In turn, the logical layer calls upon the physical layer to implement OS requests in terms understandable by the hardware.

In principle, multiple realisability would guarantee platform dependencies can be avoided, whether in terms of hardware and operating system or, ex hypothesi, biology and philosophy.

Many advocate using the more recent and nuanced alternate terms when describing criminals and others who negatively take advantage of security flaws in software and hardware.

This was unpopular with hardware manufacturers and several competing bus standards were developed by consortiums, with more agreeable license terms.

Compared to the more powerful but still entry-level IBM Multiprise 2000 and 3000 mainframes ( also from the 1990s ), Hercules on typical X86 hardware would be considered a mid-range server in performance terms.

However, the terms multitasking or multiprogramming are more appropriate to describe this concept, which is implemented mostly in software, whereas multiprocessing is more appropriate to describe the use of multiple hardware CPUs.

Since the DBS nomenclature is rarely used in the UK or Ireland, the popularity of Sky's service has caused the terms " minidish " and " digibox " to be applied to products other than Sky's hardware.

The hardware sees the world in terms of the execution mode according to the processor status register, and processes are an abstraction provided by the operating system.

Since its discontinuation, remnants of classful network concepts remain in practice only in limited scope in the default configuration parameters of some network software and hardware components ( e. g., default subnet mask ), but the terms are often still used in general discussions of network structure among network administrators.

Impact may be measured quantitatively and qualitatively in terms of the uptake and use of ICT in teaching foreign languages, issues of availability of hardware and software, budgetary considerations, Internet access, teachers ’ and learners ' attitudes to the use of CALL, changes in the ways in which languages are learnt and taught, and paradigm shifts in teachers ’ and learners ’ roles.

* only during initialization-based on input parameters ( when the process is more commonly described as software ' configuration ' and is somewhat analogous, in hardware terms, to setting jumpers for printed circuit boards ).

However, they would still require significant advances in home PCs ' CPU power in order to compete with hardware modems in terms of performance and reliability.

A network interface controller ( also known as a network interface card, network adapter, LAN adapter and by similar terms ) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network.

In terms of hardware, the new motherboard was a cleaner design that drew less power and resolved audio noise issues that interfered with the Ensoniq synthesizer in the original motherboard.

This site should be just like the main location in terms of hardware, software, and security features.

Thus, a CAM is the hardware embodiment of what in software terms would be called an associative array.

Other bending units of the same model as Bender, such as Flexo, share the same hardware design, but differ in terms of their personality and behavior.

Vendors of software-protection dongles ( and dongle-controlled software ) often use terms such as " hardware key ", " hardware token ", or " security device " instead of " dongle ", but the term " dongle " is much more common in day-to-day use.

As the newer versions were released over a three-year period they increasingly became outdated in terms of improving computer hardware.

The UK industry is the third largest in the World in terms of developer success and sales of hardware and software by country alone but fourth behind Canada in terms of people employed.

Unlike the Unreal Engine 2, which still supported fixed-function pipeline, the Unreal Engine 3 was designed to take advantage of fully programmable shader hardware ( in DirectX 9 terms, it required shader model 3. 0 ).

The terms architect and architecture are also used in the disciplines of landscape architecture, naval architecture and often information technology ( for example a software architect ).

This architecture freed up the Amiga's processor for other tasks and gave the Amiga a performance edge over its competitors, particularly in terms of video-intensive applications and games.

Its widespread use in many Roman structures, a key event in the history of architecture termed the Roman Architectural Revolution, freed Roman construction from the restrictions of stone and brick material and allowed for revolutionary new designs in terms of both structural complexity and dimension.

He coined the terms bounded rationality and satisficing, and was the first to analyze the architecture of complexity and to propose a preferential attachment mechanism to explain power law distributions.

The Norse had a strong sense of naval architecture, and during the early medieval period they were advanced for their time, compared to other European nations ( earlier shipbuilding techniques, for example those of Mediterranean peoples, such as ancient Greece and Rome, were far more sophisticated and varied, especially in terms of joinery ).

kIPS is also a common joke name for 16 bit microprocessor designs developed in undergraduate computer engineering courses that use the text Computer Organization and Design by Patterson and Hennessy ( ISBN 1-55860-428-6 ), which explains computer architecture concepts in terms of the MIPS architecture.

In computing architecture terms, this is Direct Memory Access ( DMA ), where Agnus is the DMA Controller ( DMAC ).

However, other terms, such as Gothic architecture, used to refer to a style typical of the High Middle Ages have largely lost the negative connotations they initially had, acquiring new meanings over time ( see Gothic architecture and Goth subculture ).

Computers that were mostly identical or compatible in terms of the machine code or architecture of the System / 360 included Amdahl's 470 family ( and its successors ), Hitachi mainframes, the UNIVAC 9200 / 9300 / 9400 series, Fujitsu as the Facom, the RCA Spectra 70 series, and

In terms of architecture and royal association, it was not until the Mastership of Thomas Nevile ( 1593 – 1615 ) that Trinity assumed both its spaciousness and courtly association with the governing class that distinguished it until the Civil War.

The villas designed by Corbusier in the early part of the 1920s demonstrated what he termed the " precision " of architecture, where each feature of the design needed to be justified in design and urban terms.

Criticism has been levelled at Corbusier's five points of architecture from a general point of view and these apply specifically to the Villa Savoye in terms of:

If not monitored and reverted, such violations can transform the architecture into a monolithic block, with negative impacts in terms of understandability, maintainability, and evolvability.

In the United States, the terms American Craftsman or Craftsman style are often used to denote the style of architecture, interior design, and decorative arts that prevailed between the dominant eras of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, or approximately the period from 1910 to 1925.

Zolpidem is more selective and zaleplon is highly selective for the α < sub > 1 </ sub > subunit, thus giving them an advantage over benzodiazepines in terms of sleep architecture and a reduction in side-effects.

For certain types of computing applications, this type of architecture can produce enormous increases in performance, in terms of the elapsed time required to complete a given task.

The most specialised events, in terms of attracting few visitors, were the architecture exhibition in Poplar, with 87, 000 visitors and the exhibition of books in South Kensington, with 63, 000.

* Church architecture, including description of common terms

The 704 was significantly improved over the IBM 701 in terms of architecture as well as implementations which were not compatible with its predecessor.
