	Date and Time Formats
		As different standards have their own requirements regarding granularity and flexibility, this profile offers a number of options.
		Different standards may need different levels of granularity in the date and time, so this profile defines six levels.
		If a given standard allows more than one granularity, it should specify the meaning of the dates and times with reduced precision, for example, the result of comparing two dates with different precisions.

	Multiple granularity locking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer science, multiple granularity locking (MGL), sometimes called the John Rayner locking method, is a locking method used in database management systems (DBMS) and relational databases.
		Multiple granularity locking is usually used with Non-strict two-phase locking to guarantee serializability.
		MGL uses lock escalation to determine granularity lock on a node and its ancestors.

	Granularity
		Granularity is not seen as much of an issue for database design — although I think it should be — but it cannot be avoided as an issue for system integration.
		Granularity becomes an important issue for data modelling when you are trying to map or merge information across multiple systems or data stores — because the likelihood is that the granularity doesn’t match.
		Granularity is also a problem with distributed systems, especially where web services are involved, since it may affect the number of service calls across a network, perhaps by an order of magnitude.

	Reusable Learning \| Granularity (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Granularity of digital learning resources refers to size, decomposability and the extent to which a resource is intended to be used as part of a larger resource.
		Granularity, or aggregation level, is important in defining and determining reusability.
		Each level of granularity has a different inherent degree of ability to be decomposed into more granular pieces, and each level of granualrity has different inherent expectations for reuse.

	Temporal Granularity for Unanchored Temporal Data (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In supporting temporal data that is specified in different granularities, numerous approaches have been proposed to deal with the issues of converting temporal data from one granularity to another.
		This is because a granularity in these approaches is modeled as an anchored partitioning of the time axis, thereby making it difficult to deal with granularity conversions in unanchored temporal data.
		Granularities are accommodated within the context of calendars and granularity conversions are presented and discussed in terms of unanchored durations of time.

	RFC 2063 (rfc2063) - Traffic Flow Measurement: Architecture (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A coarser granularity means a greater level of aggregation; finer granularity means a greater level of detail.
		Some mechanism must be available for the meter to tell the manager that it is in danger of exhausting its memory (by declaring a 'high water' condition), and for the manager to arbitrate (by decreasing the polling interval, letting nature take its course, or by telling the meter to ask for help sooner next time).
		Since granularity is controlled by the meter's current rule set, the manager can only change it by requesting the meter to switch to a different rule set.

		The importance of appropriate task granularity has long been recognised, and inappropriate granularity is frequently cited as the cause of poor parallel performance.
		GranSim is designed to record task granularity and track performance information in a way that aids understanding granularity, and it allows this information to be visualised at both task and aggregate levels through a variety of graphical profiles.
		The primary aims of the project are to study task granularity for the parallel implementation of a purely functional non-strict language and to improve runtime performance through exploiting statically derived granularity information.

		This is the source of the term "rms granularity" which is generally used to express granularity measurement.
		To properly characterize the granularity of negative films, we must consider the effects of the printing step and the print material.
		For example, a change in granularity from 5 to 6, or 20%, is more visually significant than a change from 10 to 11 (10%).

	Granularity Choices for Persistence
		To a first approximation, the basic unit for all granularity choices in Texas is a virtual memory page, because pointer swizzling at page fault time relies heavily on virtual memory facilities, especially to trigger data transfer and address translation.
		Sometimes, however, it is necessary to change the granularity choice for a particular issue to accommodate the special needs of unusual situations.
		It is possible to address these issues at a different granularity in a way that integrates gracefully into the general framework of Texas.

	oramoss oracle: Storage component granularity in Warehousing
		We've used granularity of 1 month per partition everywhere as it matches our current and likely future analytical and processing requirements and also means that since we're always dealing with a months worth of data at a time for most of the scheduled processing, our scalability is good.
		If the scope of the affected data loss/recovery is limited to the granularity of a single datafile (and therefore a single tablespace and partition) then the post recovery processing would be minimised by having only to redo the work to rebuild that single partition.
		By making things very granular this rebuilding of data in that single tablespace would be quicker because only 1 area of data has been broken.

	Anatomy of a Native XML Database
		The format of stored XML, as well as the granularity of stored documents, has a large effect on database design and scalability, as well as how a system may be used by an application.
		A clear disadvantage of intact document storage is that for certain applications and queries, it can take a long time, and a large amount of memory, to process a request, this is mostly due to the need to parse documents to satisfy a query.
		Because navigational operations within a document stored with fine granularity are not as expensive as those for intact document storage (due to parsing), it can be sufficient to return the document element, for further navigation.

	The Old New Thing : Why is address space allocation granularity 64K?
		So if allocation granularity were finer than 64K, a DLL that got relocated in memory would require two fixups per relocatable address: one to the upper 16 bits and one to the lower 16 bits.
		If it were possible to relocate by a value that wasn't a multiple of 64K, then the compiler would no longer be able to do this optimization since it's possible that after the relocation, the two variables no longer belonged to the same 64K block.
		Instead of constructing 32-bit values piece by piece with lda/ldah (that adds the 16-bit immediate field in the 32-bit instruction to a register) you could "just" load it from a table in memory.
