| | Patch (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In computing, a patch is a small piece of software designed to update or fix problems with a computer program. | | | Because proprietary software authors withhold their source code, their patches are distributed as binary executables instead of source. | | | Patches sometimes become mandatory to fix problems with libraries or with portions of source code for programs in frequent use or in maintenance. |

| | The client network device may be an end user device, such as a personal computer, computer workstation, or any electronic computing device, or be an end user server that shares the application with a smaller, more manageable number of the end user devices within the distributed computer network. | | | Distributed computing environments in which decision making, file storage, and other network functions are not centralized but are found throughout the network are increasingly popular designs for network computing. | | | For example, distributed computing environments are employed in many existing client-server systems and peer-to-peer architectures. |

| | Define patch - a definition from Whatis.com |
| | A patch is usually developed and distributed as a replacement for or an insertion in compiled code (that is, in a binary file or object module). | | | The patch is not necessarily the best solution for the problem and the product developers often find a better solution to provide when they package the product for its next release. | | | A patch is the immediate solution that is provided to users; it can sometimes be downloaded from the software maker's Web site. |
