Gestion de la mémoireLa gestion de la mémoire est une forme de gestion des ressources appliquée à la mémoire de l'ordinateur. L'exigence essentielle de la gestion de la mémoire est de fournir des moyens d'allouer dynamiquement des portions de mémoire aux programmes à leur demande, et de les libérer pour réutilisation lorsqu'elles ne sont plus nécessaires. Ceci est essentiel pour tout système informatique avancé où plus d'un processus peuvent être en cours à tout moment. Catégorie:Architecture informatique Catégorie:Pages avec
Memory protectionMemory protection is a way to control memory access rights on a computer, and is a part of most modern instruction set architectures and operating systems. The main purpose of memory protection is to prevent a process from accessing memory that has not been allocated to it. This prevents a bug or malware within a process from affecting other processes, or the operating system itself. Protection may encompass all accesses to a specified area of memory, write accesses, or attempts to execute the contents of the area.
Memory pagingIn computer operating systems, memory paging (or swapping on some Unix-like systems) is a memory management scheme by which a computer stores and retrieves data from secondary storage for use in main memory. In this scheme, the operating system retrieves data from secondary storage in same-size blocks called pages. Paging is an important part of virtual memory implementations in modern operating systems, using secondary storage to let programs exceed the size of available physical memory.
Message Passing InterfaceMessage Passing Interface (MPI) est un outil pour le calcul scientifique à haute performance qui permet d'utiliser plusieurs ordinateurs. C'est une norme conçue en 1993-94 pour le passage de messages entre ordinateurs distants ou dans un ordinateur multiprocesseur. Elle est devenue de facto un standard de communication pour des nœuds exécutant des programmes parallèles sur des systèmes à mémoire distribuée. Elle définit une bibliothèque de fonctions, utilisable avec les langages C, C++ et Fortran.
Central processing unitA central processing unit (CPU)—also called a central processor or main processor—is the most important processor in a given computer. Its electronic circuitry executes instructions of a computer program, such as arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output (I/O) operations. This role contrasts with that of external components, such as main memory and I/O circuitry, and specialized coprocessors such as graphics processing units (GPUs). The form, design, and implementation of CPUs have changed over time, but their fundamental operation remains almost unchanged.
Memory consolidationMemory consolidation is a category of processes that stabilize a memory trace after its initial acquisition. A memory trace is a change in the nervous system caused by memorizing something. Consolidation is distinguished into two specific processes. The first, synaptic consolidation, which is thought to correspond to late-phase long-term potentiation, occurs on a small scale in the synaptic connections and neural circuits within the first few hours after learning.
Vision processing unitA vision processing unit (VPU) is (as of 2023) an emerging class of microprocessor; it is a specific type of AI accelerator, designed to accelerate machine vision tasks. Vision processing units are distinct from video processing units (which are specialised for video encoding and decoding) in their suitability for running machine vision algorithms such as CNN (convolutional neural networks), SIFT (scale-invariant feature transform) and similar.
