High-context and low-context culturesIn anthropology, high-context culture and low-context culture are ends of a continuum of how explicit the messages exchanged in a culture are and how important the context is in communication. The continuum pictures how people communicate with others through their range of communication abilities: utilizing gestures, relations, body language, verbal messages, or non-verbal messages. "High-" and "low-" context cultures typically refer to language groups, nationalities, or regional communities.
Distributed cacheIn computing, a distributed cache is an extension of the traditional concept of cache used in a single locale. A distributed cache may span multiple servers so that it can grow in size and in transactional capacity. It is mainly used to store application data residing in database and web session data. The idea of distributed caching has become feasible now because main memory has become very cheap and network cards have become very fast, with 1 Gbit now standard everywhere and 10 Gbit gaining traction.
UploadUploading refers to transmitting data from one computer system to another through means of a network. Common methods of uploading include: uploading via web browsers, FTP clients], and terminals (SCP/). Uploading can be used in the context of (potentially many) clients that send files to a central server. While uploading can also be defined in the context of sending between distributed clients, such as with a peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing protocol like BitTorrent, the term is more often used in this case.
Contenu téléchargeable additionnelL'expression contenu téléchargeable additionnel (CTA) (plus connue sous la forme du sigle anglais DLC, pour « downloadable content ») désigne toute extension d'un programme informatique ou d'un jeu vidéo qu'il est possible de télécharger, gratuitement ou non. La majorité des DLC sont des extensions de jeux vidéo. Si le DLC est payant, son paiement peut s'effectuer sous forme de micropaiement, par carte bancaire ou encore en échange de points-cadeaux accumulés en achetant d'autres produits, comme permis par exemple sur les offres commerciales des consoles Xbox, et Xbox One de Microsoft.
