And it's thought maybe it was a bottleneck, a genetic bottleneck thought to be 12,000 years ago, and this has caused a very low diversity.

I just break off another bottleneck and play these steel guitar blues.

It was so successful, paint became a bottleneck.

The shortage of engineers is the greatest bottleneck to the development of our company.

A slightly different form of a bottleneck can occur if a small group becomes reproductively (e.g.

According to Backus Surely there must be a less primitive way of making big changes in the store than by pushing vast numbers of words back and forth through the von Neumann bottleneck.

CA So that's the key bottleneck, basically journalistic volunteers and or the funding of journalistic salaries?

DNA analyses date the bottleneck to around 88,000 years before present (YBP).

The von Neumann bottleneck was described by John Backus in his 1977 ACM Turing Award lecture.

And then African American folks figured out you could take a broken bottle neck, just like that a nice Merlot works very well.

Not only is this tube a literal bottleneck for the data traffic of a problem, but, more importantly, it is an intellectual bottleneck that has kept us tied to word at a time thinking instead of encouraging us to think in terms of the larger conceptual units of the task at hand.

Aside from the Von Neumann bottleneck described below, program modifications can be quite harmful, either by accident or design.

There is also evidence of at least one primate species, the golden snub nosed monkey, that also suffered from a bottleneck around this time.

A classic example of a population bottleneck is that of the northern elephant seal, whose population fell to about 30 in the 1890s.

Thus programming is basically planning and detailing the enormous traffic of words through the von Neumann bottleneck, and much of that traffic concerns not significant data itself, but where to find it.

In the computer, you have all the data going through the central processing unit, and any piece of data basically has to go through that bottleneck, whereas in the brain, what you have is these neurons, and the data just really flows through a network of connections among the neurons. There's no bottleneck here.

Roughly, JIT compilation combines the speed of compiled code with the flexibility of interpretation, with the overhead of an interpreter and the additional overhead of compiling (not just interpreting).

Founder effect The founder effect is a special case of a population bottleneck, occurring when a small group in a population splinters off from the original population and forms a new one.

The Mendocino Celeron CPU came only designed for a 66 MHz front side bus, but this would not be a serious performance bottleneck until clock rates reached higher levels.

Big, big problem.

Huge boom. Huge boom. Huge bust. Huge bust.

Since CPU speed and memory size have increased much faster than the throughput between them, the bottleneck has become more of a problem, a problem whose severity increases with every newer generation of CPU.
