  2. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law

    Amdahl's law. The theoretical speedup of the latency (via a reduction of latency, ie: latency as a metric is elapsed time between an input and output in a system) of the execution of a program as a function of the number of processors executing it, according to Amdahl's law. The speedup is limited by the serial part of the program.

  3. Advanced Vector Extensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions

    Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2), also known as Haswell New Instructions, [ 24] is an expansion of the AVX instruction set introduced in Intel's Haswell microarchitecture. AVX2 makes the following additions: expansion of most vector integer SSE and AVX instructions to 256 bits. Gather support, enabling vector elements to be loaded from non ...

  4. Table of explosive detonation velocities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_explosive...

    Table of explosive detonation velocities. This is a compilation of published detonation velocities for various high explosive compounds. Detonation velocity is the speed with which the detonation shock wave travels through the explosive. It is a key, directly measurable indicator of explosive performance, but depends on density which must ...

  5. CT scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

    The main limitation of this type of CT is the bulk and inertia of the equipment (X-ray tube assembly and detector array on the opposite side of the circle) which limits the speed at which the equipment can spin. Some designs use two X-ray sources and detector arrays offset by an angle, as a technique to improve temporal resolution. [8] [9]

  6. McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_F/A-18...

    The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is an all-weather supersonic, twin-engine, carrier -capable, multirole combat aircraft, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation ). Designed by McDonnell Douglas and Northrop, the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and ...

  7. Computer mouse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_mouse

    A typical wireless computer mouse. A computer mouse (plural mice, also mouses) [ nb 1] is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a surface. This motion is typically translated into the motion of the pointer (called a cursor) on a display, which allows a smooth control of the graphical user interface of a ...

  8. Swarm intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarm_intelligence

    Swarm intelligence ( SI) is the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems, natural or artificial. The concept is employed in work on artificial intelligence. The expression was introduced by Gerardo Beni and Jing Wang in 1989, in the context of cellular robotic systems. [ 1][ 2] SI systems consist typically of a population of ...

  9. List of countries and dependencies by population density

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and...

    This is a list of countries and dependencies ranked by population density, sorted by inhabitants per square kilometre or square mile. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. The list also includes unrecognized but de facto independent countries.
