ACM – W provides various resources for women in computing as well as high school girls interested in the field.

Regardless of the context, doing computing well can be complicated and difficult.

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

These newer concerns are among the many factors causing researchers to investigate new methods of computing such as the quantum computer, as well as to expand the usage of parallelism and other methods that extend the usefulness of the classical von Neumann model.

Moore's law suggests that computing power doubles roughly every 18 to 24 months, but even this doubling effect leaves the larger symmetric key lengths currently considered acceptable well out of reach.

Note that the number of points used in braille computing is not 6, but 8, as this allows the user, among other things, to distinguish between small and capital letters, as well as identify the position of the cursor.

Data typically reside in the storage in structures that look completely different from the way the data look in the conceptual and external levels, but in ways that attempt to optimize ( the best possible ) these levels ' reconstruction when needed by users and programs, as well as for computing additional types of needed information from the data ( e. g., when querying the database ).

In particular, it has remained in broad use in the embedded computing world, though the recently developed EEMBC benchmark suite, HINT, Stream, and even Bytemark are widely quoted and used, as well as more specific benchmarks for the memory subsystem ( Cachebench ), TCP / IP ( TTCP ), and many others.

F is described by its creators as " a compiled, structured, array programming language especially well suited to education and scientific computing.

Stanford University's Folding @ home project is a distributed computing research effort which uses its approximately 5 petaFLOPS (~ 10 x86 petaFLOPS ) of computing power to attempt to model the tertiary ( and quaternary ) structures of proteins, as well as other aspects of how and why proteins fold into the inordinately complex and varied shapes they take.

Founded in 1970 as a division of Xerox Corporation, PARC has been responsible for such well known and important developments as laser printing, Ethernet, the modern personal computer, graphical user interface ( GUI ), object-oriented programming, ubiquitous computing, amorphous silicon ( a-Si ) applications, and advancing very-large-scale-integration ( VLSI ) for semiconductors.

However, other systems such as the K computer continue to use conventional processors such as SPARC-based designs and the overall applicability of GPGPUs in general purpose high performance computing applications has been the subject of debate, in that while a GPGPU maybe tuned to score well on specific benchmarks its overall applicability to everyday algorithms may be limited unless significant effort is spent to tune the application towards it.

It consisted of a hexagonal base, 1. 04 meters across and 0. 36 meters thick, which contained six magnesium chassis housing the electronics for the science experiments, communications, data encoding, computing, timing, and altitude control, and the power control, battery, and battery charger, as well as the altitude control gas bottles and the rocket engine.

Mariner 1 consisted of a hexagonal base, 1. 04 meters across and 0. 36 meters thick, which contained six magnesium chassis housing the electronics for the science experiments, communications, data encoding, computing, timing, and attitude control and the power control, battery, and battery charger, as well as the attitude control gas bottles and the rocket engine.

In computing, s-expressions, sexprs or sexps ( for " symbolic expression ") are a notation for nested list ( tree-structured ) data, invented for and popularized by the programming language Lisp, which uses them for source code as well as data.

An alternative explanation for the appearance of the constant 466 / 885, as well as a new and somewhat improved algorithm for computing the shortest path, was given by Romik.

The computing resources required to crawl such a beast were well beyond the usual bounds of a student project.

More so than simply sparking improvements in the budding field of home computing and gaming, the Z-80 also sparked a revolution in electronic music, as the first truly programmable polyphonic synthesizers ( as well as their peripherals ) relied heavily on implementations of this CPU.

This newly-modified TX-0 was used to develop a huge number of advances in computing, including speech and handwriting recognition, as well as the tools needed to work on such projects, including text editors and debuggers.

JAARS serves Wycliffe Bible Translators and other relief and missions organizations worldwide by providing transportation by air, land or sea as well as through computing and information technology and other technical services.

This sort of use slowly disappeared as well, as more general-purpose CPUs started to match the i860's performance, and as Intel turned its focus to Pentium processors for general-purpose computing.

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.

In summary, in typography and computing, a glyph is a graphical unit.

* Processor affinity, a computing term for the assignment of a task to a given core of a multicore CPU

* Boot Configuration Data, a computing term for the boot loader of Windows Vista

* Business Context Diagram, a computing term for a schema illustrating the context of an application in a business environment.

As a computing term, bootstrap has been used since at least 1953.

The term " computing " has sometimes been narrowly defined, as in a 1989 ACM report on Computing as a Discipline:

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

Computer music is a term that was originally used within academia to describe a field of study relating to the applications of computing technology in music composition ; particularly that stemming from the Western art music tradition.

More recently, with the advent of personal computing, and the growth of home recording, the term computer music is now sometimes used to describe any music that has been created using computing technology.

Hacker is a term that has been used to mean a variety of different things in computing.

However, with the increase in computing power and Internet connectivity during the late nineties, and the shift of online gaming to the mass market, the term " graphical MUD " fell out of favor, being replaced by MMORPG, Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, a term coined by Richard Garriott in 1997.

Add-on ( or addon ) in computing is often considered the general term comprising snap-ins, plug-ins, extensions, and themes for software applications.

Regular semantics is a computing term which describes the guarantees provided by a data register shared by several processors in a parallel machine or in a network of computers working together.

Software crisis was a term used in the early days of computing science.

In computing teleprinters have been replaced by fully electronic computer terminals which usually use a display screen instead of a printer, though the term " TTY " is still occasionally used to refer to them, such as in Unix systems.

This paradigm is also described as pervasive computing, ambient intelligence, or, more recently, everyware, where each term emphasizes slightly different aspects.

The term is used in computing to describe a system in which content ( text and graphics ) displayed onscreen during editing appears in a form closely corresponding to its appearance when printed or displayed as a finished product, which might be a printed document, web page, or slide presentation.

In computing, the term Extensible Stylesheet Language ( XSL ) is used to refer to a family of

* Common Base Event, a computing term referring to IBM's implementation of the Web Services Distributed Management Web Event Format standard.

In computer networking, the term IP address spoofing or IP spoofing refers to the creation of Internet Protocol ( IP ) packets with a forged source IP address, called spoofing, with the purpose of concealing the identity of the sender or impersonating another computing system.

The term " near real-time " or " nearly real-time " ( NRT ), in telecommunications and computing, refers to the time delay introduced, by automated data processing or network transmission, between the occurrence of an event and the use of the processed data, such as for display or feedback and control purposes.

In distinct usage in distributed computing, the term network architecture often describes the structure and classification of a distributed application architecture, as the participating nodes in a distributed application are often referred to as a network.

The term trusted computing base goes back to Rushby, who defined it as the combination of kernel and trusted processes.
