  2. Cloud computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing

    In the PaaS models, cloud providers deliver a computing platform, typically including an operating system, programming-language execution environment, database, and the web server. Application developers develop and run their software on a cloud platform instead of directly buying and managing the underlying hardware and software layers.

  3. MapReduce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce

    MapReduce is a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating big data sets with a parallel and distributed algorithm on a cluster. [1] [2] [3]A MapReduce program is composed of a map procedure, which performs filtering and sorting (such as sorting students by first name into queues, one queue for each name), and a reduce method, which performs a summary ...

  4. Programming model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_model

    This invocation of an outside execution model is the defining characteristic of a programming model, in contrast to a programming language. In parallel computing, the execution model often must expose features of the hardware in order to achieve high performance. The large amount of variation in parallel hardware causes a concurrent need for a ...

  5. Platform as a service - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_as_a_service

    Platform as a service (PaaS) or application platform as a service (aPaaS) or platform-based service is a cloud computing service model where users provision, instantiate, run and manage a modular bundle of a computing platform and applications, without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure associated with developing and launching application(s), and to allow developers ...

  6. Parallel programming model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_programming_model

    In computing, a parallel programming model is an abstraction of parallel computer architecture, with which it is convenient to express algorithms and their composition in programs. The value of a programming model can be judged on its generality : how well a range of different problems can be expressed for a variety of different architectures ...

  7. Runtime system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runtime_system

    Even API-invoked standalone execution models, such as Pthreads (POSIX threads), have a runtime system that implements the execution model's behavior. Most scholarly papers on runtime systems focus on the implementation details of parallel runtime systems. A notable example of a parallel runtime system is Cilk, a popular parallel programming ...

  8. Computation offloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation_offloading

    Mobile cloud computing is the combination of cloud computing and mobile computing, in which mobile devices perform computation offloading to balance the power of the cloud for accelerating application execution and saving energy consumption. In this computation offloading, a mobile device migrates part of its computing to the cloud.

  9. Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, arbitration introduces unbounded nondeterminism which raises issues with model checking because it causes explosion in the state space and can even cause models to have an infinite number of states. Some concurrent programming models include coprocesses and deterministic concurrency.
