The four boards were made of clear plastic ( in a simple square design in the original release and in a funkier design for the 1972 reissue ) with circular playing pieces that resembled small poker chips in red, blue, and yellow ; each player used a single color.

An unnamed cat appeared in two 1992 strips as the companion of Dilbert's " perfect romantic match "; he or she strongly resembled the later Catbert design.

A common layout resembled Jeremy Bentham's prison panopticon, a radial design with four three-storey buildings at its centre set within a rectangular courtyard, the perimeter of which was defined by a three-storey entrance block and single-storey outbuildings, all enclosed by a wall.

Highway 1 Strats use hotter Alnico III pickup polepieces similar to those on American Series guitars. The first model ( 3 + years ) of Highway 1 instruments resembled " pre-CBS "- era instruments with the traditional headstock design, small frets and vintage color choices.

( Collectible Automobile ran an article about 1971-76 full-sized Buicks where one sketch design for their 2-door coupes which was rejected resembled the 1971-73 Riviera.

As late as 1917 a car appeared in American Flyer's product line that closely resembled a Hafner design.

Nieuport developed an improved design specifically intended as a fighter-the Nieuport 11, which was regarded as the " baby " ( bébé ) of the 10, which it closely resembled, except in size.

Kahn was pleased with this development because it allowed him to design the museum with galleries that resembled the ancient Roman vaults he had always admired.

* In April 2012, the Anti-Defamation League condemned Urban Outfitters for selling a tee-shirt with a six-pointed star design, which the ADL claims strongly resembled the star Jews in Nazi Germany were made to wear during the Holocaust.

The kimono Madonna wore in the video had been created by Jean-Paul Gaultier, who would later design Madonna's geisha-inspired costumes on her Drowned World Tour in 2001.

Its design style and excellent cross-country performance earned it the nickname of ' Greyhound '.

Because of Athlon's very large L1 cache and the exclusive design which turns the L2 cache into basically a " victim cache ", the need for high L2 performance and size was lessened.

This design, wherein the CPU's execution resources can operate on only one instruction at a time, can only possibly reach scalar performance ( one instruction per clock ).

Attempts to achieve scalar and better performance have resulted in a variety of design methodologies that cause the CPU to behave less linearly and more in parallel.

Similar to the AMD K5, the Cyrix 6x86 was a design far more focused on integer per-clock performance than clock scalability, something that proved to be a strategic mistake.

In particular, many design techniques that make a CPU run faster make the " performance per watt ", " performance per dollar ", and " deterministic response " much worse, and vice versa.

Examples for tools relate to database design, application programming, application program maintenance, database performance analysis and monitoring, database configuration monitoring, DBMS hardware configuration ( a DBMS and related database may span computers, networks, and storage units ) and related database mapping ( especially for a distributed DBMS ), storage allocation and database layout monitoring, storage migration, etc.

A standard piece of database design guidance is that the designer should create a fully normalized design ; selective denormalization can subsequently be performed for performance reasons.

Firewalls being used in different application may require different design and performance specifications.

The Ford GT40 is a high performance British-American sports car and winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans four consecutive times, from 1966 to 1969 ( 1966 being the Mk II, 1967 the Mk IV, and 1968-1969 the oldest chassis design, the Mk I ).

Some contemporary players of these modern electric harps, especially solid body and minimalist design instruments, have been able to add the advantage of movement on stage into their musical performance.

The IEC charter embraces all electrotechnologies including energy production and distribution, electronics, magnetics and electromagnetics, electroacoustics, multimedia and telecommunication, as well as associated general disciplines such as terminology and symbols, electromagnetic compatibility ( by its Advisory Committee on Electromagnetic Compatibility, ACEC ), measurement and performance, dependability, design and development, safety and the environment.

A 16-MHz 486 therefore has a performance similar to a 33-MHz 386, and the older design has to reach 50 MHz to be comparable with a 25-MHz 486 part.

An early visual programming system, Max, was modelled after analog synthesizer design and has been used to develop real-time music performance software since the 1980s.

Performance appraisal is frequently used in promotion and compensation decisions, to help design and validate personnel selection procedures, and for performance management.

Similar to performance management ( see above ), an I – O psychologist would employ a job analysis in concert with principles of instructional design to create an effective training program.

The interaction of task design and group performance strategies in determining group effectiveness.

The tradeoffs between application backward compatibility vs CPU performance are hotly debated by CPU design engineers.

In this way, microprogramming enabled IBM to design many System / 360 models with substantially different hardware and spanning a wide range of cost and performance, while making them all architecturally compatible.

Jochen Liedtke identified the design and implementation of the IPC mechanisms as the underlying reason for this poor performance.

Historically, drivers were less of a problem, as the number of devices was small and trusted anyway, so having them in the kernel simplified the design and avoided potential performance problems.

However, Jochen Liedtke showed that Mach's performance problems were the result of poor design and implementation, and specifically Mach's excessive page cache footprint.
