	Path - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Path in hiking, often synonymous with a trail, although trail generally implies longer distances, unsurfaced ground, and natural terrain, whereas a path, particularly in an urban setting, can be much shorter, have a paved surface, and meander through landscaped areas.
		Path (graph theory), a sequence of vertices of a graph.
		Path (computing), in computer file systems, the general form of a complete file or directory name.

	ACM Computing Surveys : Geometric Path Planning
		Computing shortest paths is one of the most fundamental topics in computational geometry.
		For computing shortest paths in the 3-D space with polyhedral obstacles, Canny and Reif [Canny 1987] showed that the problem is NP-hard, and several efficient approximation algorithms have been discovered (e.g., [Choi 1994]).
		For instance, many path algorithms extensively exploit the structures of specific geometric environments (e.g., obstacles are polygons on a perfectly ``flat'' land, obstacles are stationary and are of fixed shapes, etc), and hence their efficiency hinges heavily on certain properties of these (probably simplified) environments.

	United States Patent Application: 0040218583
		The computing device places a telephone call by communicating a telephone number to the CTIA using the data communication protocol, causing the CTIA to convert the telephone number into a sequence of DTMF signals that are communicated to the telephone network according to the telephone network protocol.
		However, because computer line terminals 156a and 156b are connected to both SLIC chip 114 and balance circuit 120a, the telephone can be used to communicate with the telephone network and the computing device at the same time.
		The computing device will then instruct the CTIA to switch the telephone state switch so that the telephone is coupled to the computing device and also route the audio data of the VOIP call from the headset connected to the computing device over to the USB port that is coupled to the CTIA.

	United States Patent Application: 0040153496
		The method includes computing a tentative backup path through the data transport network, the tentative backup path including a plurality of segments, and ascertaining for one or more segments if the segment is shared by working paths having a common potential point of failure.
		Note that a backup path with a shared segment is different from a backup path solution in which the backup path is shared in its entirety by other working paths originating and terminating on the same end nodes.
		As indicated earlier, the tentative backup path is computed such that it does not share any SRs of the working path D-20-B-22-E by any of a number of different algorithms available in the literature, such as a Dikjstra type computation algorithm over colored graphs.

		When the visibility of an end to end complete path spanning multiple domains is not available at the head end node, one approach described in the document consists of using a per-domain path computation scheme used during LSP setup to determine the inter-domain LSP path as it traverses multiple domains.
		Per-domain path computation algorithm Regardless of the nature of the inter-domain TE LSP (contiguous, stitched or nested), a similar set of mechanisms for local TE LSP path computation (next hop resolution) can be used.
		Path optimality/diversity Since the inter-domain path is computed on a per domain (area, AS) basis, one cannot guarantee that the shortest inter-domain path can be found.

	Method for Computing Microwave Path Characteristics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Microwave path characteristics are determined by numerous factors including: the free space attenuation between antennae, antenna gain, losses in the cables connecting the radio equipment to the antenna, the radio equipment itself and the topology of the terrain between the antennae.
		In computing a path's characteristics all of the factors are relatively straightforward except that of the terrain's topology which must take into account the heights of land masses, trees and buildings at various points along the path.
		The most common computer systems currently available in communications sales engineering facilities where this application is used are PCs using the DOS operating system (they are not presently used to do long path calculations as a result of time limitations).

	Computer Access and Usage Policy
		PATH at the Univeristy of California Berkeley operates and maintains a collection of servers, workstations, microcomputers, and associated peripherals in order to promote its instructional, research, and administrative efforts.
		Because the goals of PATH are primarily educational in nature, computer systems are generally open to perusal and investigation by users, and security controls may be less restrictive than they would be in other environments.
		PATH facilities may not be used for any activity that is commercial in nature without first obtaining written permission to do so.

	THE PATH TO THE 150
		It was the emergence of the federal High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) Initiative that opened the path to the 150, and a successful proposal from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Scientific Computing (OSC) that comprised the first step onto this path.
		However, the technical path along which the CCS moved initially to reach "today," with its Intel Paragon XP/S 150 centerpiece, had a very different origination - the first machine was a 32 processor Kendall Square KSR1, delivered in September of 1991, prior to the existence of the CCS.
		At this point, Intel modified the structure of its forefront Paragon nodes to the MP form, three processors per node, two for computing and one for message passing; this was to be the architecture of the XP/S 150.

	Shortest paths and topological ordering
		Rather than computing one distance d(s,t), we'll compute d(s,x) for all vertices x.
		That there are two kinds of shortest paths: those formed by a single edge (s,t), and those in which the path from s to t goes through some other vertices; let's say x is the last vertex the path goes through before t.
		Then in the second case, the overall path must be formed by concatenating a path from s to x with edge (x,t).

	BOOT.INI and ARC Path Naming Conventions and Usage
		The path to each Windows NT installation is described in a single line in the BOOT.INI file for x86-based computers, however, on RISC-based computers a set of four lines is used in the computer firmware BOOT- options to point to a single Windows NT installation.
		For the purpose of explaining this example, the partitions are numbered from 1 through 7, with partition 1 and 2 identifying disks one and two on the primary channel of the EIDE controller, partition 3 on the secondary channel, and partitions 4, 5, 6, and 7 on the SCSI drive.
		When creating a new boot entry for a RISC computer the firmware steps you through a series of prompts which aids you in defining the paths correctly; so unless you are editing a boot entry that is not working any more, you should never have to directly edit the ARC paths on a RISC computer.

	distributed
		If a problem is split across several processors, either on the same computer, or on different machines distributed over a network, which communicate either via message passing or through a shared memory mechanism, it can be solved in much less time than by performing the computation on a single processor.
		A Hamiltonian path exists in a graph only if there is a connected path from a designated starting node to a designated output node that visits each node of the graph exactly once.
		The computational complexity for each time unit is dominated by step 2 of the algorithm, which requires n compares, where n is the number of nodes in the graph.
