Comp Sci Just study this Ok? Part 2
a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.
Algorithm
the process of observing systems for troubleshooting or development purposes.
Analysis
the transmission capacity of an electronic communications device or system; the speed of data transfer:
Bandwidth
computer firmware that directs many basic functions of the operating system, as booting and keyboard control.
BIOS
a piece of text, a drawing, etc., represented, as on a computer display, by the activation of certain dotsin a rectangular matrix of dots.
Bitmap
of or relating to a data type having two possible values representing "true" or "false."
Boolean
Also known as stealth, a technique used by some Web sites to deliver one page to a search engine for indexing while serving an entirely different page to everyone else.
Cloaking
complementary metal oxide semiconductor.
CMOS
the transforming of a variate into a more convenient variate.
Coding
anything created by a human using a computer. An artifact can be, but is not limited to, a program, image, audio, video, presentation, or web page file.
Computational artifact
a problem solving process that includes a number of characteristics and dispositions
Computational thinking
a code added to data that is used to detect errors occurring during transmission, storage, or retrieval.
Cyclical redundancy check
the process of documenting a complex software system design as an easily understood diagram, using text and symbols to represent the way data needs to flow.
Data models
A relationship, in the context of databases, is a situation that exists between two relational database tables when one table has a foreign key that references the primary key of the other table.Relationships allow relational databases to split and store data in different tables, while linking disparate data items.
Database relationships
to decode or decipher
Decryption
to reorganize files on (a disk) so that the parts of each file are stored in contiguous sectors on the disk,thereby improving computer performance and maximizing disk space.
Defragmentation
the ability to obtain data from a storage device by going directly to where it is physically located on the device rather than by having to sequentially look for the data at one physical location after another.
Direct access
short-term computer memory where information is stored for easy retrieval.
Easy Cache
to encipher or encode.
Encryption
a local-area network protocol featuring a bus topology and a 10 megabit per second data transfer rate
Ethernet
an expanse of open or cleared ground, especially a piece of land suitable or used for pasture or tillage.
field
a type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows.
Flowchart
an organizational structure in which items are ranked according to levels of importance.
Hierarchy
