parallel branch
1Branch and bound — (BB) is a general algorithm for finding optimal solutions of various optimization problems, especially in discrete and combinatorial optimization. It consists of a systematic enumeration of all candidate solutions, where large subsets of… …
2Branch predictor — In computer architecture, a branch predictor is the part of a processor that determines whether a conditional branch in the instruction flow of a program is likely to be taken or not. This is called branch prediction. Branch predictors are… …
3Parallel universe (fiction) — A parallel universe or alternative reality is a hypothetical self contained separate reality coexisting with one s own. A specific group of parallel universes is called a multiverse , although this term can also be used to describe the possible… …
4Parallel curve — An ellipse (red), its evolute (blue) and some parallel curves (green). Note how the parallel curves have cusps when they touch the evolute …

7Branch target predictor — In computer architecture, a branch target predictor is the part of a processor that predicts the target of a conditional branch or unconditional jump instruction before that instruction has been fetched from the instruction cache. The instruction …
8Parallel computation thesis — In computational complexity theory, the parallel computation thesis is a hypothesis which states that the time used by a (reasonable) parallel machine is polynomially related to the space used by a sequential machine. The parallel computation… …
