#operation.data_processing (computer science) data processing in which the result is completely specified by a rule (especially the processing that results from a single instruction); "it can perform millions of operations per second"
supertype: data_processing the temporary retention of data in a processor while calculations or logical operations are performed on it
subtype: memory_access__access (computer science) the operation of reading or writing stored information
subtype: disk_access memory access to the computer disk on which information is stored
subtype: asynchronous_operation operations that occur without a regular or predictable time relation to other events
subtype: auxiliary_operation__auxiliaryoperation__off-line_operation a operation performed by off-line equipment not under the control of the central processing unit
subtype: boolean_operation__booleanoperation__binary_operation__binary_arithmetic_operation an operation that follows the rules of boolean algebra; each operand and the result take one of two values
subtype: computer_operation__machine_operation__machineoperation an elementary operation that a computer is designed and built to perform
subtype: floating-point_operation__flop an arithmetic operation performed on floating-point numbers; "this computer can perform a million flops per second"
subtype: retrieval.computer_operation (computer science) the operation of accessing information from the computer's memory
subtype: concurrent_operation two or more operations performed at the same time (or within a give interval)
subtype: control_operation__controloperation__control_function__controlfunction an operation that controls the recording or processing or transmission of interpretation of data; "a control operation started the data processing"
subtype: dyadic_operation an operation on exactly two operands
subtype: fixed-cycle_operation__fixedcycleoperation an operation that is completed in a specified number of regularly timed execution cycles
subtype: logic_operation__logicoperation__logical_operation__logicaloperation an operation that follows the rules of symbolic logic
subtype: monadic_operation__monadicoperation__unary_operation__unaryoperation an operation with exactly one operand
subtype: multiplex_operation__multiplexoperation an operation in which two or more activities are interleaved
subtype: parallel_operation__simultaneous_operation the simultaneous execution of two or more operations
subtype: printing_operation an operation that controls the printing or display of information
subtype: carriage_return the operation that prepares for the next character to be printed or displayed as the first character on a line
subtype: line_feed the operation that prepares for the next character to be printed or displayed on the next line
subtype: new_line__newline the operation that prepares for the next character to be printed or displayed as the first character on the next line
subtype: lookup__search an operation that determines whether one or more of a set of items has a specified property; "they wrote a program to do a table lookup"
subtype: serial_operation__sequential_operation__consecutive_operation__consecutiveoperation the sequential execution of operations one after another
subtype: sort.operation__sorting an operation that segregates items into groups according to a specified criterion; "the bottleneck in mail delivery it the process of sorting"
subtype: synchronous_operation__synchronousoperation operations that are initiated predictably by a clock
subtype: threshold_operation an operation performed on operands in order to obtain the value of a threshold function
subtype: majority_operation a threshold operation in which each operand is 0 or 1; output is 1 if and only if more than half the operands have the value 1
