CAP theorem: Consistency, Availability, Partition Tolerance; only 2 can be fully achieved simultaneously
CAP theorem: Consistency, Availability, Partition Tolerance; only 2 can be fully achieved simultaneously
Which distributed systems property, as per the CAP theorem, suggests that during network partition, a system can either provide strong consistency but not both high availability and partition tolerance?
Consistency over availability and partition tolerance
What consistent hashing does: minimizes remapping when nodes join/leave
Consistent hashing minimizes data redistribution during nodes' addition or removal
What bank conflicts are in shared memory — multiple threads accessing the same bank
Shared memory conflicts arise when multiple threads concurrently access the same bank in a banking system
What the Nyquist theorem says: sample at ≥ 2× the highest frequency to avoid aliasing
Nyquist theorem: Sample rate ≥ 2*highest frequency to prevent frequency aliasing
What database sharding does: splits data across machines by a partition key
Database sharding distributes data across multiple machines using a partition key for scalability and performance
How do lock-free data structures manage concurrent access to shared memory in a multithreaded environment?
Lock-free data structures use atomic operations to ensure concurrent access without traditional locking mechanisms
