-
administrative data processing, business data processing
data processing in accounting or business management
-
ADP, automatic data processing
data processing by a computer
-
data mining
data processing using sophisticated data search capabilities and statistical algorithms to discover patterns and correlations in large preexisting databases; a way to discover new meaning in data
-
distributed data processing, remote-access data processing, teleprocessing
data processing in which some of the functions are performed in different places and connected by transmission facilities
-
list processing
processing data that is given in the form of chained lists
-
multiprocessing, parallel processing
simultaneous processing by two or more processing units
-
operation
(computer science) data processing in which the result is completely specified by a rule (especially the processing that results from a single instruction)
-
priority processing
data processing in which the operations performed are determined by a system of priorities
-
real-time operation, real-time processing
data processing fast enough to keep up with an outside process
-
serial processing
sequential processing by two or more processing units
-
word processing
rapid and efficient processing (storage and printing) of linguistic data for composition and editing
-
access, memory access
(computer science) the operation of reading or writing stored information
-
asynchronous operation
operations that occur without a regular or predictable time relation to other events
-
auxiliary operation, off-line operation
a operation performed by off-line equipment not under the control of the central processing unit
-
background processing, backgrounding
the execution of low priority programs while higher priority programs are not using the processing system
-
binary arithmetic operation, binary operation, boolean operation
an operation that follows the rules of Boolean algebra; each operand and the result take one of two values
-
computer operation, machine operation
an elementary operation that a computer is designed and built to perform
-
concurrent operation
two or more operations performed at the same time (or within a give interval)
-
control function, control operation
an operation that controls the recording or processing or transmission of interpretation of data
-
dyadic operation
an operation on exactly two operands
-
EDP, electronic data processing
automatic data processing by electronic means without the use of tabulating cards or punched tapes
-
fixed-cycle operation
an operation that is completed in a specified number of regularly timed execution cycles
-
foreground processing, foregrounding
the execution of a program that preempts the use of the processing system
-
IDP, integrated data processing
automatic data processing in which data acquisition and other stages or processing are integrated into a coherent system
-
logic operation, logical operation
an operation that follows the rules of symbolic logic
-
monadic operation, unary operation
an operation with exactly one operand
-
multiplex operation
an operation in which two or more activities are interleaved
-
parallel operation, simultaneous operation
the simultaneous execution of two or more operations
-
printing operation
an operation that controls the printing or display of information
-
lookup, search
an operation that determines whether one or more of a set of items has a specified property
-
consecutive operation, sequential operation, serial operation
the sequential execution of operations one after another
-
sort, sorting
an operation that segregates items into groups according to a specified criterion
-
synchronous operation
operations that are initiated predictably by a clock
-
threshold operation
an operation performed on operands in order to obtain the value of a threshold function
