  2. Logarithmic number system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_number_system

    A logarithmic number system (LNS) is an arithmetic system used for representing real numbers in computer and digital hardware, especially for digital signal processing. Overview [ edit ] A number, X {\displaystyle X} , is represented in an LNS by two components: the logarithm ( x {\displaystyle x} ) of its absolute value (as a binary word ...

  3. Logarithmic decrement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_decrement

    The logarithmic decrement is defined as the natural log of the ratio of the amplitudes of any two successive peaks: where x ( t) is the overshoot (amplitude - final value) at time t and x(t + nT) is the overshoot of the peak n periods away, where n is any integer number of successive, positive peaks. The damping ratio is then found from the ...

    "The JWST science operations will be driven by ASCII (instead of binary command blocks) on-board scripts, written in a customized version of JavaScript. The script interpreter is run by the flight software, which is written in the programming language C++. The flight software operates the spacecraft and the science instruments."

  5. Logarithmic timeline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_timeline

    A logarithmic timeline is a timeline laid out according to a logarithmic scale. This necessarily implies a zero point and an infinity point, neither of which can be displayed. The most natural zero point is the Big Bang, looking forward, but the most common is the ever-changing present, looking backward. (Also possible is a zero point in the ...

  6. Syslog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog

    Syslog. In computing, syslog / ˈsɪslɒɡ / is a standard for message logging. It allows separation of the software that generates messages, the system that stores them, and the software that reports and analyzes them. Each message is labeled with a facility code, indicating the type of system generating the message, and is assigned a severity ...

  7. Database schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_schema

    Database schema. The database schema is the structure of a database described in a formal language supported typically by a relational database management system (RDBMS). The term "schema" refers to the organization of data as a blueprint of how the database is constructed (divided into database tables in the case of relational databases ).

  8. Log management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_management

    Log management is the process for generating, transmitting, storing, accessing, and disposing of log data. A log data (or logs) is composed of entries (records), and each entry contains information related to a specific event that occur within an organization’s computing assets, including physical and virtual platforms, networks, services, and cloud environments.

  9. Log-structured file system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-structured_file_system

    A log-structured filesystem is a file system in which data and metadata are written sequentially to a circular buffer, called a log. The design was first proposed in 1988 by John K. Ousterhout and Fred Douglis and first implemented in 1992 by Ousterhout and Mendel Rosenblum for the Unix-like Sprite distributed operating system. [1]
