(foldoc) | Very Efficient Speculative Parallel Architecture
VESPA
(VESPA, Portuguese for "wasp") An {Edinburgh
University} project using speculative multithreading to
improve single-application and multiprogramming performance,
and to increase fault tolerance and reliability. The project
aims to develop a compilation environment to generate
efficient speculative parallel code, including speculative
parallelisation and speculative helper threads. Other
research involves the development of optimized thread-level
speculative architectures and novel uses of speculative
multithreading, such as fault-tolerance.

Vespa crabro
(gcide) | Hornet \Hor"net\, n. [AS. hyrnet; akin to OHG. hornaz, hornuz,
G. horniss; perh. akin to E. horn, and named from the sound
it makes as if blowing the horn; but more prob. akin to D.
horzel, Lith. szirszone, L. crabo.] (Zool.)
A large, strong wasp. The European species (Vespa crabro)
is of a dark brown and yellow color. It is very pugnacious,
and its sting is very severe. Its nest is constructed of a
paperlike material, and the layers of comb are hung together
by columns. The American white-faced hornet ({Vespa
maculata}) is larger and has similar habits.
[1913 Webster]

Asilus, and allied genera, of which there are numerous
species. They are large and fierce flies which capture
bees and other insects, often larger than themselves, and
suck their blood. Called also hawk fly, robber fly.
To stir up a hornet's nest, to provoke the attack of a
swarm of spiteful enemies or spirited critics. [Colloq.]
