If two devices overwrote the same memory location in a conflict, and the hard disk controller relied on this location ( the HDD controller often being the 2nd conflicting device ) there was the all-too-common possibility of massive data corruption.

If the force is not conservative, then defining a scalar potential is not possible, because taking different paths would lead to conflicting potential differences between the start and end points.

In light of the conflicting opinions, the Mishna Berura ( 20th-century ) recommends Ashkenazim make the following stipulation before donning tefillin: " If I am obligated to don tefillin I intend to fulfill my obligation and if I am not obligated to don tefillin, my doing so should not be considered as fulfilling any obligation " and that the blessing not be recited.

If the check reveals conflicting modifications, the committing transaction rolls back.

If conflicting legislation is enacted by the two Houses, a joint sitting is held to resolve the differences.

If one wants to determine the correct spelling of a name, and finds conflicting versions, it is often the more " difficult " one that is correct, not the one that is most widely used.

If a map labeling problem can be reduced to a situation in which each remaining label has only two potential positions in which it can be placed, then it may be solved efficiently by using an instance of 2-satisfiability to find a placement avoiding any conflicting pairs of placements ; several exact and approximate label placement algorithms for more complex types of problems are based on this principle.

If someone buys something and pays the purchase price by installments, the system faces two conflicting interests: the buyer wants to have the purchased goods immediately, whereas the vendor wants to secure full payment of the purchase price.

If a dinosaur falls at a point on an evolutionary tree within the known feather-bearing lineages, scientists assume it too had feathers, unless conflicting evidence is found.

If the resource ( or subsection ) is available, the handler makes the requested change as an atomic event, that is conflicting requests are not acted on until the first request has been completed.

If conflicting results exist or if there is not a consensus among researchers as to how a taxon relates to other organisms, it may be listed as incertae sedis until the conflict is resolved.

If conflicting legislation is enacted by the two Houses, a joint sitting is held to resolve the differences.

If a transaction cannot be committed due to conflicting changes, it is typically aborted and re-executed from the beginning until it succeeds.

If the state law is merely procedural, or relating merely to the form and mode of judicial operations, then the federal court does not have to apply the conflicting state law.

If and when the player and the AI have conflicting goals, it is up to the player, and occasionally the AI, to decide if diplomacy is the way to go, or if war is the answer to their problems.

If team members have conflicting answers, then the captain will speak on behalf of the team.

If a situation is governed by many different and possibly conflicting rules, some choices may be possible in deciding exactly which rule applies.

If that couldn't be agreed upon, then ATC felt the school mission should be handed to TAC.

If one aircraft does not follow the directive ATC issues the directive will have to be reissued and in turn increase the workload of ATM operators.

If an aircraft intending to land must be delayed, the air traffic control ( ATC ) may decide to place it in a holding pattern until the airport is prepared to permit the landing.

If the airfield is not equipped with ATC or radio, the pilot will establish these things before arrival by contacting the airfield prior to departure, or by using weather forecasts and the like.

If available, ATC will negotiate with the pilot which is the most appropriate method according to the current traffic situation.

If VFR conditions do not exist, the pilot will then continue the route last assigned by ATC.

If ATC services are not normally provided at an aerodrome PAPI along with other airport lights, may be activated by the pilot by keying the aircraft microphone with the aircraft's communication radio tuned to the CTAF or dedicated pilot activated lighting ( PAL ) frequency.

If the completed instruction was a jump, the program counter will be modified to contain the address of the instruction that was jumped to, and program execution continues normally.

One can use that instruction, which is usually faster than a comparison against some arbitrary value ( requiring a subtraction ), to implement the command " If i ≤ 0, then exit the loop ".

If the 68060's non-pipelined FPU could accept an instruction, it could be issued one by the decoder.

If all those bits are Equal to zero, skip the next instruction ; and in any case, replace those bits by their boolean complement.

After interfering with Skuld's budding relationship with Sentaro, Noble Scarlet returned to her egg form as per Skuld's instruction (" If you do that again, you'll have to go back to your egg .").

If, for instance, every instruction run in the CPU requires an access to memory, the computer gains nothing for increased CPU speed — a problem referred to as being " memory bound ".

If the processor has an instruction cache, the original instruction may already have been copied into a prefetch input queue and the modification will not take effect.

If the bitboard is larger than the width of the instruction set, then a performance hit will be the result.

If a program is moved from a processor with one native instruction set to a processor with another native instruction set, the MI / TIMI instructions will be re-translated into the native instruction set of the new machine before the program is executed for the first time on the new machine.

If it is labeled as 250 PPI, that is an instruction to the printer to print it at a size of 4 × 4 inches.

If students receive specific instruction they are going to be capable of performing those set tasks only.

If the instruction operands are currently in the registers, then

** If a matching functional unit is available, issue the instruction.

*** If the instruction is a load then: execute as soon as the memory unit is available

* If the instruction was an ALU operation

If the instruction decoded was a branch or jump, the target address of the branch or jump was computed in parallel with reading the register file.

If the instruction is a load, data is read from the data cache, so both SRAMs are read in parallel during the access stage of the instruction.

If the tag from the tag SRAM and virtual address from the load instruction are not equal, then the data is not in the cache and the datum retrieved from the data SRAM is useless, referred to as a cache miss.

If the ALU were used in the decode stage for that purpose, an ALU instruction followed by a branch would have seen both instructions attempt to use the ALU simultaneously.

If the PIQ is not flushed, the processor might translate its codes wrong and generate an invalid instruction exception.
