Name for a family of similar algorithms that combine the value from a cell in an input array with the values in its neighbor cells to make a new value for the same cell of an output array A 2D stencil operates on the 9-cell neighborhood comprising a(i,j) and its eight neighbors (a(i-i,j), a(i+1,j), and so on) A 3D stencil operates on the 27-cell neighborhood around a(i,j,k) Conway's Game of Life and other cellular automata are usually implemented using a stencil algorithm, as are many graphics transformations such as smoothing and edge-finding Stencil algorithms are both CPU-intensive and memory-intensive, and are challenging subjects for compiler optimizations
One of the four major classes of printmaking, this method involves the application of ink onto the paper's surface through previously cut stencils This is the one printmaking method which does not reverse the image Examples are screenprint and pochoir
{i} thin sheet of some material from which figures or letters have been cut out so that paint or ink may be passed through the perforations onto a surface; designs created with a stencil
sten·cil stencils stencilling stencilled in AM, use stenciling, stenciled1. A stencil is a piece of paper, plastic, or metal which has a design cut out of it. You place the stencil on a surface and paint it so that paint goes through the holes and leaves a design on the surface
Thin sheet of metal, usually brass or stainless steel, mounted on a frame and etched with holes conforming to a pattern of conductor pads May also be mounted on mesh for increased flexibility Stencils are used for solder cream deposition in a similar manner to screen printing, but usually with the stencil in firm contact with the substrate
If you stencil a design or if you stencil a surface with a design, you put a design on a surface using a stencil. He then stencilled the ceiling with a moon and stars motif. stencilled stencilling stenciled stenciling to make a design, letters etc using a stencil
set of values neighboring a container index and a function using those values to compute it For example, the stencil in a two-dimensional Conway game of life consists of an index's eight neighbors and a function that sets its value to "live" if it is already live and it has two neighbors or it has exactly three live neighbors See Also: data parallel, element wise, relation
Paint spray identification placed on pipe Specification size, wall, grade, test pressure, method of manufacture and normal mill characters and mill identification are usually included; however, detail varies by specification "Country of Origin" is included
