Program tradingProgram trading is a type of trading in securities, usually consisting of baskets of fifteen stocks or more that are executed by a computer program simultaneously based on predetermined conditions. Program trading is often used by hedge funds and other institutional investors pursuing index arbitrage or other arbitrage strategies.
Allocation de registresDans un compilateur, l'allocation de registres est une étape importante de la génération de code. Elle vise à choisir judicieusement dans quel registre du processeur seront enregistrées les variables durant l'exécution du programme que l'on compile. Les registres sont des mémoires internes au processeur, généralement capables de contenir un mot machine. Les opérations sur des valeurs rangées dans des registres sont plus rapides que celles sur des valeurs en mémoire vive, quand ce ne sont pas les seules possibles.
EvaluationIn common usage, evaluation is a systematic determination and assessment of a subject's merit, worth and significance, using criteria governed by a set of standards. It can assist an organization, program, design, project or any other intervention or initiative to assess any aim, realisable concept/proposal, or any alternative, to help in decision-making; or to ascertain the degree of achievement or value in regard to the aim and objectives and results of any such action that has been completed.
Spéculation sur séanceLa spéculation sur séance ou spéculation à court terme (en anglais : day trading) est la pratique consistant à faire des allers-retours (achats puis ventes) spéculatifs durant la même séance. On parle également d’opérations en journée ou en séance. Les horaires d'ouverture et de fermeture des marchés ainsi que les annonces publiques augmentent fortement les variations du cours et ainsi augmentent les possibilités. Grâce aux nouvelles technologies, la spéculation sur séance a eu tendance ces dernières années à se populariser.
Interprocedural optimizationInterprocedural optimization (IPO) is a collection of compiler techniques used in computer programming to improve performance in programs containing many frequently used functions of small or medium length. IPO differs from other compiler optimizations by analyzing the entire program as opposed to a single function or block of code. IPO seeks to reduce or eliminate duplicate calculations and inefficient use of memory and to simplify iterative sequences such as loops.
Optimizing compilerIn computing, an optimizing compiler is a compiler that tries to minimize or maximize some attributes of an executable computer program. Common requirements are to minimize a program's execution time, memory footprint, storage size, and power consumption (the last three being popular for portable computers). Compiler optimization is generally implemented using a sequence of optimizing transformations, algorithms which take a program and transform it to produce a semantically equivalent output program that uses fewer resources or executes faster.
High dynamic rangeHigh dynamic range (HDR) is a dynamic range higher than usual, synonyms are wide dynamic range, extended dynamic range, expanded dynamic range. The term is often used in discussing the dynamic range of various signals such as s, videos, audio or radio. It may apply to the means of recording, processing, and reproducing such signals including analog and digitized signals. The term is also the name of some of the technologies or techniques allowing to achieve high dynamic range images, videos, or audio.
Impact evaluationImpact evaluation assesses the changes that can be attributed to a particular intervention, such as a project, program or policy, both the intended ones, as well as ideally the unintended ones. In contrast to outcome monitoring, which examines whether targets have been achieved, impact evaluation is structured to answer the question: how would outcomes such as participants' well-being have changed if the intervention had not been undertaken? This involves counterfactual analysis, that is, "a comparison between what actually happened and what would have happened in the absence of the intervention.
Courant marinvignette|upright=1.6|Principaux courants marins (en rouge les courants chauds, en bleu les courants froids) qui convoient la chaleur à l'échelle de chaque hémisphère terrestre, nord et sud séparément. Un courant marin est un déplacement horizontal d'eau de mer dû aux effets combinés du vent, de la force de Coriolis et de différences de température, densité et salinité ; ainsi qu'aux contours des continents, aux reliefs de profondeur et à l'interaction entre courants.
Kuroshiovignette|Les courants entourant le Japon : 1. Kuroshio 2. extension du Kuroshio 3. contre courant du Kuroshio 4. courant de Tsushima 5. courant Tsugaru 6. courant de Sōya 7. Oya shivo 8. courant de Liman. Le courant de Kuroshio, en japonais , anciennement orthographié Kuroshiwo ou Kuro shivo, est le second plus grand courant marin au monde, après le Gulf Stream. Il débute dans l'ouest de l'océan Pacifique au large de la côte orientale de Taïwan et se dirige vers les eaux au nord-est du Japon où il fusionne avec la dérive orientale du courant du Pacifique nord.
