	Durability (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In database systems, durability is the ACID property that guarantees that transactions that are successfully committed will survive permanently and will not be undone by system failure.
		Durability also guarantees that the system will not rollback the transaction because the seat was double-booked.
		Durability is usually implemented by flushing the transaction's log records to disk before acknowledging commitment.

		Advanced durability and wind noise analyses typically require computer runs greater than two weeks, and this is with coarse models on the fastest machines we have access to.
		The result was an advance in the areas of computer science that dealt with parallel processing.
		If advanced computing capability becomes available in the form of next generation supercomputers, the scientific community and the private sector would be able to utilize them for the application of new science.

		Parallel computing refers to the simultaneous use of multiple compute resources to solve a computational problem, as opposed to serial computation, in which software is executed by a single computer with a single central processing unit that performs one instruction at a time.
		These compute resources can be a single computer with multiple processors, multiple computers connected by a network, or a combination of both.
		Parallel computing is considered "high performance," and are used for numerical simulations of complex systems and processing large amounts of data, in both scientific and commerical applications.

		Since it is difficult to enforce traditional ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability) properties for the execution of such processes, ensuring the semantic correctness of concurrent process execution and recovery techniques is a challenge for service-oriented computing.
		Computer games have grown considerably in scale and complexity since their humble beginnings in the 1960s.
		A computing model like this should not only be fault-tolerant in the present of failure events, but also evolve itself to the changing environment at runtime in real-time to survive.

		In applying limit states design to durability, building enclosures and mechanical systems should be designed for a specific hygro-thermal region, rain exposure zone and interior climate class in addition to the previously mentioned structural loads:
		With drainage planes, building paper or a housewrap is installed shingle fashion underneath a cladding system to provide a method of shedding rain water that penetrates through the cladding system.
		With the barrier approach, a durable material such as masonry, stone or concrete is used as a storage reservoir to absorb penetrating rain water and then subsequently release the stored moisture to either the exterior or interior environment.

	[No title]
		In the theory of computer science, a transaction is a unit of work that is atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable.
		Durable means that once a transaction commits, it is forever committed.
		As in negotiation, for a transaction to be durable, it must be presented to an entity with the authority to commit.

		The mission, sponsored by two space-buff groups, Amateur Radio on the International Space Station and the Radio Amateur Satellite Corp. is to test the durability of the spacesuit and batteries.
		The test features questions such as whether the volume of water stays the same when it is poured into different shaped vessels.
		The notes introduce German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz's idea of a "universal algebra" for encoding logical statements, the founding principle of computer science--along with the society president's observation that the idea could not be "of soe great use as he seemed to suggest." Hooke also takes stabs at his peers, including his rival Isaac Newton.

	NSDI '06 Abstract
		First, durability can be provided separately from availability; the former is less expensive to ensure and a more useful goal for many wide-area applications.
		Second, the focus of a durability algorithm must be to create new copies of data objects faster than permanent disk failures destroy the objects; careful choice of policies for what nodes should hold what data can decrease repair time.
		A simulation of Carbonite storing 1 TB of data over a 365 day trace of PlanetLab activity shows that Carbonite is able to keep all data durable and uses 44% more network traffic than a hypothetical system that only responds to permanent failures.

	Old technology offers new answers in Columbia crash probe
		The Orbiter Experiments Recorder (OEX), which wasn't designed to have the durability of the flight data recorders used on commercial aircraft, survived the searing heat of re-entry because it was shielded by a larger section of the shuttle's interior.
		The low-tech device may have yielded the best information so far about what occurred on board during Columbia's last mission, because key parts of the modern radio telemetry being beamed back to Earth from the shuttle ended when the ship was torn apart.
		"This is a wonderful example of old stuff that's still working," said Peter Neumann, principal scientist in the computer science laboratory at SRI International, a research institute in Menlo Park, Calif. "Sometimes its the old, reliable stuff that counts.
