At this level we do not need to mention how the machine manages its tape or head.

:: "... prose used to define the way the Turing machine uses its head and the way that it stores data on its tape.

This ramming gave the characteristic " machine gun " noise and would, sooner or later, throw the head out of alignment.

" This early post cites an example of a person who pulled a vending machine over their head and was crushed to death trying to break into it.

It is the " Jacquard head " that adapts to a great many dobby looms such as the " Dornier " brand that allow the weaving machine to then create the intricate patterns often seen in Jacquard weaving.

An ordinary ( deterministic ) Turing machine ( DTM ) has a transition function that, for a given state and symbol under the tape head, specifies three things: the symbol to be written to the tape, the direction ( left or right ) in which the head should move, and the subsequent state of the finite control.

The notion of string acceptance is unchanged: a non-deterministic Turing machine accepts a string if, when the machine is started on the configuration in which the tape head is on the first character of the string ( if any ), and the tape is all blank otherwise, at least one of the machine's possible computations from that configuration puts the machine into a state in.

The oracle machine is initialized with the work tape containing some input with finitely many 1's and the rest of the tape blank, the oracle tape containing the characteristic function of the oracle, A, and the Turing machine in state q < sub > 0 </ sub > with read / write head reading the first nonblank cell of the work tape, and oracle head reading the cell of the oracle tape which corresponds to.

Thereafter it operates according to: if the Turing machine is currently in state q, the read / write head is reading a symbol S < sub > 1 </ sub >, and the oracle head is reading S < sub > 2 </ sub >, then if, the machine enters state, the read / write head writes the symbol S < sub > 1 </ sub >' in place of S < sub > 1 </ sub >, and then the read / write head moves 1 cell in direction D < sub > 1 </ sub > and the oracle head moves one cell in direction D < sub > 2 </ sub >.

The machine would also be able to punch numbers onto cards to be read in later.

Henry also proposed building a demonstration version of the full engine, with a smaller storage capacity: " perhaps for a first machine ten ( columns ) would do, with fifteen wheels in each ".

* the uniform cost model, also called uniform-cost measurement ( and similar variations ), assigns a constant cost to every machine operation, regardless of the size of the numbers involved

* the logarithmic cost model, also called logarithmic-cost measurement ( and variations thereof ), assigns a cost to every machine operation proportional to the number of bits involved

An accumulator machine, also called a 1-operand machine, or a CPU with accumulator-based architecture, is a kind of CPU where, although it may have several registers, the CPU mostly stores the results of calculations in one special register, typically called " the accumulator ".

The German leadership had also been criticized for failing to understand the technical advances of the First World War, having given tank production the lowest priority and having conducted no studies of the machine gun prior to that war.

It also marked the beginning of the shift in Manço's sound characterized with the heavy use of synthesizers and drum machine in contrast with his older works consisting of a group oriented rock based sound.

Software may also be written in an assembly language, essentially, a mnemonic representation of a machine language using a natural language alphabet.

When machine translation ( also known as mechanical translation ) failed to yield accurate translations right away, automated processing of human languages was recognized as far more complex than had originally been assumed.

Bayesian models, often drawn from machine learning, are also gaining popularity.

They also suspect that the Continuity IRA arsenal contains some weapons that were taken from Provisional IRA arms dumps, including a few dozen rifles, machine guns, and pistols ; a small amount of the explosive Semtex ; and a few dozen detonators.

It can also compile Lisp code to machine code via a C compiler.

This last term (" von Neumann machine ") is less specific and also refers to a completely unrelated computer architecture proposed by von Neumann, so its use is discouraged where accuracy is important.

Computationally, a context-sensitive language is equivalent with a linear bounded nondeterministic Turing machine, also called a linear bounded automaton.

This set of languages is also known as NLIN-SPACE, because they can be accepted using linear space on a non-deterministic Turing machine.

" Firearms classified as machine guns are also not subject to the barrel length restriction.

Informally the Church – Turing thesis states that if some method ( algorithm ) exists to carry out a calculation, then the same calculation can also be carried out by a Turing machine ( as well as by a recursively definable function, and by a λ-function ).

