On February 23, 2012, Micron Technology will become the largest shareholder of Inotera Memories, a major DRAM ( dynamic random access memory ) maker in Taiwan, after fully subscribing 763 million shares issued by Inotera for a capital increment of NT $ 5 billion via private placement.

Located in Hwa-Ya Technology Park in Gueishan, Taoyuan County, Taiwan, Inotera currently has two 300mm fabrication facilities with a combined capacity of approximately 130 thousand wafer starts per month, nearly 10 % of the worldwide 300mm capacity for DRAM manufacturing.

Inotera Memories, Inc. ( Traditional Chinese: 華亞科技, Hanyu Pinyin: huā yǎ kē jì ), incorporated on January 2003 as a joint venture between Nanya Technology Corporation and Infineon ( later Qimonda ).

All of Inotera ’ s manufacturing capacity is reserved for these two customers on an equal basis.

On October 12, the company announced the purchase of Qimonda's stake in Inotera technologies for $ 400 million.

In 2008 Micron Technology, Inc. acquired 35. 5 % stake in Inotera from Qimonda.

Inotera ’ s main products are currently the 512Mb DDR, 512Mb DDR2, 1Gb DDR2 and 1Gb DDR3 products featuring high density, high speed, and low power consumption.

Controlling the broadcast domain in this fashion provides many of the advantages of a point-to-point network, using commodity broadcast-based hardware.

The Bank provides an array of financial risk management products including foreign exchange swaps, currency conversions, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and floors, and commodity swaps.

Since payment by commodity generally provides a useful good, commodity money is similar to barter, but is distinguishable from it in having a single recognized unit of exchange.

Strategic goals could be " We want to conquer area X ", or " We want to stop country Y's expansion in world trade in commodity Z "; while tactical decisions range from a general statement, e. g. " We're going to do this by a naval invasion of the North of country X ", " We're going to blockade the ports of country Y ", to a more specific " C Platoon will attack while D platoon provides fire cover ".

A rotating top band of the screen rotates provides real-time updates on index and commodity prices from world markets.

Using data on 118 countries over the period 1970-2007, a study by economists at the University of Cambridge provides evidence against the Dutch disease operating in primary commodity abundant countries.

For instance, a food security agenda that simply provides surplus grain to hungry people would probably be strongly criticised by food sovereignty advocates as just another form of commodity dumping, facilitating corporate penetration of foreign markets, undermining local food production, and possibly leading to irreversible biotech contamination of indigenous crops with patented varieties.

The section also provides that dealers in commodities can elect mark to market treatment for any commodity ( or their derivatives ) which is actively traded ( i. e., for which there is an established financial market that provides a reasonable basis to determine fair market value by disseminating price quotes from broker / dealers or actual prices from recent transactions ).

Smith's second definition pleases neoclassical economists, who determine value by the utility that a commodity provides a person rather than cost of production as do classical economists.

It also provides easy access to information on market fluctuations, and commodity prices to all the parties involved.

ERS provides information to Congressional and executive branch policymakers and their staffs, commodity and trade associations, the media, public interest groups, and the general public.

The HP-UX operating system hosts the Integrity VM hypervisor layer that allows for many important features of HP-UX to be taken advantage of and provides major differentiation between this platform and other commodity platforms-such as processor hotswap, memory hotswap, and dynamic kernel updates without system reboot.

That said, he provides some reasons why we may have a basis for trust in the testimony of persons: because a ) human memory can be relatively tenacious ; and b ) because people are inclined to tell the truth, and ashamed of telling falsities.

When a backplane is used with a plug-in single board computer ( SBC ) or system host board ( SHB ), the combination provides the same functionality as a motherboard, providing processing power, memory, I / O and slots for plug-in cards.

Episodic memory is believed to be the system that provides the basic support for semantic memory.

Even for in-memory databases clustering provides performance advantage due to common utilization of large caches for input-output operations in memory, with similar resulting behavior.

This discovery provides evidence for a possible mechanism that could enhance memory.

The size of the grouping varies but computer hardware nearly always provides a way to represent a processor register, or memory address as an integer ; the set of integer sizes available varies between different types of computers.

It is a multipurpose, programmable device that accepts digital data as input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory, and provides results as output.

A motherboard ( sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard, system board, planar board or logic board ) is a printed circuit board ( PCB ) found in all modern computers which holds many of the crucial components of the system, such as the central processing unit ( CPU ) and memory, and provides connectors for other peripherals.

However, the 68030 provides an additional synchronous bus interface which, if used, accelerates memory accesses up to 33 % compared to an equally clocked 68020.

The CPU simulator provides a number of extra features to the hacker, such as the ability to single-step through each processor instruction and to examine the CPU registers and modified memory spaces as the simulation runs.

True BASIC provides statements for matrix arithmetic, a feature that had been present in Dartmouth BASIC since early times, but had been dropped in almost all microcomputer versions of BASIC interpreters due to memory limitations.

zlib provides facilities for control of processor and memory use.

The use of shared memory and an atomic test-and-set instruction provides the mutual exclusion.

The CLR provides additional services including memory management, type safety and exception handling.

He provides the example of a computer, which under hierarchical reductionism is explained in terms of the operation of hard drives, processors, and memory, but not on the level of AND OR gates, or on the even lower level of electrons in a semiconductor medium.

NOR-based flash has long erase and write times, but provides full address and data buses, allowing random access to any memory location.

Modern day game consoles and videogames, starting with the PC-Engine, all have a minimal BIOS that also provides some interactive utilities such as memory card management, audio or video CD playback, copy protection and sometimes carry libraries for developers to use etc.

However, even smartly implemented on the fastest computer now available, this algorithm provides no way of effectively computing solutions for large numbers of disks ; the program would require more time and memory than available.

Another modification provides a pathway between the instruction memory ( such as ROM or flash ) and the CPU to allow words from the instruction memory to be treated as read-only data.

A branch provides that the next instruction is fetched from somewhere else in memory.

Though this adds an extra jump over the cost of an intra-module call resulting in a performance penalty, it provides a key benefit: The number of memory pages that need to be copy-on-write changed by the loader is minimized, saving memory and disk I / O time.
