  2. External sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_sorting

    external sorting algorithm. External sorting is a class of sorting algorithms that can handle massive amounts of data.External sorting is required when the data being sorted do not fit into the main memory of a computing device (usually RAM) and instead they must reside in the slower external memory, usually a disk drive.

  3. Program evaluation and review technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_Evaluation_and...

    PERT network chart for a seven-month project with five milestones (10 through 50) and six activities (A through F). The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) is a statistical tool used in project management, which was designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project.

  4. PERT distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PERT_distribution

    In probability and statistics, the PERT distributions are a family of continuous probability distributions defined by the minimum (a), most likely (b) and maximum (c) values that a variable can take. It is a transformation of the four-parameter beta distribution with an additional assumption that its expected value is

  5. File size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size

    File size is a measure of how much data a computer file contains or how much storage space it is allocated. Typically, file size is expressed in units based on byte. A large value is often expressed with a metric prefix (as in megabyte and gigabyte) or a binary prefix (as in mebibyte and gibibyte). [1]

  6. Critical path method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_path_method

    The project has two critical paths: activities B and C, or A, D, and F – giving a minimum project time of 7 months with fast tracking. Activity E is sub-critical, and has a float of 1 month. The critical path method (CPM), or critical path analysis (CPA), is an algorithm for scheduling a set of project activities. [1]

  7. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    Windows automatically sets the size of the page file to start at 1.5× the size of physical memory, and expand up to 3× physical memory if necessary. If a user runs memory-intensive applications on a system with low physical memory, it is preferable to manually set these sizes to a value higher than default.

  8. Average memory access time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_memory_access_time

    AMAT uses hit time, miss penalty, and miss rate to measure memory performance.It accounts for the fact that hits and misses affect memory system performance differently.

  9. Best, worst and average case - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best,_worst_and_average_case

    For example, the best case for a simple linear search on a list occurs when the desired element is the first element of the list. Development and choice of algorithms is rarely based on best-case performance: most academic and commercial enterprises are more interested in improving average-case complexity and worst-case performance .
