redundant computation
51Amorphous computing — refers to computational systems that use very large numbers of identical, parallel processors each having limited computational ability and local interactions. The term Amorphous Computing was coined at MIT in 1996 in a paper entitled [http://www …
52Potentially visible set — Potentially Visible Sets are used to accelerate the rendering of 3D environments. This is a form of occlusion culling, whereby a candidate set of potentially visible polygons are pre computed, then indexed at run time in order to quickly obtain… …
53Computer cluster — Not to be confused with data cluster. A computer cluster is a group of linked computers, working together closely thus in many respects forming a single computer. The components of a cluster are commonly, but not always, connected to each other… …
54Non-uniform rational B-spline — Three dimensional NURBS surfaces can have complex, organic shapes. Control points influence the directions the surface takes. The outermost square below delineates the X/Y extents of the surface …

56Biological warfare — For the use of biological agents by terrorists, see bioterrorism. Weapons of mass destruction …
57Rendering (computer graphics) — Not to be confused with 3D rendering. A variety of rendering techniques applied to a single 3D scene …
58Dimensional analysis — In physics and all science, dimensional analysis is a tool to find or check relations among physical quantities by using their dimensions. The dimension of a physical quantity is the combination of the basic physical dimensions (usually mass,… …
59Database — A database is an organized collection of data for one or more purposes, usually in digital form. The data are typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality (for example, the availability of rooms in hotels), in a way that supports… …
60Formal language — A formal language is a set of words , i.e. finite strings of letters , or symbols . The inventory from which these letters are taken is called the alphabet over which the language is defined. A formal language is often defined by means of a… …
