  2. Producer–consumer problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Producer–consumer_problem

    In computing, the producer-consumer problem (also known as the bounded-buffer problem) is a family of problems described by Edsger W. Dijkstra since 1965.. Dijkstra found the solution for the producer-consumer problem as he worked as a consultant for the Electrologica X1 and X8 computers: "The first use of producer-consumer was partly software, partly hardware: The component taking care of the ...

  3. Z-fighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-fighting

    The more z-buffer precision one uses, the less likely it is that z-fighting will be encountered. But for coplanar polygons, the problem is inevitable unless corrective action is taken. As the distance between near and far clip planes increases, and in particular the near plane is selected near the eye, the greater the likelihood exists that z ...

  4. Head-of-line blocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-of-line_blocking

    While atomic broadcast algorithms solve the single point of failure problem of centralized servers, those algorithms introduce a head-of-line blocking problem. [5] The Bimodal Multicast algorithm, a randomized algorithm that uses a gossip protocol , avoids head-of-line blocking by allowing some messages to be received out-of-order.

  5. Monitor (synchronization) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_(synchronization)

    A classic concurrency problem is that of the bounded producer/consumer, in which there is a queue or ring buffer of tasks with a maximum size, with one or more threads being "producer" threads that add tasks to the queue, and one or more other threads being "consumer" threads that take tasks out of the queue. The queue is assumed to be non ...

  6. Irregular Z-buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregular_Z-buffer

    The irregular Z-buffer is an algorithm designed to solve the visibility problem in real-time 3-d computer graphics. It is related to the classical Z-buffer in that it maintains a depth value for each image sample and uses these to determine which geometric elements of a scene are visible.

  7. Buffer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow

    Visualization of a software buffer overflow. Data is written into A, but is too large to fit within A, so it overflows into B.. In programming and information security, a buffer overflow or buffer overrun is an anomaly whereby a program writes data to a buffer beyond the buffer's allocated memory, overwriting adjacent memory locations.

  9. Tomasulo's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomasulo's_algorithm

    Compute the effective address when the base register is available, and place it in the load/store buffer If the instruction is a load then: execute as soon as the memory unit is available; Else, if the instruction is a store then: wait for the value to be stored before sending it to the memory unit
