  2. Exponentiation by squaring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation_by_squaring

    This method is an efficient variant of the 2 k-ary method. For example, to calculate the exponent 398, which has binary expansion (110 001 110) 2, we take a window of length 3 using the 2 k-ary method algorithm and calculate 1, x 3, x 6, x 12, x 24, x 48, x 49, x 98, x 99, x 198, x 199, x 398.

  3. de Bruijn sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_sequence

    This power of 2 is multiplied (arithmetic modulo 2 32) by the de Bruijn sequence, thus producing a 32-bit product in which the bit sequence of the 5 MSBs is unique for each power of 2. The 5 MSBs are shifted into the LSB positions to produce a hash code in the range [0, 31], which is then used as an index into hash table BitPositionLookup.

  4. Bitonic sorter - Wikipedia

    It follows that the number of comparators is bounded (+) / ⌊ / ⌋ (+) / (which establishes an exact value for when is a power of 2). Although the absolute number of comparisons is typically higher than Batcher's odd-even sort , many of the consecutive operations in a bitonic sort retain a locality of reference , making implementations more ...

  5. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    For example, one can add N numbers either by a simple loop that adds each datum to a single variable, or by a D&C algorithm called pairwise summation that breaks the data set into two halves, recursively computes the sum of each half, and then adds the two sums. While the second method performs the same number of additions as the first and pays ...

  6. Power of two - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_two

    Two to the power of n, written as 2 n, is the number of values in which the bits in a binary word of length n can be set, where each bit is either of two values. A word, interpreted as representing an integer in a range starting at zero, referred to as an "unsigned integer", can represent values from 0 (000...000 2) to 2 n − 1 (111...111 2) inclusively.

  7. The Power of 10: Rules for Developing Safety-Critical Code

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_10:_Rules_for...

    Avoid complex flow constructs, such as goto and recursion. All loops must have fixed bounds. This prevents runaway code. Avoid heap memory allocation. Restrict functions to a single printed page. Use a minimum of two runtime assertions per function. Restrict the scope of data to the smallest possible.

  8. Recamán's sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recamán's_sequence

    In mathematics and computer science, Recamán's sequence [1] [2] is a well known sequence defined by a recurrence relation. Because its elements are related to the previous elements in a straightforward way, they are often defined using recursion.

  9. Constant-recursive sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-recursive_sequence

    is constant-recursive because it satisfies the linear recurrence = +: each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two. [2] Other examples include the power of two sequence ,,,,, …, where each number is the sum of twice the previous number, and the square number sequence ,,,,, ….
