The name "butterfly" comes from the shape of the data-flow diagram in ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twiddle%20factor | A twiddle factor, in fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms, is any of the trigonometric constant coefficients that are multiplied by the data in the course of the algorithm. This term was apparently coined by Gentleman & Sande in 1966, and has since become widespread in thousands of papers of the FFT literature.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code%20bloat | In computer programming, code bloat is the production of program code (source code or machine code) that is perceived as unnecessarily long, slow, or otherwise wasteful of resources. Code bloat can be caused by inadequacies in the programming language in which the code is written, the compiler used to compile it, or th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge%20disjoint%20shortest%20pair%20algorithm | Edge disjoint shortest pair algorithm is an algorithm in computer network routing. The algorithm is used for generating the shortest pair of edge disjoint paths between a given pair of vertices. For an undirected graph G(V, E), it is stated as follows:
Run the shortest path algorithm for the given pair of vertices

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup%20%28web%20application%20hybrid%29 | A mashup (computer industry jargon), in web development, is a web page or web application that uses content from more than one source to create a single new service displayed in a single graphical interface. For example, a user could combine the addresses and photographs of their library branches with a Google map to c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper%28I%29%20iodide | Copper(I) iodide is the inorganic compound with the formula CuI. It is also known as cuprous iodide. It is useful in a variety of applications ranging from organic synthesis to cloud seeding.
Copper(I) iodide is white, but samples often appear tan or even, when found in nature as rare mineral marshite, reddish brown... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet%20Experiment%20Note | An Internet Experiment Note (IEN) is a sequentially numbered document in a series of technical publications issued by the participants of the early development work groups that created the precursors of the modern Internet.
After DARPA began the Internet program in earnest in 1977, the project members were in need of ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazy%20Sighted%20Link%20State%20Routing%20Protocol | The Hazy-Sighted Link State Routing Protocol (HSLS) is a wireless mesh network routing protocol being developed by the CUWiN Foundation. This is an algorithm allowing computers communicating via digital radio in a mesh network to forward messages to computers that are out of reach of direct radio contact. Its network ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duxelles | Duxelles () is a French cuisine term that refers to a mince of mushrooms, onions, herbs (such as thyme or parsley), and black pepper, sautéed in butter and reduced to a paste. Cream is sometimes used, and some recipes add a dash of madeira or sherry.
It is a basic preparation used in stuffings and sauces (notably, Be... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay-tolerant%20networking | Delay-tolerant networking (DTN) is an approach to computer network architecture that seeks to address the technical issues in heterogeneous networks that may lack continuous network connectivity. Examples of such networks are those operating in mobile or extreme terrestrial environments, or planned networks in space.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric%20game | In game theory, a symmetric game is a game where the payoffs for playing a particular strategy depend only on the other strategies employed, not on who is playing them. If one can change the identities of the players without changing the payoff to the strategies, then a game is symmetric. Symmetry can come in differe... |
