Sun Microsystems is a multinational vendor of computers, computer software and hardware, and information technology services.
Provides access to a set of shared resources. A resource manager participates in transactions that are externally controlled and coordinated by a transaction manager. A resource manager typically is in a different address space or on a different machine from the clients that access it. Note: An enterprise information system is referred to as a resource manager when it is mentioned in the context of resource and transaction management.
Industry:Computer
Processing of sequences of data in a uniform manner, a common occurrence in manipulation of matrices (whose elements are vectors) or other arrays of data. This orderly progression of data can capitalize on the use of pipeline processing. See also array processing, pipeline.
Industry:Computer
Processes that execute in parallel in multiple processors or asynchronously on a single processor. Concurrent processes can interact with each other, and one process can suspend execution pending receipt of information from another process or the occurrence of an external event. See also process, sequential processes.
Industry:Computer
A mechanism for defining a data format for a non-XML document referenced as an unparsed entity. This is a holdover from SGML. A newer standard is to use MIME data types and namespaces to prevent naming conflicts.
Industry:Computer
One of two interfaces for an enterprise bean. The remote interface defines the business methods callable by a client.
Industry:Computer
A mechanism defined by J2SE, and used by the J2EE platform to express the programming restrictions imposed on application component developers.
Industry:Computer
A measure of when an application, system, database or service is available for use.
Industry:Computer
A measure of how well one number approximates another. For example, the accuracy of a computed result often reflects the extent to which errors in the computation cause it to differ from the mathematically exact result. Accuracy can be expressed in terms of significant digits (e.g., "The result is accurate to six digits") or more generally in terms of the preservation of relevant mathematical properties (e.g., "The result has the correct algebraic sign").
Industry:Computer
Message passing among active processes. See also circuit switching, distributed memory architecture, MBus, message passing, packet switching, shared
