An example of a specification is the correct operation of the hardware of a microprocessor. A well-understood root cause of faults that occur in a processor is a high-energy particle, such a neutron or alpha particle. Background A fault is a condition that causes the inability to meet a specification. Each fault has a root cause.

So before matching, the IDS/IPS has to reconstruct a TCP bytestream in the face of packet fragmentation, loss, and out-of-order delivery – a process known as reassembly. FPGAs are chosen because they are both energy efficient and available on SmartNICs). The reassembler: processing fast and slow.

The goal of WebAssembly is to execute at native speeds by taking advantage of common hardware features available on a variety of platforms. With cloud-based infrastructure, organizations can easily scale their web applications to handle increased traffic or demand without the need for expensive hardware upgrades.

And yet, Apple continued to apply stop-energy.

This adds powerfully to the usual moat-digger's weaponisation of consensus processes. Engineering stop-energy in standards and quasi-standards bodies is nice and all, but it is so much more work than simply denying anyone the ability to ship the features that you won't.

Usage reduction is a continuous process. For example, if you need to upgrade a database with a large amount of data, this process could take hours, and your instance won’t be available during this time. That’s what the vacuum process is intended for with the help of autovacuum and vacuumdb. How to remove bloat?

In addition to its goal of reducing energy costs, Shell needed to be more agile in deploying IT services and planning for user demand. It makes use of the Eagle Genomics platform running on AWS, resulting in that Unilever’s digital data program now processes genetic sequences twenty times faster—without incurring higher compute costs.

Although modern iOS hardware is powerful enough to handle many intensive and complex tasks, the device could still feel unresponsive if you are not careful about how your app performs. If you scroll a table view quickly, a lot of small chunks of memory will be allocated on the fly, and this process will make the UI janky!

A bigger problem with query is that when it matches many results, a large amount of data may need to be returned over the network to the requesting client for processing, as illustrated below. For this reason, query should be avoided when a key lookup will suffice. This can quickly saturate the network (and bog down the client).

Within a few years, we saw significant expansion of contract labor firms (or "services", or "consulting", whichever you prefer): firms like Accenture and Infosys grew rapidly, while firms like IBM ditched hardware for services.
