61Loop nest optimization — (LNO) is a special case of loop transformation, dealing with nested loops, that allows large reductions in the cache bandwidth necessary for some common algorithms.Example: Matrix multiplyMany large mathematical operations on computers end up… …
62SIGFPE — Infobox Computing signal description = Erroneous arithmetic operation action = Abnormal termination of the process FPE INTDIV | Integer divide by zero FPE INTOVF | Integer overflow FPE FLTDIV | Floating point divide by zero FPE FLTOVF | Floating… …
63Affine arithmetic — (AA) is a model for self validated numerical analysis. In AA, the quantities of interest are represented as affine combinations (affine forms) of certain primitive variables, which stand for sources of uncertainty in the data or approximations… …

66Calculator — For mechanical precursors to the modern calculator, see mechanical calculator. For other uses, see Calculator (disambiguation). An electronic pocket calculator with a 7‑segment LCD display, that can perform basic arithmetic operations …
67Wilkinson's polynomial — In numerical analysis, Wilkinson s polynomial is a specific polynomial which was used by James H. Wilkinson in 1963 to illustrate a difficulty when finding the root of a polynomial: the location of the roots can be very sensitive to perturbations …
68SETI@home — ( SETI at home ) is a distributed computing (grid computing) project using Internet connected computers, hosted by the Space Sciences Laboratory, at the University of California, Berkeley, in the United States. SETI is an acronym for the Search… …
