  2. Thrashing (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrashing_(computer_science)

    In computer science, thrashing occurs in a system with virtual memory when a computer's real storage resources are overcommitted, leading to a constant state of paging and page faults, slowing most application-level processing. [1] This causes the performance of the computer to degrade or even collapse. The situation can continue indefinitely ...

  3. Computer architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_architecture

    The first documented computer architecture was in the correspondence between Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, describing the analytical engine.While building the computer Z1 in 1936, Konrad Zuse described in two patent applications for his future projects that machine instructions could be stored in the same storage used for data, i.e., the stored-program concept.

  4. List of software architecture styles and patterns - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_software...

    Software architecture patterns operate at a higher level of abstraction than software design patterns, solving broader system-level challenges. While these patterns typically affect system-level concerns, the distinction between architectural patterns and architectural styles can sometimes be blurry. Examples include Circuit Breaker.

  5. Model synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Synthesis

    Model synthesis (also wave function collapse or 'wfc') is a family of constraint-solving algorithms commonly used in procedural generation, especially in the video game industry. Some video games known to have utilized variants of the algorithm include Bad North , Townscaper , and Caves of Qud .

  6. Architecture description language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_description...

    Architecture description languages (ADLs) are used in several disciplines: system engineering, software engineering, and enterprise modelling and engineering.. The system engineering community uses an architecture description language as a language and/or a conceptual model to describe and represent system architectures.

  7. PageNet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageNet

    PageNet, also known as Paging Network, Inc., was founded in 1981 by entrepreneur George Perrin and ceased in 1999.. The company grew to become the largest wireless messaging company in the world, with more than 10 million pagers in service, and $1 billion in revenues, before the paging industry's rapid decline in the late 1990s.

  8. Minimal instruction set computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_instruction_set...

    Minimal instruction set computer (MISC) is a central processing unit (CPU) architecture, usually in the form of a microprocessor, with a very small number of basic operations and corresponding opcodes, together forming an instruction set. Such sets are commonly stack-based rather than register-based to reduce the size of operand specifiers.

  9. Round-trip engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-trip_engineering

    Round-trip engineering (RTE) in the context of model-driven architecture is a functionality of software development tools that synchronizes two or more related software artifacts, such as, source code, models, configuration files, documentation, etc. between each other. [1]
