In computing, the Executable and Linkable Format ( ELF, formerly called Extensible Linking Format ) is a common standard file format for executables, object code, shared libraries, and core dumps.

* Flash Translation Layer, a software layer used in computing to support normal file systems with flash memory

Kermit is a computer file transfer / management protocol and a set of communications software tools primarily used in the early years of personal computing in the 1980s ; it provides a consistent approach to file transfer, terminal emulation, script programming, and character set conversion across many different computer hardware and OS platforms.

* Mount ( computing ), the process of making a file system accessible

Octal is sometimes used in computing instead of hexadecimal, perhaps most often in modern times in conjunction with file permissions under Unix systems ( see chmod ).

In computing, plain text is the contents of an ordinary sequential file readable as textual material without much processing, usually opposed to formatted text and to " binary files " in which some portions must be interpreted as binary objects ( encoded integers, real numbers, images, etc.

Many modern computing systems provide wildcard characters in matching filenames from a file system.

It has the disadvantage of losing the more compact, byte-stream-based encoding, but by this point larger storage and transmission capacities made file size less of a concern than in the early days of computing.

By contrast, ext2 and other Berkeley FFS-like file systems of that time simply used a fixed formula for computing inode locations, hence limiting the number of files they may contain.

In computing, a file server is a computer attached to a network that has the primary purpose of providing a location for shared disk access, i. e. shared storage of computer files ( such as documents, sound files, photographs, movies, images, databases, etc.

* Path ( computing ), in computer file systems, the human-readable address of a resource

Depending on the computing service that it offers it could be a database server, file server, mail server, print server, web server, gaming server, or some other kind of server.

* Ogg, a multimedia container file format, in computing

In computing, < tt > diff </ tt > is a file comparison utility that outputs the differences between two files.

Traditionally in modern computing, application software has been distributed to end-users as binary images, which are stored in executables, a specific type of binary file.

In computing, tar ( derived from tape archive ) is both a file format ( in the form of a type of archive bitstream ) and the name of a program used to handle such files.

* Folder ( computing ), a virtual container within a digital file system, in which groups of files and other folders can be kept and organized

In computing, ( directory ) is a command used for file and directory listing, specifically in the command line interface ( CLI ) of these operating systems: RT-11, CP / M, VMS, DOS, OS / 2, Singularity, and Microsoft Windows.

In computing, the working directory of a process is a directory of a hierarchical file system, if any, dynamically associated with each process.

In computing, a symbolic link ( also symlink or soft link ) is a special type of file that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of an absolute or relative path and that affects pathname resolution.

One of the goals of Jini is to shift the emphasis of computing away from the traditional file system oriented approach to a more network oriented approach.

XMPP applications beyond IM include groupchat, network management, content syndication, collaboration tools, file sharing, gaming, remote systems control and monitoring, geolocation, middleware and cloud computing, VoIP and Identity services.

In computing, an executable file causes a computer " to perform indicated tasks according to encoded instructions ," as opposed to a data file that must be parsed by a program to be meaningful.

In computing, a button ( sometimes known as a command button or push button ) is a user interface element that provides the user a simple way to trigger an event, like searching for a query at a search engine, or to interact with dialog boxes, like confirming an action.

In human – computer interaction, computer accessibility ( also known as Accessible computing ) refers to the accessibility of a computer system to all people, regardless of disability or severity of impairment.

ACM – W also reaches out internationally to those women who are involved and interested in computing.

Bioinformatics also deals with algorithms, databases and information systems, web technologies, artificial intelligence and soft computing, information and computation theory, structural biology, software engineering, data mining, image processing, modeling and simulation, discrete mathematics, control and system theory, circuit theory, and statistics.

Computing Curricula 2005 also recognizes that the meaning of " computing " depends on the context:

Because society needs people to do computing well, we must think of computing not only as a profession but also as a discipline.

The term " computing " is also synonymous with counting and calculating.

CPU designers then borrowed ideas from commercial computing markets such as transaction processing, where the aggregate performance of multiple programs, also known as throughput computing, was more important than the performance of a single thread or program.

In computing, multitasking is a method where multiple tasks, also known as processes, are performed during the same period of time.

Other complexity measures are also used, such as the amount of communication ( used in communication complexity ), the number of gates in a circuit ( used in circuit complexity ) and the number of processors ( used in parallel computing ).

Distributed computing also refers to the use of distributed systems to solve computational problems.

In mathematics, the Euclidean algorithm, or Euclid's algorithm, is an efficient method for computing the greatest common divisor ( GCD ) of two integers, also known as the greatest common factor ( GCF ) or highest common factor ( HCF ).

Since NC contains NL, it is also unknown whether a space-efficient algorithm for computing the GCD exists, even for nondeterministic Turing machines.

In typography and computing, the range of graphemes is broader than in a written language in other ways too: a typographical font often has to cope with a range of different languages each of which contribute their own graphemes, and it may also be required to print other symbols such as dingbats.

Logical controls ( also called technical controls ) use software and data to monitor and control access to information and computing systems.

There were also regional networks centred on Bristol, Edinburgh and Newcastle, where groups of institutions had pooled resources to provide better computing facilities than could be afforded individually.

Zuse was also noted for the S2 computing machine, considered the first process-controlled computer.

MySQL can also be run on cloud computing platforms such as Amazon EC2.

This definition is used in networking contexts and most storage media, particularly hard drives, Flash-based storage, and DVDs, and is also consistent with the other uses of the SI prefix in computing, such as CPU clock speeds or measures of performance.

Other server families also offload I / O processing and emphasize throughput computing.

Mainframes also have execution integrity characteristics for fault tolerant computing.

Rapid expansion and development in emerging markets, particularly People's Republic of China, is also spurring major mainframe investments to solve exceptionally difficult computing problems, e. g. providing unified, extremely high volume online transaction processing databases for 1 billion consumers across multiple industries ( banking, insurance, credit reporting, government services, etc.

In the broad sense, it includes all musically relevant disciplines ( both humanities and sciences ) and all manifestations of music in all cultures, so it also includes all of systematic musicology ( including psychology, biology, and computing ).
