interleaving

 

[ ษชn.tษ™หˆliห.vษชล‹ ]

Noun / Verb
Context #1 | Noun

computer science

Interleaving is a technique used in computer architecture and data storage that involves distributing data across multiple storage devices or paths. This method enhances performance by allowing simultaneous access to different data blocks, thereby reducing latency. Interleaving can also be applied in error correction and data transmission to improve the reliability of the communication. By spreading out data, interleaving helps in managing bandwidth and improving overall efficiency in processing data streams.

Synonyms

alternation, distribution

Examples of usage

  • The interleaving of memory accesses increased the overall speed of the system.
  • In RAID configurations, interleaving helps in data recovery.
  • Interleaving techniques are crucial in error correction protocols.
Context #2 | Verb

data processing

To interleave refers to the act of combining two or more sequences of data in such a way that the elements from each sequence are arranged alternatively or in an alternating fashion. This method is especially useful in optimizing data retrieval and improving data transmission rates. By interleaving data, one can achieve better error correction and resilience against data loss during transmission, as the data is less likely to be affected by errors concentrated in one area.

Synonyms

alternating, integrate, intermix

Examples of usage

  • We need to interleave the streams for balanced output.
  • The algorithm interleaves packets to enhance performance.
  • By interleaving the audio and video streams, we achieved better sync.

Etymology

The term 'interleaving' originates from the prefix 'inter-', meaning 'between' or 'among', and the verb 'leave', which in this context suggests the act of placing or arranging items. The concept of interleaving has been prevalent in various domains, particularly in computer science and data management, since the latter half of the 20th century. It gained prominence with the development of digital computing and the need for efficient data handling techniques to maximize performance and reliability. As systems became more complex and the volume of data grew exponentially, interleaving emerged as a fundamental strategy in memory management, data storage, and transmission protocols. Its importance has only increased with the advent of high-speed networks and the demand for real-time data processing.
