Modern mainframe design is generally less defined by single-task computational speed ( typically defined as MIPS rate or FLOPS in the case of floating point calculations ), and more by:

Modern routers are able to support both MPLS and IP natively across a common interface allowing network operators great flexibility in network design and operation.

From the 1920s onwards, the Modern movement sought to design and plan cities which followed the logic of the new model of industrial mass production ; reverting to large-scale solutions, aesthetic standardisation and prefabricated design solutions ( Goodchild 1990 ).

It was condemned by Ruskin as the very model of mechanical dehumanisation in design, but later came to be presented as the prototype of Modern architecture.

Modern postmarks are often applied simultaneously with the cancellation or killer that marks the postage stamp ( s ) as having been used ( though in some circumstances there may be a postmark without a killer, and sometimes the postmark and killer form a continuous design ), and the two terms are often used interchangeably, if incorrectly.

Modern software design approaches usually combine both top-down and bottom-up approaches.

Modern design and fabrication techniques, along with advanced materials such as graphite, boron and fibreglass composites as well as stainless steel ( see Emmrod )- have allowed rod makers to tailor both the shape and action of fishing rods for greater casting distance, accuracy, and fish-fighting qualities.

Built in the 1950s, Skibo Hall's design was typical of Mid-Century Modern architecture, but was poorly equipped to deal with advances in computer and internet connectivity.

Modern urban design can be considered as part of the wider discipline of Urban planning.

Works such as Ildefons Cerda's General Theory of Urbanization ( 1867 ), Camillo Sitte ’ s City Planning According to Artistic Principles ( 1889 ), and Robinson ’ s The Improvement of Cities and Towns ( 1901 ) and Modern Civic Art ( 1903 ), all were primarily concerned with urban design, as did the later City Beautiful movement in North America.

During this time, he gained international recognition for a bridge design displayed at the Museum of Modern Art.

His bold, colorful and design oriented paintings significantly influenced Modern art.

Its design has a spot in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection.

The Festival was an influential advocate of the concept of " Good Design ", a rational approach to product design in accordance with the principles of the Modern Movement.

Modern scholarship rejects this attribution in favour of Jean de Chelles or Thomas de Cormont, while Robert Branner saw in the design the hand of an unidentified master mason from Amiens.

Modern safety glasses tend to be given a more stylish design in order to encourage their use.

In 1995, Aprilia commissioner Philippe Starck to design the Motò which was shown in New York ’ s Modern Art Museum.

Modern ICBMs typically carry multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles ( MIRVs ), each of which carries a separate nuclear warhead, allowing a single missile to hit multiple targets.

In A Dictionary of Modern English Usage ( 1926 ), H. W. Fowler states that applying the word nigger to " others than full or partial negroes " is " felt as an insult by the person described, & betrays in the speaker, if not deliberate insolence, at least a very arrogant inhumanity "; but the second edition ( 1965 ) states: " N. has been described as ' the term that carries with it all the obloquy and contempt and rejection which whites have inflicted on blacks.

Modern variants usually deliver multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles ( MIRVs ) each of which carries a nuclear warhead and allows a single launched missile to strike several targets.

Modern disk drive systems have considerable processing power on board, so that the host system only needs request a particular block of data and the drive internally carries out all the steps required to retrieve it.

Modern systems use " hot arms ", where the whole arm carries the current, increasing efficiency.

The station changed its call letters to KBFF and carries a slogan of " Today's Modern Mix for the Modern Woman ".

Modern CPUs are typically 2-operand or 3-operand machines — the additional operands specify which one of many general purpose registers ( also called " general purpose accumulators ") are used as the source and destination for calculations.

Modern calculations in quantum chemistry usually start from ( but ultimately go far beyond ) a molecular orbital rather than a valence bond approach, not because of any intrinsic superiority in the former but rather because the MO approach is more readily adapted to numerical computations.

Modern computer calculations have shown this conjecture to be true for integers up to at least 4 × 10 < sup > 14 </ sup >, but still no general proof has been found.

Modern calculations show that the dimensions and fourteen-sided layout were dictated by the use of the standard 16th-century measure of one rod as a base and the carpenter's " rule of thumb " method of dividing a circle into seven equal parts, subdivided.

In 493 A. D., Victorius of Aquitaine wrote a 98-column multiplication table which gave ( in Roman numerals ) the product of every number from 2 to 50 times and the rows were " a list of numbers starting with one thousand, descending by hundreds to one hundred, then descending by tens to ten, then by ones to one, and then the fractions down to 1 / 144 " Modern school children are often taught to memorize " times tables " to avoid calculations of the most commonly used numbers ( up to 9 x 9 or 12 x 12 ).

Modern GPUs use most of their transistors to do calculations related to 3D computer graphics.

Modern development cycles include a prototyping phase which examines the potential precision loss and overflow of designs using fixed point calculations before proceeding to physical prototyping.

Engines do not typically account for Modern Mechanics ( see Theory of relativity and Quantum mechanics ) because most visualization deals with large bodies moving relatively slowly, but the most complicated engines perform calculations for Modern Mechanics as well as Classical.
