Memory barrier — Memory barrier, also known as membar or memory fence or fence instruction, is a type of barrier and a class of instruction which causes a central processing unit (CPU) or compiler to enforce an ordering constraint on memory operations issued… … Wikipedia
Viterbi decoder — A Viterbi decoder uses the Viterbi algorithm for decoding a bitstream that has been encoded using forward error correction based on a convolutional code. There are other algorithms for decoding a convolutionally encoded stream (for example, the… … Wikipedia

Futures and promises — In computer science, future, promise, and delay refer to constructs used for synchronization in some concurrent programming languages. They describe an object that acts as a proxy for a result that is initially not known, usually because the… … Wikipedia
Convolutional code — In telecommunication, a convolutional code is a type of error correcting code in which each m bit information symbol (each m bit string) to be encoded is transformed into an n bit symbol, where m/n is the code rate (n ≥ m) and the transformation… … Wikipedia
Multi-core — A multi core processor (or chip level multiprocessor, CMP) combines two or more independent cores into a single package composed of a single integrated circuit (IC), called a die, or more dies packaged together. The individual core is normally a… … Wikipedia
