A single coordinated movement of the four legs of a horse or other animal, completed when the legs return to their initial relative position In the hunt seat fence classes, proper striding between two jumps in a line is required Ex: If you need to have six strides down the diagonal line and five strides on the outside line
This is a single, coordinated movement of all four of the horse's legs, after which the legs return to their starting position
A single, coordinated movement of all four of the horse's legs, after which the legs return to their starting position
The number of memory locations between successive elements in an array, pixels in a bitmap, etc
This stride value is generally equal to the pixel width of the bitmap times the number of bytes per pixel, but for performance reasons it might be rounded.
spacing between regularly-spaced points in a domain For example, the set of points a, a+2, a+4, …, b-2, b is specified by [a,b] with stride 2 It is a domain See Also: range, interval, domain
A stride is a long step which you take when you are walking or running. With every stride, runners hit the ground with up to five times their body-weight He walked with long strides
If you stride somewhere, you walk there with quick, long steps. They were joined by a newcomer who came striding across a field He turned abruptly and strode off down the corridor
The distance between the memory addresses of array elements that are touched in a loop A stride-one loop touches successive array elements, and hence scans memory consecutively This uses cache memory most efficiently because all of a cache line is used before the next cache line is fetched, and the loop never returns to a cache line after using it Strides greater than one are less efficient in memory use, but are easy to create accidentally given Fortran array semantics The compiler can sometimes use loop nest optimization or loop interchange to shorten the stride
In British English, if you take a problem or difficulty in your stride, you deal with it calmly and easily. The American expression is take something in stride. Beth was struck by how Naomi took the mistake in her stride. strode stridden to walk quickly with long steps march stride across/into/down etc
If you get into your stride or hit your stride, you start to do something easily and confidently, after being slow and uncertain. The campaign is just getting into its stride
If you make strides in something that you are doing, you make rapid progress in it. The country has made enormous strides politically but not economically
significant progress (especially in the phrase "make strides"); "they made big strides in productivity" cover or traverse by taking long steps; "She strode several miles towards the woods" walk with long steps; "He strode confidently across the hall
A term derived from the concept of walking (striding) through the data from one noncontiguous location to the next If data are to be accessed as a number of evenly spaced, discontiguous blocks, then stride is the distance between the beginnings of successive blocks For example, consider accessing rows of a column-stored matrix The rows have elements that are spaced in memory by a stride of N, the dimension of the matrix
A term derived from the concept of walking through the data, from one location to the next For instance, if every other element of an array were to be transferred, the stride through the array would be two
Constant amount of memory space between data elements where the elements are stored noncontiguously Strided data are sent and received using derived data types
