In computer security, a cold boot attack (or to a lesser extent, a platform reset attack) is a type of side channel attack in which an attacker with physical access to a computer performs a memory dump of a computer's random-access memory (RAM) by performing a hard reset of the target machine. Typically, cold boot atta...

Stream Reservation Protocol (SRP) is an enhancement to Ethernet that implements admission control. In September 2010 SRP was standardized as IEEE 802.1Qat which has subsequently been incorporated into IEEE 802.1Q-2011. SRP defines the concept of streams at layer 2 of the OSI model. Also provided is a mechanism for end-...

The Chudnovsky algorithm is a fast method for calculating the digits of , based on Ramanujan's formulae. It was published by the Chudnovsky brothers in 1988. It was used in the world record calculations of 2.7 trillion digits of in December 2009, 10 trillion digits in October 2011, 22.4 trillion digits in November 2...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equisatisfiability
In mathematical logic (a subtopic within the field of formal logic), two formulae are equisatisfiable if the first formula is satisfiable whenever the second is and vice versa; in other words, either both formulae are satisfiable or both are not. Equisatisfiable formulae may disagree, however, for a particular choice o...

In Riemannian geometry, a branch of mathematics, the prescribed Ricci curvature problem is as follows: given a smooth manifold M and a symmetric 2-tensor h, construct a metric on M whose Ricci curvature tensor equals h. See also Prescribed scalar curvature problem References Thierry Aubin, Some nonlinear problems i...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescribed%20scalar%20curvature%20problem
In Riemannian geometry, a branch of mathematics, the prescribed scalar curvature problem is as follows: given a closed, smooth manifold M and a smooth, real-valued function ƒ on M, construct a Riemannian metric on M whose scalar curvature equals ƒ. Due primarily to the work of J. Kazdan and F. Warner in the 1970s, thi...
