  2. Convention People's Party - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_People's_Party

    The CPP suspected the Colonial Government and the Gold Coast establishment wanted to use the Coussey Committee on Constitutional Reform as a ruse to delay indefinitely progress towards independence. Anticipating that the Coussey constitutional proposals would be unacceptable, plans had been made for Positive Action which Nkrumah explained in a ...

  3. Pensions in Canada - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pensions_in_Canada

    Although one can claim a CPP pension as early as age 60 rather than the typical retirement age of 65, those who claim it at 60 have their pension reduced by 36%. Retirees can also elect to delay their CPP claim up until age 70 to increase their monthly retirement income.

  4. Cerebral perfusion pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_perfusion_pressure

    Cerebral perfusion pressure, or CPP, is the net pressure gradient causing cerebral blood flow to the brain (brain perfusion).It must be maintained within narrow limits because too little pressure could cause brain tissue to become ischemic (having inadequate blood flow), and too much could raise intracranial pressure (ICP).

  5. Busy waiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

    Spinning can also be used to generate an arbitrary time delay, a technique that was necessary on systems that lacked a method of waiting a specific length of time. Processor speeds vary greatly from computer to computer, especially as some processors are designed to dynamically adjust speed based on current workload. [ 1 ]

  6. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    In many other languages, evaluation can be delayed by explicitly suspending the computation using special syntax (as with Scheme's "delay" and "force" and OCaml's "lazy" and "Lazy.force") or, more generally, by wrapping the expression in a thunk. The object representing such an explicitly delayed evaluation is called a lazy future.

  7. Loop unrolling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_unrolling

    Loop unrolling, also known as loop unwinding, is a loop transformation technique that attempts to optimize a program's execution speed at the expense of its binary size, which is an approach known as space–time tradeoff.

  8. Exponential backoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff

    The time delay is usually measured in slots, which are fixed-length periods (or slices) of time on the network. In a binary exponential backoff algorithm (i.e. one where b = 2 ), after c collisions, each retransmission is delayed by a random number of slot times between 0 and 2 c − 1 .

  9. Capital Purchase Program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Purchase_Program

    The Capital Purchase Program or CPP is an American government preferred stock and equity warrant purchase program conducted by the US Treasury Office of Financial Stability as part of Troubled Asset Relief Program (aka, TARP) that was launched in 2008.
