Sun Microsystems is a multinational vendor of computers, computer software and hardware, and information technology services.
A mesh assembly on the system used to remove dust from the air that passes through it.
Industry:Computer
A medium that can retain information for subsequent retrieval. The term is most frequently used for referring to a computer's internal storage that can be directly addressed by machine instructions. See also cache, distributed memory, shared memory.
Industry:Computer
A deployable unit that contains all Java interfaces, classes, and native libraries, implementing a resource adapter along with the resource adapter deployment descriptor.
Industry:Computer
An atomic unit of work that modifies data. A transaction encloses one or more program statements, all of which either complete or roll back. Transactions enable multiple users to access the same data concurrently.
Industry:Computer
A synchronization mechanism for coordinating tasks even when data accesses are not involved. A barrier is analogous to a gate. Processors or threads operating in parallel reach the gate at different times, but none can pass through until all processors reach the gate. For example, suppose at the end of each day, all bank tellers are required to tally the amount of money that was deposited, and the amount that was withdrawn. These totals are then reported to the bank vice president, who must check the grand totals to verify debits equal credits. The tellers operate at their own speeds; that is, they finish totaling their transactions at different times. The barrier mechanism prevents tellers from leaving for home before the grand total is checked. If debits do not equal credits, all tellers must return to their desks to find the error. The barrier is removed after the vice president obtains a satisfactory grand total.
Industry:Computer
A static or dynamic object contained in a Web application that can be referenced by a URL.
Industry:Computer
The person responsible for configuring and administering the enterprise's computers, networks, and software systems.
Industry:Computer
A standard for specifying consistency rules that apply to the specifications contained in an RDF.
Industry:Computer
A model of the world that is used to formulate a computer solution to a problem. Paradigms provide a context in which to understand and solve a real-world problem. Because a paradigm is a model, it abstracts the details of the problem from the reality, and in doing so, makes the problem easier to solve. Like all abstractions, however, the model can be inaccurate because it only approximates the real world. See also Multiple Instruction Multiple Data, Single Instruction Multiple Data, Single Instruction Single Data, Single Program Multiple Data.
