Down
- 1. A method for representing real numbers in a way that supports fractions and large values.
- 3. A computer architecture that separates memory for data and instructions, allowing simultaneous access.
- 4. A method of data transmission where messages are broken into smaller units and reassembled at their destination.
- 5. A field in one database table that links to the primary key of another table.
- 6. The process of organising a database to reduce redundancy and improve integrity.
- 9. A computer architecture where programs and data share the same memory.
- 12. A notation used to describe the efficiency of an algorithm in terms of time or space complexity.
- 13. A small, fast memory location within the CPU that stores temporary data and instructions.
- 17. A computing technique that divides tasks into smaller parts and processes them simultaneously.
- 19. The maximum data transfer rate of a network connection, usually measured in bits per second (bps).
- 22. A divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm that splits an array into smaller parts and then merges them in order.
