  2. Sleep (system call) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_(system_call)

    The sleep() function call can be repeatedly called for short periods of time to slow the execution of a running program or code. Throttling code in this manner provides a coarse mechanism for mitigating the effects of overheating hardware [7] or easing timing issues for legacy programs. The downside to cycling sleep and running states rather ...

  3. Hamming (7,4) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming(7,4)

    The Hamming(7,4) code is closely related to the E 7 lattice and, in fact, can be used to construct it, or more precisely, its dual lattice E 7 ∗ (a similar construction for E 7 uses the dual code [7,3,4] 2).

  4. Busy waiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

    Busy-waiting itself can be made much less wasteful by using a delay function (e.g., sleep()) found in most operating systems. This puts a thread to sleep for a specified time, during which the thread will waste no CPU time. If the loop is checking something simple then it will spend most of its time asleep and will waste very little CPU time.

  5. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    The code-rate is hence a real number. A low code-rate close to zero implies a strong code that uses many redundant bits to achieve a good performance, while a large code-rate close to 1 implies a weak code. The redundant bits that protect the information have to be transferred using the same communication resources that they are trying to protect.

  6. Block code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_code

    This code transforms a message consisting of 4 bits into a codeword of 7 bits by adding 3 parity bits. Hence this code is a block code. It turns out that it is also a linear code and that it has distance 3. In the shorthand notation above, this means that the Hamming(7,4) code is a [,,] code.

  9. Zen of Python - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_of_Python

    The Zen of Python is a collection of 19 "guiding principles" for writing computer programs that influence the design of the Python programming language. [1] Python code that aligns with these principles is often referred to as "Pythonic". [2] Software engineer Tim Peters wrote this set of principles and posted it on the Python mailing list in ...
