Computing | B-tree A multi-way balanced tree. The "B" in B-tree has never been officially defined. It could stand for "balanced" or "Bayer", after one of the original designers of the algorithms and structure. A B-tree is _not_ (necessarily?) a "binary tree". A B+-tree (as used by IBM's VSAM) is a B-tree where the leaves are also linked sequentially, thus allowing both fast random access and sequential access to data. [Knuth's Art of Computer Programming]. [Example algorithm?] (2000-01-10). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing. |
Math | A balanced search tree in which every node has between ceiling( m/2 ) and m children, where m>1 is a fixed integer. The root may as few as 2 children. This is a good structure if much of the tree is in slow memory (disk), since the height, and hence the number of accesses, can be kept small, say one or two, by picking a large m. (references) |
