https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicate%20variable | In mathematical logic, a predicate variable is a predicate letter which functions as a "placeholder" for a relation (between terms), but which has not been specifically assigned any particular relation (or meaning). Common symbols for denoting predicate variables include capital roman letters such as , and , or lower ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilevel%20security | Multilevel security or multiple levels of security (MLS) is the application of a computer system to process information with incompatible classifications (i.e., at different security levels), permit access by users with different security clearances and needs-to-know, and prevent users from obtaining access to informat... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point%20theorem | In mathematics, a fixed-point theorem is a result saying that a function F will have at least one fixed point (a point x for which F(x) = x), under some conditions on F that can be stated in general terms.
In mathematical analysis
The Banach fixed-point theorem (1922) gives a general criterion guaranteeing that, if i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexapawn | Hexapawn is a deterministic two-player game invented by Martin Gardner. It is played on a rectangular board of variable size, for example on a 3×3 board or on a regular chessboard. On a board of size n×m, each player begins with m pawns, one for each square in the row closest to them. The goal of each player is to eit... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal%20design%20power | The thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, is the maximum amount of heat generated by a computer chip or component (often a CPU, GPU or system on a chip) that the cooling system in a computer is designed to dissipate under any workload.
Some sources state that the peak power rating for a mi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whetstone%20%28benchmark%29 | The Whetstone benchmark is a synthetic benchmark for evaluating the performance of computers. It was first written in Algol 60 in 1972 at the Technical Support Unit of the Department of Trade and Industry (later part of the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency) in the United Kingdom. It was derived from stati... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solovay%E2%80%93Strassen%20primality%20test | The Solovay–Strassen primality test, developed by Robert M. Solovay and Volker Strassen in 1977, is a probabilistic test to determine if a number is composite or probably prime. The idea behind the test was discovered by M. M. Artjuhov in 1967
(see Theorem E in the paper). This test has been largely superseded by the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch%20%28computer%20science%29 | A branch is an instruction in a computer program that can cause a computer to begin executing a different instruction sequence and thus deviate from its default behavior of executing instructions in order. Branch (or branching, branched) may also refer to the act of switching execution to a different instruction seque... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSI%20protocol | In computing, the MSI protocol - a basic cache-coherence protocol - operates in multiprocessor systems. As with other cache coherency protocols, the letters of the protocol name identify the possible states in which a cache line can be.
Overview
In MSI, each block contained inside a cache can have one of three possi... |
