Let’s think about making programs themselves adapt. This has been called adaptive computing by some. And no, I’m not talking about agile programming or adaptive programming. Thinking adaptively can ...

A variable is a location in memory used by a program to store data. It is given a name to identify it to the user and to the program. Variables are used to store data needed for programs to run. For ...

High Performance Computing (HPC) and parallel programming techniques underpin many of today’s most demanding computational tasks, from complex scientific simulations to data-intensive analytics. This ...

For PLC programming, U.S control engineers and technicians turn typically to ladder logic, a programming technique that’s been around since the birth of programmable logic controllers, or PLCs, in the ...

Reader, let me introduce you to Big Data. Big Data, meet Reader. Actually, there's a bit more to it than that. Big Data systems involve a wide range of technologies that can only be understood when ...

A procedure may be written to reset all the values of an array to zero, or to clear a screen.

Beginning this fall, Yale students will no longer be able to waive a prerequisite course for “Data Systems and Programming Techniques,” or CPSC 2230, via an exam. Instead, all students wishing to take ...
