| | Mask (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computer science, a mask is some data that, along with an operation, are used in order to extract information stored elsewhere. | | | With the bitwise operation (NOT x) AND y, a 1 in the mask instructs that the binary datum below should be ignored, while 0s in the mask tell that the data below are to be examined. | | | Similarly, we can use a sequence of binary numbers with a piece of data of equal length used to inform as to what parts of the data should be examined. |

| | Client/Server Frequently Asked Questions |
| | In database servers, clients passes SQL (Structured Query Language) requests as messages to the server and the results of the query are returned over the network. | | | The code that processes the SQL request and the data resides on the server allowing it to use its own processing power to find the requested data, rather than pass all the records back to a client and let it find its own data as was the case for the file server. | | | Workstations support the presentation and function logic and interface with the data server through the data manipulation language.Distributed data management is an extension of remote data management and uses the distributed facilities of the DBMS to access distributed data in a manner transparent to users. |

| | Towards an information infrastructure for the grid |
| | For the promise of grid computing to be fulfilled, not only must we harness and virtualize multiple computing resources, but we must also abstract and hide the diversity and distribution of these various information sources to provide applications with a single, powerful virtual-information store for their virtual computer. | | | The analysis would be both computation- and data-intensive, but the data and computation would be dynamically distributed among multiple nodes on a grid. | | | This transparency protects the user from the details of how data are stored and accessed by the actual source systems, including the language or programming interface supported by the data source (and the dialect the source supports), how the data are physically stored, whether the data are partitioned, or the networking protocols used. |

| | Interfaces to Scientific Data Archives |
| | The large data objects and computational requirements for most analysis calculations in a molecular dynamics database combined with inherent parallelism of the algorithms employed suggest the use of parallel computers and (wide area) distributed computing environments to provide sufficient performance. | | | Another effect of the changes in computing technology is that the nature of scientific data is changing. | | | We are seeing a reversal of the conventional relationship between computer and storage: the storage system is becoming the manager and the compute process the slave. |

| | Image scanner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In computing, a scanner is a device that analyzes a physical image (such as a photograph, printed text, or handwriting) or an object (such as an ornament) and converts it to a digital image. | | | Scanners typically read red-green-blue color (RGB) data from the charge-coupled device, process it with some proprietary algorithm to correct for different exposure conditions, and send it to the computer via the device's input/output interface (usually SCSI or USB). | | | The amount of data generated by a scanner can be very large: a 600 DPI 9"x11" (slightly larger A4 paper) uncompressed 24-bit image consumes about 100 megabytes of uncompressed data in transfer and storage on the host computer. |

| | Computing and Informatics - Volume 21 |
| | With this Grid based infrastructure that provides for using and managing widely distributed computing and data resources in the science environment, there is now an opportunity to provide a standard, large-scale, computing, data, instrument, and collaboration environment for science that spans many different projects, institutions, and countries. | | | These services will integrate transient-use resources like computing systems, scientific instruments, and data caches (e.g., as they are needed to perform a simulation or analyze data from a~single experiment); persistent-use resources, such as databases, data catalogues, and archives; and collaborators, whose involvement will continue for the lifetime of a~project or longer. | | | It is natural to consider grids as tools for distributed data-intensive applications such as data mining, but the underlying patterns of computation and data movement in such applications are different from those of more conventional high-performance computation. |

| | Modernizing Bridge Safety Inspection with Process Improvement & Mobile Computing |
| | Therefore in developing processes that encompass mobile computing tools, consideration must be given to a tool that minimizes using the inspector’s hands during both inspections and inputs. | | | Because these computers have high storage capacity and high quality writing recognition, they are well suited for form-based electronic entry of field data, much as current bridge inspections are done. | | | While this process is convenient for the inspector in terms of initial data entry, one weakness is the inefficiency in gathering widely diffused data. |
