  2. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    An n-bit LUT can encode any n-input Boolean function by storing the truth table of the function in the LUT. This is an efficient way of encoding Boolean logic functions, and LUTs with 4-6 bits of input are in fact the key component of modern field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) which provide reconfigurable hardware logic capabilities.

  3. Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel

    Excel offers many user interface tweaks over the earliest electronic spreadsheets; however, the essence remains the same as in the original spreadsheet software, VisiCalc: the program displays cells organized in rows and columns, and each cell may contain data or a formula, with relative or absolute references to other cells. Excel 2.0 for ...

  4. Reference counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting

    Thus, weighted reference counting is most useful in parallel, multiprocess, database, or distributed applications. The primary problem with simple weighted reference counting is that destroying a reference still requires accessing the reference count, and if many references are destroyed, this can cause the same bottlenecks we seek to avoid.

  5. Data validation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_validation

    For example, an input box accepting numeric data may reject the letter 'O'. File existence check Checks that a file with a specified name exists. This check is essential for programs that use file handling. Format check Checks that the data is in a specified format (template), e.g., dates have to be in the format YYYY-MM-DD.

  6. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    Note how the use of A[i][j] with multi-step indexing as in C, as opposed to a neutral notation like A(i,j) as in Fortran, almost inevitably implies row-major order for syntactic reasons, so to speak, because it can be rewritten as (A[i])[j], and the A[i] row part can even be assigned to an intermediate variable that is then indexed in a separate expression.

  7. Logarithmic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale

    A logarithmic unit is a unit that can be used to express a quantity (physical or mathematical) on a logarithmic scale, that is, as being proportional to the value of a logarithm function applied to the ratio of the quantity and a reference quantity of the same type. The choice of unit generally indicates the type of quantity and the base of the ...

    Python – uses thread-based parallelism and process-based parallelism [6] Raku [7] Rust; Scala – implements Erlang-style actors on the JVM; SequenceL – purely functional, automatically parallelizing and race-free; SR – research language; V (Vlang) Unified Parallel C; XProc – XML processing language, enabling concurrency

  9. Selection algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_algorithm

    As a baseline algorithm, selection of the th smallest value in a collection of values can be performed by the following two steps: . Sort the collection; If the output of the sorting algorithm is an array, retrieve its th element; otherwise, scan the sorted sequence to find the th element.