All stops have disabled access, raised paving, CCTV, a Passenger Help Point, a Passenger Information Display ( PID ), litter bins, a ticket machine, a noticeboard and lamp-posts, and most also have seats and a shelter.

Then codenamed " Stella ," the machine was also set to utilize cartridges ; after seeing the Channel F, Atari realized they needed to release it before the market was flooded with cartridge-based machines.

The first ( retroactively ) RISC-labeled processor ( IBM 801-IBMs Watson Research Center, mid-1970s ) was a tightly pipelined simple machine originally intended to be used as an internal microcode kernel, or engine, in CISC designs, but also became the processor that introduced the RISC idea to a somewhat larger public.

Simplicity and regularity also in the visible instruction set would make it easier to implement overlapping processor stages ( pipelining ) at the machine code level ( i. e. the level seen by compilers.

At MIT, Olsen and Anderson noticed something odd: students would line up for hours to get a turn to use the stripped-down TX-0, while largely ignoring a faster IBM machine that was also available.

And there was the case of Tom Hepker, a machinist, who was referred by a friend to a health machine quack who treated him with a so-called diagnostic machine for what Doctor Fraud said was a system full of arsenic and strychnine.

Assembly language is converted into executable machine code by a utility program referred to as an assembler ; the conversion process is referred to as assembly, or assembling the code.

The LINC proved to attract intense interest in the scientific community, and has since been referred to as the first real minicomputer, a machine that was small and inexpensive enough to be dedicated to a single task even in a small lab.

The speed of floating-point operations, commonly referred to in performance measurements as FLOPS, is an important machine characteristic, especially in software that performs large-scale mathematical calculations.

There are, however, some fully automatic handguns ( often referred to as machine pistols ) so, to avoid such ambiguity and confusion, " semi-automatic ", " autoloader " or " self-loading " are preferred when referring to a firearm that fires only one shot per trigger pull.

Punched card system of a music machine, also referred to as Book music

Infocom games were written using a roughly LISP-like programming language called ZIL ( Zork Implementation Language or Zork Interactive Language — it was referred to as both ) that compiled into a byte code able to run on a standardized virtual machine called the Z-machine.

In Britain the machines were most often referred to as " duplicators ", though the predominance of Gestetner and Roneo in the UK market meant that some people referred to the machine by one of those two manufacturers ' names.

While some sources call the MAC-10 and MAC-11 machine pistols, the guns are also referred to as compact submachine guns.

The arcade version of the video game hardware is often referred to as the " MVS ," or Multi Video System ( available in 1-slot, 2-slot, 4-slot, and 6-slot variations, the latter being capable of up to six cartridges loaded into one machine ), with its console counterpart referred to as the " AES ", or Advanced Entertainment System ( most likely to distinguish it from the Nintendo Entertainment System, the dominating console on the market at the time ). Neo Geo AES motherboard.

In British English, " gramophone " referred to any sound reproducing machine using 78 rpm gramophone records, as disc records were popularized in the UK by the Gramophone Company.

" Gramophone " generally referred to a wind-up machine.

Kurzweil was referred to by Forbes as " the ultimate thinking machine.

This referred to the way the machine gathered data.

* The user interface of a mechanical system, a vehicle or an industrial installation is sometimes referred to as the human – machine interface ( HMI ).

The codename " Purple " referred to binders used by US cryptanalysts for material produced by various systems ; it replaced the Red machine used by the Japanese Foreign Office.

A solution to these problems was the introduction of the mechanical " drafting machine ", an application of the pantograph ( sometimes referred to incorrectly as a " pentagraph " in these situations ) which allowed the drafter to have an accurate right angle at any point on the page quite quickly.

Also referred to as a " logical machine ", the logical abacus is analogous to the ordinary ( mathematical ) abacus.

The NeXT Computer was packaged in a 1-foot ( 305 mm ) die-cast magnesium cube-shaped case, which led to the machine being informally referred to as " The Cube ".

A PCB milling machine ( referred to as a ' PCB Prototyper ') operates in a similar way to a plotter, receiving commands from the host software that control the position of the milling head in the x, y, and ( if relevant ) z axis.
