Peephole optimizationPeephole optimization is an optimization technique performed on a small set of compiler-generated instructions; the small set is known as the peephole or window. Peephole optimization involves changing the small set of instructions to an equivalent set that has better performance.
Interprétations de la probabilitéLe mot probabilité a été utilisé dans une variété de domaines depuis qu'il a été appliqué à l'étude mathématique des jeux de hasard. Est-ce que la probabilité mesure la tendance réelle physique de quelque chose de se produire, ou est-ce qu'elle est une mesure du degré auquel on croit qu'elle se produira, ou faut-il compter sur ces deux éléments ? Pour répondre à ces questions, les mathématiciens interprètent les valeurs de probabilité de la théorie des probabilités.
Théorie de l'estimationEn statistique, la théorie de l'estimation s'intéresse à l'estimation de paramètres à partir de données empiriques mesurées ayant une composante aléatoire. Les paramètres décrivent un phénomène physique sous-jacent tel que sa valeur affecte la distribution des données mesurées. Un estimateur essaie d'approcher les paramètres inconnus à partir des mesures.
Optimisation de boucleIn compiler theory, loop optimization is the process of increasing execution speed and reducing the overheads associated with loops. It plays an important role in improving cache performance and making effective use of parallel processing capabilities. Most execution time of a scientific program is spent on loops; as such, many compiler optimization techniques have been developed to make them faster. Since instructions inside loops can be executed repeatedly, it is frequently not possible to give a bound on the number of instruction executions that will be impacted by a loop optimization.
Likelihood principleIn statistics, the likelihood principle is the proposition that, given a statistical model, all the evidence in a sample relevant to model parameters is contained in the likelihood function. A likelihood function arises from a probability density function considered as a function of its distributional parameterization argument.
Frequentist probabilityFrequentist probability or frequentism is an interpretation of probability; it defines an event's probability as the limit of its relative frequency in many trials (the long-run probability). Probabilities can be found (in principle) by a repeatable objective process (and are thus ideally devoid of opinion). The continued use of frequentist methods in scientific inference, however, has been called into question. The development of the frequentist account was motivated by the problems and paradoxes of the previously dominant viewpoint, the classical interpretation.
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.

En radioélectricité, une antenne est un dispositif permettant de rayonner (émetteur) ou de capter (récepteur) les ondes électromagnétiques. L'antenne est un élément fondamental dans un système radioélectrique, et ses caractéristiques de rendement, gain, diagramme de rayonnement influencent directement les performances de qualité et de portée du système.
Aperture (antenna)In electromagnetics and antenna theory, the aperture of an antenna is defined as "A surface, near or on an antenna, on which it is convenient to make assumptions regarding the field values for the purpose of computing fields at external points. The aperture is often taken as that portion of a plane surface near the antenna, perpendicular to the direction of maximum radiation, through which the major part of the radiation passes.
ParameterA parameter (), generally, is any characteristic that can help in defining or classifying a particular system (meaning an event, project, object, situation, etc.). That is, a parameter is an element of a system that is useful, or critical, when identifying the system, or when evaluating its performance, status, condition, etc. Parameter has more specific meanings within various disciplines, including mathematics, computer programming, engineering, statistics, logic, linguistics, and electronic musical composition.
