  2. Producer–consumer problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Producer–consumer_problem

    In computing, the producer-consumer problem (also known as the bounded-buffer problem) is a family of problems described by Edsger W. Dijkstra since 1965.. Dijkstra found the solution for the producer-consumer problem as he worked as a consultant for the Electrologica X1 and X8 computers: "The first use of producer-consumer was partly software, partly hardware: The component taking care of the ...

  3. Block sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Sort

    Block sort works by extracting two internal buffers, breaking A and B subarrays into evenly sized blocks, rolling and dropping the A blocks into B (using the first buffer to track the order of the A blocks), locally merging using the second buffer as swap space, sorting the second buffer, and redistributing both buffers.

  4. Reservoir sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_sampling

    The KLRS algorithm was designed to create a flexible policy that matches class percentages in the buffer to a target distribution while employing Reservoir Sampling techniques. This is achieved by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between the current buffer distribution and the desired target distribution.

  5. Z-buffering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-buffering

    Z-buffer, by comparison, is comparatively expensive, so performing primary and secondary visibility tests relieve the z-buffer of some duty. The granularity of a z-buffer has a great influence on the scene quality: the traditional 16-bit z-buffer can result in artifacts (called "z-fighting" or stitching) when two objects are very close to each ...

  6. Samplesort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samplesort

    If a buffer is full, the buffer is written into the processors stripe, beginning at the front. There is always at least one buffer size of empty memory, because for a buffer to be written (i.e. buffer is full), at least a whole buffer size of elements more than elements written back had to be scanned.

  9. Henderson–Hasselbalch equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henderson–Hasselbalch...

    The oceans buffer system is known as the carbonate buffer system. [12] The carbonate buffer system is a series of reactions that uses carbonate as a buffer to convert into bicarbonate. [12] The carbonate buffer reaction helps maintain a constant H+ concentration in the ocean because it consumes hydrogen ions, [13] and thereby maintains a ...
