Optimisation combinatoireL’optimisation combinatoire, (sous-ensemble à nombre de solutions finies de l'optimisation discrète), est une branche de l'optimisation en mathématiques appliquées et en informatique, également liée à la recherche opérationnelle, l'algorithmique et la théorie de la complexité. Dans sa forme la plus générale, un problème d'optimisation combinatoire (sous-ensemble à nombre de solutions finies de l'optimisation discrète) consiste à trouver dans un ensemble discret un parmi les meilleurs sous-ensembles (ou solutions) réalisables, la notion de meilleure solution étant définie par une fonction objectif.
Cache control instructionIn computing, a cache control instruction is a hint embedded in the instruction stream of a processor intended to improve the performance of hardware caches, using foreknowledge of the memory access pattern supplied by the programmer or compiler. They may reduce cache pollution, reduce bandwidth requirement, bypass latencies, by providing better control over the working set. Most cache control instructions do not affect the semantics of a program, although some can.
Prefetch input queueFetching the instruction opcodes from program memory well in advance is known as prefetching and it is served by using a prefetch input queue (PIQ). The pre-fetched instructions are stored in a queue. The fetching of opcodes well in advance, prior to their need for execution, increases the overall efficiency of the processor boosting its speed. The processor no longer has to wait for the memory access operations for the subsequent instruction opcode to complete. This architecture was prominently used in the Intel 8086 microprocessor.
Alpha 21164The Alpha 21164, also known by its code name, EV5, is a microprocessor developed and fabricated by Digital Equipment Corporation that implemented the Alpha instruction set architecture (ISA). It was introduced in January 1995, succeeding the Alpha 21064A as Digital's flagship microprocessor. It was succeeded by the Alpha 21264 in 1998. First silicon of the Alpha 21164 was produced in February 1994, and the OpenVMS, Digital UNIX and Windows NT operating systems were successfully booted on it.
Data at restData at rest in information technology means data that is housed physically on computer data storage in any digital form (e.g. cloud storage, s, databases, data warehouses, spreadsheets, archives, tapes, off-site or cloud backups, mobile devices etc.). Data at rest includes both structured and unstructured data. This type of data is subject to threats from hackers and other malicious threats to gain access to the data digitally or physical theft of the data storage media.
Stock de sécuritéLe stock de sécurité est le stock jugé nécessaire pour assurer le niveau de service souhaité quand les commandes à livrer dépassent la capacité de production. Il peut être considéré comme un complément au stock de fonctionnement prenant en compte d'une part l'incertitude de la demande réelle et du réapprovisionnement et d'autre part le besoin de satisfaire la demande. Plus le gestionnaire du stock voudra être certain de répondre à la demande, plus cette demande sera imprévisible et plus les délais de réapprovisionnement seront aléatoires, plus le stock de sécurité sera important.
