First logo used from 2010 to 2017. The 2b2t Minecraft server was founded in December 2010; it has run consistently without a reset since then. [6] [1] The founders are anonymous, [7] choosing to remain unknown or known only via usernames; the most prominent founder is commonly referred to as "Hausemaster".
This allows the user to download the file in pieces, then combine the pieces after a completed download. This increases the download speed when connected to a slow server. [ 5 ] It has Metalink support, which allows multiple URLs for each file to be used, along with checksums and other information about the content. [ 5 ]
Chunked transfer encoding is a streaming data transfer mechanism available in Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) version 1.1, defined in RFC 9112 §7.1. In chunked transfer encoding, the data stream is divided into a series of non-overlapping "chunks". The chunks are sent out and received independently of one another.
A chunk is a fragment of information which is used in many multimedia file formats, such as PNG, IFF, MP3 and AVI. [1] Each chunk contains a header which indicates some parameters (e.g. the type of chunk, comments, size etc.). Following the header is a variable area containing data, which is decoded by the program from the parameters in the header.
Calls are made to heap-management routines to allocate and free memory. Heap management involves some computation time and can be a performance issue. Chunking refers to strategies for improving performance by using special knowledge of a situation to aggregate related memory-allocation requests. For example, if it is known that a certain kind ...
In Unix, the loader is the handler for the system call execve(). [1] The Unix loader's tasks include: validation (permissions, memory requirements etc.); memory-mapping the executable object from the disk into main memory; copying the command-line arguments into virtual memory; initializing registers (e.g., the stack pointer);
LOD is especially useful in 3D video games. Video game developers want to provide players with large worlds but are always constrained by hardware, frame rate and the real-time nature of video game graphics. With the advent of 3D games in the 1990s, a lot of video games simply did not render distant structures or objects.
Some of the types of information that cannot be obtained except from bedrock outcrops or by precise drilling and coring operations, are structural geology features orientations (e.g. bedding planes, fold axes, foliation), depositional features orientations (e.g. paleo-current directions, grading, facies changes), paleomagnetic orientations.
