The primary meaning of creek is a moving body of water, confined within a bed and banks and having a detectable current. Stream is the umbrella term used in the scientific community for all flowing natural waters.
By extension, a stream is any steady flow or succession of material. It could be water, air, radio signal, words (as in "a stream of abuse") etc.. The word has also some specialized senses:
- streaming media is a way of delivering radio and television over the Internet.
- High speed streams of air in the upper atmosphere are called jet streams.
- Ocean currents are sometimes referred to as streams, e.g. the Gulf Stream.
In computing, the term stream (computer) is used in a number of ways, in all cases referring to a succession of data elements made available over time. More recently, Stream processing architectures and paradigms became a well estabilished method to deliver high computational rates at low silicon cost.
