execution algorithm

Algorithm — Flow chart of an algorithm (Euclid s algorithm) for calculating the greatest common divisor (g.c.d.) of two numbers a and b in locations named A and B. The algorithm proceeds by successive subtractions in two loops: IF the test B ≤ A yields yes… …   Wikipedia

Algorithm characterizations — The word algorithm does not have a generally accepted definition. Researchers are actively working in formalizing this term. This article will present some of the characterizations of the notion of algorithm in more detail. This article is a… …   Wikipedia

Tomasulo algorithm — The Tomasulo algorithm is a hardware algorithm developed in 1967 by Robert Tomasulo from IBM. It allows sequential instructions that would normally be stalled due to certain dependencies to execute non sequentially (out of order execution). It… …   Wikipedia

Chan's algorithm — In computational geometry, Chan s algorithm, named after Timothy M. Chan, is an optimal output sensitive algorithm to compute the convex hull of a set P of n points, in 2 or 3 dimensional space. The algorithm takes O(n log h) time, where h is the …   Wikipedia

Markov algorithm — In theoretical computer science, a Markov algorithm is a string rewriting system that uses grammar like rules to operate on strings of symbols. Markov algorithms have been shown to be Turing complete, which means that they are suitable as a… …   Wikipedia

Divide and conquer algorithm — In computer science, divide and conquer (D C) is an important algorithm design paradigm based on multi branched recursion. A divide and conquer algorithm works by recursively breaking down a problem into two or more sub problems of the same (or… …   Wikipedia

Nondeterministic algorithm — In computer science, a nondeterministic algorithm is an algorithm that can exhibit different behaviors on different runs, as opposed to a deterministic algorithm. There are several ways an algorithm may behave differently from run to run. A… …   Wikipedia

Competitive analysis (online algorithm) — Competitive analysis is a method invented for analyzing online algorithms, in which the performance of an online algorithm (which must satisfy an unpredictable sequence of requests, completing each request without being able to see the future) is …   Wikipedia

Peterson's algorithm — is a concurrent programming algorithm for mutual exclusion that allows two processes to share a single use resource without conflict, using only shared memory for communication. It was formulated by Gary Peterson in 1981 at the University of… …   Wikipedia

Out-of-order execution — In computer engineering, out of order execution (OoOE or OOE) is a paradigm used in most high performance microprocessors to make use of instruction cycles that would otherwise be wasted by a certain type of costly delay. In this paradigm, a… …   Wikipedia
