Unlike the IEEE, however, the ACM is solely dedicated to computing.

ACM's primary historical competitor has been the IEEE Computer Society, which is the largest subgroup of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

The IEEE focuses more on hardware and standardization issues than theoretical computer science, but there is considerable overlap with ACM's agenda.

The symbol for bit, as a unit of information, is either simply " bit " ( recommended by the ISO / IEC standard 80000-13 ( 2008 )) or lowercase " b " ( recommended by the IEEE 1541 Standard ( 2002 )).

The unit symbol for the byte is specified in IEC80000-13, IEEE 1541 and the Metric Interchange Format as the upper-case character B.

He is a Fellow of the ACM ( 1994 ) and an IEEE Fellow.

The floating-point control register ( FPCR ) is a 64-bit register defined by the architecture intended for use by Alpha implementations with IEEE 754-compliant floating-point hardware.

As with other IEEE 802 LANs, each Ethernet station is given a 48-bit MAC address.

IEEE 1101. 10 covers the additional mechanical and EMI features required for VITA 1. 1-1997 ( R2002 ) which is the VME64 Extensions standard as well as PICMG 2. 0 ( R3. 0 ) which is the CompactPCI specification.

This is the connector that is used for the VMEbus standard which was IEEE 1014.

FireWire is Apple's trademark for the IEEE 1394 interface.

However, since the 1990s, the most commonly encountered representation is that defined by the IEEE 754 Standard.

The common IEEE formats are described in detail later and elsewhere, but as an example, in the binary single-precision ( 32-bit ) floating-point representation p = 24 and so the significand is a string of 24 bits.

When this is stored using the IEEE 754 encoding, this becomes the significand s with e = 1 ( where s is assumed to have a binary point to the right of the first bit ) after a left-adjustment ( or normalization ) during which leading or trailing zeros are truncated should there be any.

Floating-point representation, in particular the standard IEEE format, is by far the most common way of representing an approximation to real numbers in computers because it is efficiently handled in most large computer processors.

The complete range of the format is from about − 10 < sup > 308 </ sup > through + 10 < sup > 308 </ sup > ( see IEEE 754 ).

This position is endorsed by other standards organizations including the IEEE, the International Committee for Weights and Measures ( CIPM ) and the U. S. National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ), but the binary prefixes have seen limited acceptance.

IEEE 802. 15 is a working group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ( IEEE ) IEEE 802 standards committee which specifies Wireless Personal Area Network ( WPAN ) standards.

IEEE 802. 15. 3-2003 is a MAC and PHY standard for high-rate ( 11 to 55 Mbit / s ) WPANs.
