Recomputing: meaning, definitions and examples
🔄
recomputing
[ ˌriːkəmˈpjuːtɪŋ ]
computational tasks
Recomputing refers to the process of calculating something again in order to ensure accuracy or to reflect new data. It is commonly used in fields such as computer science and data analysis when the previous results may be outdated or incorrect. In many applications, especially those involving complex algorithms or iterative processes, recomputing is necessary to maintain the integrity of the results. This action can be performed automatically by software or manually by a user when changes to the input occur.
Synonyms
Examples of usage
- We need to recompute the statistics after the recent data update.
- The model failed, so we are recomputing the figures.
- After correcting the errors, I started recomputing the results.
- The server crashed, requiring us to recompute all previous calculations.

Etymology
The term 'recompute' is derived from the prefix 're-', meaning 'again', and the root word 'compute', which comes from the Latin 'computare', meaning 'to calculate' or 'to count'. The Latin word is a combination of 'com-', meaning 'together', and 'putare', meaning 'to reckon'. The use of 'recompute' in English has grown with the rise of computer technology, where calculations are routinely reevaluated as new inputs are introduced or errors are corrected. The act of recomputing ensures that the information remains accurate and relevant in dynamic environments, such as big data analysis or real-time simulations.
