Cache prefetchingCache prefetching is a technique used by computer processors to boost execution performance by fetching instructions or data from their original storage in slower memory to a faster local memory before it is actually needed (hence the term 'prefetch'). Most modern computer processors have fast and local cache memory in which prefetched data is held until it is required. The source for the prefetch operation is usually main memory.
Non uniform memory accessEn informatique, un système NUMA (pour non uniform memory access ou non uniform memory architecture, signifiant respectivement accès mémoire non uniforme et architecture mémoire non uniforme) est un système multiprocesseur dans lequel les zones mémoire sont séparées et placées en différents endroits (et sur différents bus). Vis-à-vis de chaque processeur, les temps d'accès diffèrent donc suivant la zone mémoire accédée.
Cache-oblivious algorithmIn computing, a cache-oblivious algorithm (or cache-transcendent algorithm) is an algorithm designed to take advantage of a processor cache without having the size of the cache (or the length of the cache lines, etc.) as an explicit parameter. An optimal cache-oblivious algorithm is a cache-oblivious algorithm that uses the cache optimally (in an asymptotic sense, ignoring constant factors). Thus, a cache-oblivious algorithm is designed to perform well, without modification, on multiple machines with different cache sizes, or for a memory hierarchy with different levels of cache having different sizes.
Direct Attached Storagevignette|DAS avec connecteur USB et Firewire Direct Attached Storage (DAS) est le terme utilisé pour un système de disque dur en attachement direct, par opposition au NAS qui est en attachement réseau. Le système disque ainsi installé n'est accessible directement qu'aux machines auquel il est raccordé. Les modes de raccordement au serveur peuvent être ATA, SATA, eSATA, NVMe, SCSI, SAS, USB, USB 3.0, IEEE 1394 ou encore Fibre Channel (FC)..

Computer memoryComputer memory stores information, such as data and programs for immediate use in the computer. The term memory is often synonymous with the term primary storage or main memory. An archaic synonym for memory is store. Computer memory operates at a high speed compared to storage which is slower but less expensive and higher in capacity. Besides storing opened programs, computer memory serves as disk cache and write buffer to improve both reading and writing performance.
Object storageObject storage (also known as object-based storage) is a computer data storage that manages data as objects, as opposed to other storage architectures like which manages data as a file hierarchy, and block storage which manages data as blocks within sectors and tracks. Each object typically includes the data itself, a variable amount of metadata, and a globally unique identifier. Object storage can be implemented at multiple levels, including the device level (object-storage device), the system level, and the interface level.
Mémoire virtuellethumb|Schéma de principe de la mémoire virtuelle. En informatique, le mécanisme de mémoire virtuelle a été mis au point dans les années 1960. Il repose sur l'utilisation de traduction à la volée des adresses (virtuelles) vues du logiciel, en adresses physiques de mémoire vive. La mémoire virtuelle permet : d'utiliser de la mémoire de masse comme extension de la mémoire vive ; d'augmenter le taux de multiprogrammation ; de mettre en place des mécanismes de protection de la mémoire ; de partager la mémoire entre processus.
Adressage mémoireL’adressage mémoire est, en électronique et en informatique, la façon dont se fait l'accès aux données conservées en mémoire. Une adresse mémoire est un nombre entier naturel (rarement une autre sorte d'identifiant) qui désigne une zone particulière de la mémoire, ou juste le début d'une zone. Le plus souvent, une donnée peut être lue ou écrite. La mémoire peut être temporaire (mémoire vive) pour le travail ou au contraire durable (mémoire non volatile) pour le stockage.
Optimization problemIn mathematics, computer science and economics, an optimization problem is the problem of finding the best solution from all feasible solutions. Optimization problems can be divided into two categories, depending on whether the variables are continuous or discrete: An optimization problem with discrete variables is known as a discrete optimization, in which an object such as an integer, permutation or graph must be found from a countable set.
Stream processingIn computer science, stream processing (also known as event stream processing, data stream processing, or distributed stream processing) is a programming paradigm which views streams, or sequences of events in time, as the central input and output objects of computation. Stream processing encompasses dataflow programming, reactive programming, and distributed data processing. Stream processing systems aim to expose parallel processing for data streams and rely on streaming algorithms for efficient implementation.
