The first commercial computer with floating point hardware was Zuse's Z4 computer designed in 1942 – 1945.

Unlike most Unix-like kernels, the Hurd uses a server – client architecture, built on a microkernel that is responsible for providing the most basic kernel services – coordinating access to the hardware: the CPU ( through process management and scheduling ), RAM ( via memory management ), and other various input / output devices ( via I / O scheduling ) for sound, graphics, mass storage, etc.

Replacement was cost-prohibitive because of the expensive requirement for flight certification ; the legacy hardware used completed the expensive integration and certification requirement for flight, but any new equipment would have had to go through that entire process – requiring extensive tests of the new components in their new configurations – before a single unit could be used in the Space Shuttle program.

The CM process for both hardware and software configuration items comprises five distinct disciplines as established in the MIL – HDBK – 61A and ANSI / EIA-649.

During the Shuttle Final Countdown Phase Simulation, engineers command and control hardware via real application software executing in the control consoles – just as if they were commanding real vehicle hardware.

It did require that applications be recompiled —- which most developers didn't do —- still, its hardware independence was used for Silicon Graphics ( SGI ) x86 workstations – thanks to NT's Hardware abstraction layer ( HAL ), they could operate NT ( and its vast application library ).

Existing S / 370-145 customers were happy to learn that they did not have to purchase a hardware upgrade in order to run DOS / VS or OS / VS1 ( or OS / VS2 Release 1 – which was possible, but not common because of the limited amount of main storage available on the S / 370-145 ).

Burr was born Raymond William Stacey Burr in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, to William Johnston Burr ( 1889 – 1985 ), an Irish hardware salesman, and his wife Minerva ( née Smith, 1892 – 1974 ), a concert pianist and music teacher, who was of English and Scottish descent.

In 2005, Hydra, a dedicated chess computer with custom hardware and sixty-four processors and also winner of the 14th IPCCC in 2005, defeated seventh-ranked Michael Adams 5½ – ½ in a six-game match ( though Adams ' preparation was far less thorough than Kramnik's for the 2002 series ).

After police found body parts in his house in 1957, Gein confessed to killing two women – tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954, and a Plainfield hardware store owner, Bernice Worden, in 1957.

Several open-source and proprietary alternatives are available for simultaneous access to both Windows and UNIX environments on the same hardware.

Approaches based on standard C or C ++ ( with libraries or other extensions allowing parallel programming ) are found in the Catapult C tools from Mentor Graphics, the Impulse C tools from Impulse Accelerated Technologies, and the free and open-source ROCCC 2. 0 tools from Jacquard Computing Inc. Annapolis Micro Systems, Inc .' s CoreFire Design Suite and National Instruments LabVIEW FPGA provide a graphical dataflow approach to high-level design entry and languages such as SystemVerilog, SystemVHDL, and Handel-C seek to accomplish the same goal, but are aimed at making existing hardware engineers more productive versus making FPGAs more accessible to existing software engineers.

Android is an open-source platform backed by Google, along with major hardware and software developers ( such as Intel, HTC, ARM, Motorola and Samsung, to name a few ), that form the Open Handset Alliance.

Third-party and open-source software and games are also available for the Wild Divine hardware.

CICS owes its early popularity to its relatively-efficient implementation when hardware was very expensive, its multi-threaded processing architecture, its relative simplicity for developing terminal-based real-time transaction applications, and many open-source customer contributions, including both debugging and feature enhancement.

In 2001, under severe financial pressure due to too much leverage, BSDI sold its software business unit ( comprising BSD / OS, plus the former Walnut Creek involvement in the FreeBSD and Slackware Linux open-source projects ) to Wind River Systems and renamed the remainder iXsystems, with plans to specialize in hardware.

However, recent developments in open-source hardware designs, at least one of which is commercially available for purchase, have brought the price down significantly.

The principles of open design are closely similar to those of open-source hardware design, which emerged in March 1998 when Reinoud Lamberts of the Delft University of Technology proposed on his “ Open Design Circuits ” website the creation of a hardware design community in the spirit of free software.
