Loop device In Unix-like operating systems, a loop device, loopback device, vnd (vnode disk), or lofi (loopback file interface) is a pseudo-device that is able to redirect and transforms data that goes through its "loop". It is mostly used for encryption of a file-system, but since any regular file can be associated with a loop device, it makes it possible to turn any file into a pseudo-device.

Loop heat pipe Loop Heat Pipes (LHPs) are two-phase heat transfer devices that depend on the capillary forces developed in a fine pore wick to circulate the working fluid in the closed loop. LHPs possess all the advantages of the conventional heat pipes and additionally, provide reliable operation over long distance at any orientation in the gravity field.
Loop modeling Loop modeling is a problem in protein structure prediction requiring the prediction of the conformations of loop regions in proteins without the use of a structural template. The problem arises often in homology modeling, where the tertiary structure of an amino acid sequence is predicted based on a sequence alignment to a template, or a second sequence whose structure is known.
Loop Maintenance Operations System The Loop Maintenance Operations System (LMOS) is a telephone company database that plays an essential part in the act of repairing local loops (telephone lines).

Loop unswitching Loop unswitching is a compiler optimization. It moves a conditional inside a loop outside of it by duplicating the loop's body, and placing a version of it inside each of the if and else clauses of the conditional.
Loop unwinding In computer programming and compiler optimization terminology, loop unwinding, also known as loop unrolling, is a technique for optimizing parts of computer programs — a member of the loop transformation family. The idea is to save time by reducing the number of overhead instructions that the computer has to execute in a loop, thus improving the cache hit rate and reducing branching.

Loop-invariant code motion Loop-invariant code (also called hoisting or scalar promotion) in an imperative programming language consists of statements which could be moved to before the loop (if the loop always terminates), or after the loop, without affecting the semantics of the program. As a result it is executed less often, providing a speedup.
