  2. M'Naghten rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M'Naghten_rules

    The House of Lords delivered the following exposition of the rules: . the jurors ought to be told in all cases that every man is to be presumed to be sane, and to possess a sufficient degree of reason to be responsible for his crimes, until the contrary be proved to their satisfaction; and that to establish a defence on the ground of insanity, it must be clearly proved that, at the time of the ...

  3. Thompson's construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson's_construction

    In computer science, Thompson's construction algorithm, also called the McNaughton–Yamada–Thompson algorithm, [1] is a method of transforming a regular expression into an equivalent nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA). [2] This NFA can be used to match strings against the regular expression. This algorithm is credited to Ken Thompson.

  4. Independent Chip Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Chip_Model

    In addition to the payout structure, a Malmuth-Harville ICM calculator would also require the chip counts of all players as input, [8] which may not always be available. The Malmuth-Harville model also gives poor estimates for unlikely events, and is computationally intractable with many players.

  5. Inter-process communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-process_communication

    In computer science, interprocess communication (IPC) is the sharing of data between running processes in a computer system. Mechanisms for IPC may be provided by an operating system . Applications which use IPC are often categorized as clients and servers , where the client requests data and the server responds to client requests. [ 1 ]

  6. Classic RISC pipeline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_RISC_pipeline

    The first example of the SUB followed by AND and the second example of LD followed by AND can be solved by stalling the first stage by three cycles until write-back is achieved, and the data in the register file is correct, causing the correct register value to be fetched by the AND's Decode stage. This causes quite a performance hit, as the ...

  7. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

    The simplest example given by Thimbleby of a possible problem when using an immediate-execution calculator is 4 × (−5). As a written formula the value of this is −20 because the minus sign is intended to indicate a negative number, rather than a subtraction, and this is the way that it would be interpreted by a formula calculator.

  8. Computational problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_problem

    For example, the problem of factoring "Given a positive integer n, find a nontrivial prime factor of n." is a computational problem that has a solution, as there are many known integer factorization algorithms. A computational problem can be viewed as a set of instances or cases together with a, possibly empty, set of solutions for every ...

  9. Karp's 21 NP-complete problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karp's_21_NP-complete_problems

    In computational complexity theory, Karp's 21 NP-complete problems are a set of computational problems which are NP-complete.In his 1972 paper, "Reducibility Among Combinatorial Problems", [1] Richard Karp used Stephen Cook's 1971 theorem that the boolean satisfiability problem is NP-complete [2] (also called the Cook-Levin theorem) to show that there is a polynomial time many-one reduction ...
