Buffer overflow protection — refers to various techniques used during software development to enhance the security of executable programs by detecting buffer overflows on stack allocated variables as they occur and preventing them from becoming serious security… … Wikipedia
Page replacement algorithm — This article is about algorithms specific to paging. For outline of general cache algorithms (e.g. processor, disk, database, web), see Cache algorithms. In a computer operating system that uses paging for virtual memory management, page… … Wikipedia
Painter's algorithm — The painter s algorithm, also known as a priority fill, is one of the simplest solutions to the visibility problem in 3D computer graphics. When projecting a 3D scene onto a 2D plane, it is necessary at some point to decide which polygons are… … Wikipedia
Nagle's algorithm — Nagle s algorithm, named after John Nagle, is a means of improving the efficiency of TCP/IP networks by reducing the number of packets that need to be sent over the network. Nagle s document, Congestion Control in IP/TCP Internetworks (RFC 896)… … Wikipedia
Tomasulo algorithm — The Tomasulo algorithm is a hardware algorithm developed in 1967 by Robert Tomasulo from IBM. It allows sequential instructions that would normally be stalled due to certain dependencies to execute non sequentially (out of order execution). It… … Wikipedia
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 … Wikipedia
Non-blocking algorithm — In computer science, a non blocking algorithm ensures that threads competing for a shared resource do not have their execution indefinitely postponed by mutual exclusion. A non blocking algorithm is lock free if there is guaranteed system wide… … Wikipedia
TCP congestion avoidance algorithm — The TCP uses a network congestion avoidance algorithm that includes various aspects of an additive increase multiplicative decrease (AIMD) scheme, with other schemes such as slow start in order to achieve congestion avoidance. TCP Tahoe and Reno… … Wikipedia
Schlemiel the painter's Algorithm — In software development, a Schlemiel the Painter [ s] algorithm denotes any methodology that is inefficient because the programmer has overlooked some fundamental issues at the very lowest levels of software design. The term was coined by… … Wikipedia
Circular buffer — A ring showing, conceptually, a circular buffer. This visually shows that the buffer has no real end and it can loop around the buffer. However, since memory is never physically created as a ring, a linear representation is generally used as is… … Wikipedia
Data buffer — In computer science, a buffer is a region of a physical memory storage used to temporarily hold data while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a… … Wikipedia
