In computer science, a binary decision diagram (BDD) or branching program is a data structure that is used to represent a Boolean function. On a more abstract level, BDDs can be considered as a compressed representation of sets or relations. Unlike other compressed representations, operations are performed directly on the compressed ...
A timeline chart showing the evolution of Linux distributions, with each split in the diagram being called "a fork" In software engineering, a project fork happens when developers take a copy of source code from one software package and start independent development on it, creating a distinct and separate piece of software.
Illustration of the dining philosophers problem. Each philosopher has a bowl of spaghetti and can reach two of the forks. In computer science, the dining philosophers problem is an example problem often used in concurrent algorithm design to illustrate synchronization issues and techniques for resolving them.
As one of the first steps towards a coherent theory of galaxy evolution, the American astronomer Edwin Hubble, developed a classification scheme of galaxies in 1926. Although this scheme, also known as the Hubble tuning fork diagram, is now considered somewhat too simple, the basic ideas still hold...
A binary decision is a choice between two alternatives, for instance between taking some specific action or not taking it. [1] Binary decisions are basic to many fields. Examples include: Truth values in mathematical logic, and the corresponding Boolean data type in computer science, representing a value which may be chosen to be either true or ...
A new year means more viral moments of animals being animals. From Florida alligators and Oregon black bears to a Massachusetts great white shark, 2024 proved to be a big year for ferocious animal ...
A hyperbolic tree (often shortened as hypertree) is an information visualization and graph drawing method inspired by hyperbolic geometry.. A basic hyperbolic tree. Nodes in focus are placed in the center and given more room, while out-of-focus nodes are compressed near the boundaries.
