arbitrary element of a sequence in equal time or any datum from a population of addressable elements roughly as easily and efficiently as any other, no matter how many elements may be in the set. In computer science it is typically contrasted to sequential access which ...

  3. Algorithmic skeleton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic_skeleton

    Thus, providing file transfer support that integrates with skeleton programming is a key concern which has been mostly overlooked. Skeleton set is the list of supported skeleton patterns. Skeleton sets vary greatly from one framework to the other, and more shocking, some skeletons with the same name have different semantics on different frameworks.

  4. Basic direct access method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_direct_access_method

    Basic Direct Access Method, or BDAM is an access method for IBM's OS/360 and successors computer operating systems on System/360 and later mainframes. BDAM "consists of routines used in retrieving data from, and storing data onto, direct access devices." [1]: p.5 BDAM is available on OS/360, OS/VS2, MVS, z/OS, and related high-end operating ...

  5. Sequential access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_access

    Sequential access compared to random access. Sequential access is a term describing a group of elements (such as data in a memory array or a disk file or on magnetic-tape data storage) being accessed in a predetermined, ordered sequence. It is the opposite of random access, the ability to access an arbitrary element of a sequence as easily and ...

  6. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    In computer science, control flow (or flow of control) is the order in which individual statements, instructions or function calls of an imperative program are executed or evaluated. The emphasis on explicit control flow distinguishes an imperative programming language from a declarative programming language.

  7. ISAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISAM

    Indexed Sequential Access Method (ISAM) is a method for creating, maintaining, and manipulating computer files of data so that records can be retrieved sequentially or randomly by one or more keys. Indexes of key fields are maintained to achieve fast retrieval of required file records in indexed files .

  8. Virtual Storage Access Method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_storage_access_method

    Non-Shared Resources (NSR), which is optimised for sequential access. NSR access has historically been easier to use than LSR for batch programs. [12] Distributed File Management (DFM), an implementation of a Distributed Data Management Architecture server, enables programs on remote computers to create, manage, and access VSAM files.

  9. Continuation-passing style - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation-passing_style

    This is contrasted with direct style, which is the usual style of programming. Gerald Jay Sussman and Guy L. Steele, Jr. coined the phrase in AI Memo 349 (1975), which sets out the first version of the Scheme programming language. [1] [2] John C. Reynolds gives a detailed account of the numerous discoveries of continuations. [3]
