Technically, the virtualization product consists of two interdependent components: the hypervisor in the SPARC server firmware and the Logical Domains Manager software installed on the Solaris operating system running within the control domain (see Logical Domain roles, below). Because of this, each particular version of Logical Domains (Oracle ...
IBM developed the concept of hypervisors (virtual machines in CP-40 and CP-67) and in 1972 provided it for the S/370 as Virtual Machine Facility/370. [2] IBM introduced the Start Interpretive Execution (SIE) instruction (designed specifically for the execution of virtual machines) in 1983 as part of 370-XA architecture on the IBM 3081, as well as VM/XA versions of VM to exploit it.
A logical disk, logical volume or virtual disk (VD [1] or vdisk [2] for short) is a virtual device that provides an area of usable storage capacity on one or more physical disk drive(s) in a computer system. The disk is described as logical or virtual because it does not actually exist as a single physical entity in its own right. The goal of ...
Data virtualization software may include functions for development, operation, and/or management. [citation needed] A metadata engine collects, stores and analyzes information about data and metadata (data about data) in use within a domain. [8] [clarification needed] Benefits include: Reduce risk of data errors [dubious – discuss]
An alternate representation of the previous example would be: { , ,, , ′ ′, } In this example, the value of the requested F domain is directly placed in the formula and the C domain variable is re-used in the query for the existence of a department, since it already holds a crew member's ID.
A Boolean-valued function (sometimes called a predicate or a proposition) is a function of the type f : X → B, where X is an arbitrary set and where B is a Boolean domain, i.e. a generic two-element set, (for example B = {0, 1}), whose elements are interpreted as logical values, for example, 0 = false and 1 = true, i.e., a single bit of information.
Logic plays a fundamental role in computer science. Some of the key areas of logic that are particularly significant are computability theory (formerly called recursion theory), modal logic and category theory. The theory of computation is based on concepts defined by logicians and mathematicians such as Alonzo Church and Alan Turing.
For example, consider the following expression in which both variables are bound by logical quantifiers: ∀ y ∃ x ( x = y ) . {\displaystyle \forall y\,\exists x\,\left(x={\sqrt {y}}\right).} This expression evaluates to false if the domain of x {\displaystyle x} and y {\displaystyle y} is the real numbers, but true if the domain is the ...
