Science - Computers (general) / I&C systems | | French term or phrase: bouchonnage | Has anyone ever come across this term in a computing sense. It's from an I&C spec for a power station.
"Le sous ensemble ainsi défini doit être pleinement opérationnel, sous réserves de réaliser les actions de bouchonnage adéquat."
Many thanks |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseClaire Cox: 9:56am Oct 24, 2005: Hmmm, I'm not really much the wiser - both options sound eminently feasible given the woolly context. I've come across the term again further on in my text, which doesn't help me, but it may help someone else to confirm either of these suggestions - I hope!
"Fonctionnalités de bouchonnage
Avant la génération automatique des fichiers de configuration, l'utilisateur doit pouvoir visualiser l'ensemble des signaux d'entrée/sortie et des UT programmées.
L'utilisateur doit pouvoir choisir pour chacun de ces signaux et UT s'il doit être inclus dans les fichiers de configuration du simulateur ou non, c'est-à-dire si l'UT ou le signal doit être simulé ou non.
Pour chacune des UT, il doit être possible de déclarer si celle-ci doit être prise en compte ou non par l'émulateur CC N1.
S'il s'agit d'une UT non émulée, il doit être possible d'échanger des signaux avec les autres UT modélisées, sans passer par des entrées/sorties matérielles modélisées."
and so on - does this throw any more light on the matter for anyone else?
Many thanks - I really appreciate your suggestions!

| | use of dummy processes | Explanation:
My immediate thought was that this may have something to do with dummy processes (bouchons), as already explained here:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/714826
and here:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1100051
I'm thinking here that, when developing a system or part of one, it is often impossible or impractical to have access to the full functionality, therefore you have to use dummy processes to mimic what happens, but with no direct impact on any live system (probably quite important for a power station :-) )
Here, the deliverable has to fully operational, conditional upon the fact that dummy processes may have been used, and therefore the impact of replacing the dummies with actual live processes is unknown to a certain extent.

Given that the purpose of "dummies" is to simulate reality without actually involving reality (where "reality" here can be taken to mean "the live/production environment"), then I would suggest that "dummy processes" still fits.
Indeed, I would go so far as to say that you could be justified in replacing "bouchonnage" with "simulation" in this context, since here the terms are clearly synonymous.

Actually, to say they're "clearly synonymous" was probably an exaggeration on my part :-) The notions are so closely linked however as to be *almost* interchangeable, particularly in a title. |

| Note from asker to answererThanks Charlie - I think you're definitely on the right lines here. My client has suggested "stubbing" which is the use of "stubs" to simulate expected outputs, so that's what I'll probably use, but I really appreciate your explanation and confirmation!

| blocking system
Explanation:
This paper describes an extension to Kent Retargetable occam Compiler (KRoC), which enables the execution of a blocking call, without blocking the occam-kernel. This allows a process to make a blocking system call (eg, read, write), without blocking processes running in parallel with it
