Topic: Stream (computing)


  
  Stream - Computing Reference - eLook.org
A stream usually flows through a channel of some kind, as opposed to packets which may be addressed and routed independently, possibly to multiple recipients.
Streams usually require some mechanism for establishing a channel or a "connection" between the sender and receiver.
Characters may be read from (written to) a stream without knowing their actual source (destination) and buffering is provided transparently by the library routines.

 Stream-Based Computing and Future Television
In the case of streams where one of the dimensions of the (possibly virtual) source data array is unbounded (usually time), partitioning is also performed to discretize the continuous processing into segments for scheduling purposes.
The lower bound to the stream partitioning is determined by the extent of the access pattern of the function, and the scheduling overhead associated with a finer granularity.
Streams are a useful method for processing large amounts of data (as in video) regardless of the machine architecture.

 Oberlin Course Catalog--Computer Science
Students majoring in computer science at Oberlin are prepared both for further graduate studies in the discipline and also for careers in the industries and businesses that actively recruit computer scientists with a liberal arts background.
Computer Science at Oberlin is taught within the context of a liberal arts degree, with emphasis on the lasting principles of the discipline rather than on specific training in particular tools and techniques.
Since the requirements for the major in computer science are substantial, students planning to major in the discipline are encouraged to begin their course work as freshmen, taking Computer Science 150 and 151 during that year along with Mathematics 133 and 220.

In the same way, any computer with an "outside line" to the Internet is as good as any other for checking email, even if someone else owns that computer and they've got their own programs on the hard drive.
If computers are social objects like phones are, then any computer is their computer as long as their hands are on the keyboard.
A student on a wired campus, with computers in the classroom and the dorm room, sooner or later realizes that it is easier to save their work on the network or email it to themselves than to carry disks or even laptops back and forth.

 What is streaming? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Streaming technologies are becoming increasingly important with the growth of the Internet because most users do not have fast enough access to download large multimedia files quickly.
For streaming to work, the client side receiving the data must be able to collect the data and send it as a steady stream to the application that is processing the data and converting it to sound or pictures.
This means that if the streaming client receives the data more quickly than required, it needs to save the excess data in a buffer.

A strong computational infrastructure is essential for research, innovation and investment in science and technology.
Computers are playing an increasingly important role in many aspects of drug discovery and development.
Because of their importance, many larger pharmaceutical companies are hiring dozens, if not hundreds of computer specialists to develop better software to visualize drug molecules, to perform computer-aided drug design, or to mine vast databases of biological and chemical information.

Computing sciences distinguish a dichotomy of basic computing paradigms: instruction-stream-based computing (von Neumann paradigm) versus data-stream-based computing (anti machine paradigm).
Datastream-based computing is also a reason for the fast advance of embedded-memory-related markets and RandD (see flowware page).
For the anti machine the data streams have to be programmed to determine, which data item has to meet which DPU port or DPA port at which time (fig.

Its purpose is to eliminate from the stream those packets or requests that fail to meet the security criteria established by the organization.
Computer security is a key element for protecting the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of all these information assets.

One of the overall design goals is to create a computing system which is capable of meeting almost all of the present and near-future requirements of a large computer utility.
In the late spring and early summer of 1964 it became obvious that greater facility in the computing system was required if time-sharing techniques were to move from the state of an interesting pilot experiment into that of a useful prototype for remote access computer systems.
The goals are to identify the minimum mechanism that must be correct to guarantee computer enforcement of desired constraints on information access, to simplify the structure of that minimum mechanism to make verification of correctness by auditing possible, and to demonstrate by test implementation that the security kernel so developed is...

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), defined by the Signal Transport (SIGTRAN) working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), is a transport level datagram transfer protocol that operates on top of an unreliable datagram service such as Internet Protocol (IP).
An SCTP association is comprised of multiple logical streams, ensuring the sequenced delivery of user datagrams within a single stream.
Delivers sequenced datagrams in a stream; a datagram lost in one stream does not block datagrams in other streams.

In the 1960s, digital computers began changing how research was done, and speech research was no exception.
The analysis supported new computer simulations of the interaction between vocal cords and vocal tracts, using physiological factors to form natural speech synthesis, an early example of what we now call model-based coding.
Lawrence Rabiner, now a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J., and the University of California at Santa Barbara, was then a Bell Labs researcher under Flanagan.

 Stream-Oriented FPGA Computing in the Streams-C High Level Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Stream oriented processing is an important methodology used in FPGA-based parallel processing.
Characteristics of stream-oriented computing include high-data-rate flow of one or more data sources; fixed size, small stream payload (one byte to one word); compute-intensive operations, usually low precision fixed point, on the data stream; access to small local memories holding coefficients and other constants; and occasional synchronization between computational phases.
The language is implemented as a small set of library functions callable from a C language program.The Streams-C compiler synthesizes hardware circuits for multiple FPGAs as well as a multi-threaded software program for the control processor.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Utilitarianism
This epistemological doctrine, hostile to all shades of intentionalism, finds its ethical complement in the theory that our moral ideas of right and wrong, our moral judgments, and conscience itself are derived originally from the experienced results of actions.
It is the condemnation of Utilitarianism that this estimate of duty is thoroughly consistent with the system; and no defender of the utility theory has been able, though some have tried, to indicate the claims of moral obligation on Positivistic Utilitarian grounds.
Bentham drew up a curious scheme for computing the worth or weight to be assigned to all sorts of pleasures and pains, as a practical norm to determine in the concrete the moral value of any action.
