PARALLEL COMPUTATION [6 records]

Record 1 2025-03-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

With the growing need for flexibility... an embedded parallel computer is needed that finds the optimum balance between all of the available forms of parallelism, yet remains programmable. Embedded computation requires more generality/flexibility than that offered by an ASIC [application specific integrated circuit], but less generality than that offered by a general purpose processor. Therefore, the instruction set architecture of an embedded computer can be optimized for an application domain, yet remain "general purpose" within that domain.

OBS

embedded computation: designation validated by Canadian subject-field experts from Concordia University, Dalhousie University, Laval University and Microsoft Canada.

Les calculs sont également réalisés en dehors du robot et optimisés pour être réalisés en temps réel. Ici aussi, on ne respecte pas la contrainte d'un environnement instrumenté, ni les contraintes de calculs embarqués.

OBS

calcul embarqué: terme habituellement utilisé au pluriel.

OBS

calcul embarqué : désignation validée par des spécialistes canadiens de l'Université Concordia, de l'Université Dalhousie, de l'Université Laval et de Microsoft Canada.

[…] solo algunos sensores y máquinas trabajan en red y hacen uso de computación empotrada (embebida). Típicamente están organizados en una pirámide de automatización vertical en la cual los sensores, los dispositivos de campo con inteligencia limitada y los controladores de automatización están gobernados por un sistema de control global.

CONT

... any MPC algorithm can be compiled to a communication-oblivious counterpart while asymptotically preserving its round and space complexity, where communication-obliviousness ensures that any network intermediary observing the communication patterns learns no information about the secret inputs ...

Record 4 2002-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cartography
  • Mathematical Geography
DEF

Two sets of parallel lines intersecting at right angles and forming squares; the grid is superimposed on maps, charts, and other similar representations of the surface of the earth in an accurate and consistent manner to permit identification of ground locations with respect to other locations and the computation of direction and distance to other points.

OBS

military grid; grid: terms and definition standardized by NATO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cartographie
  • Géographie mathématique
DEF

Deux réseaux de lignes parallèles formant des carrés et se superposant d'une façon précise et uniforme, sur les cartes ou toute autre représentation de la surface de la terre et permettant, par rapport à certains points, l'identification d'autres points du terrain ainsi que les calculs de direction et de distance.

OBS

carroyage militaire; grille : termes et définition normalisés par l'OTAN.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Cartografía
  • Geografía matemática
DEF

Dos conjuntos de líneas paralelas, que se cortan en ángulos rectos, formando cuadrados que se superponen a los mapas, cartas y otras representaciones similares de la superficie de la Tierra, de una forma precisa y coherente, y sirven para identificar puntos sobre la superficie de la Tierra, determinando su situación con relación a otros puntos, así como para calcular distancias y direcciones.
