They may have single connector to connect one disk array controller or multiple connectors that can be connected to one or more controllers in arbitrary way.

Matter falling onto a black hole can form an accretion disk heated by friction, forming some of the brightest objects in the universe.

However, an open disk is not compact, because a sequence of points can tend to the boundary without getting arbitrarily close to any point in the interior.

Clutches in typical cars are mounted directly to the face of the engine's flywheel, as this already provides a convenient large diameter steel disk that can act as one driving plate of the clutch.

Like the 1571, it can read various other disk formats using special software.

When the amount of RAM is not sufficient to run all the current programs, it can result in a situation where the computer spends more time moving memory from RAM to disk and back than it does accomplishing tasks ; this is known as thrashing.

This means that if the CPU requests data from a disk, for example, it does not need to busy-wait until the read is over ; it can issue the request and continue with some other execution.

This can be done, for example, by visual means ( e. g., a spinning slotted disk, which functions as a simple stroboscope ) without interfering with the measurement itself.

The common FAT file system can have multiple files whose names differ only in case if the user uses a disk editor to edit the file names in the directory entries.

Copying files to another hard disk in the same computer protects against failure of one disk, but if it is necessary to protect against failure or destruction of the entire computer, then copies of the files must be made on other media that can be taken away from the computer and stored in a safe, distant location.

Large-scale structures are very long arcs which can cover over a quarter of the solar disk but contain plasma less dense than in the coronal loops of the active regions.

Sometimes, a disk operating system can refer to the entire operating system if it is loaded off a disk and supports the abstraction and management of disk devices.

If these relations are stored physically as separate disk files, completing a database query that draws information from several relations ( a join operation ) can be slow.

The Airy disk around each of the stars from the 2. 56 m telescope aperture can be seen in this lucky imaging | lucky image of the binary star zeta Boötis.

The Rayleigh criterion specifies that two point sources can be considered to be resolvable if the separation of the two images is at least the radius of the Airy disk, i. e. if the first minimum of one coincides with the maximum of the other.

The gas, however, can quickly contract, and as it does so it rotates faster, until the final result is a very thin, very rapidly rotating disk.

It has been suggested that the radiation from bright newly formed stars, or from an active galactic nuclei can slow the contraction of a forming disk.

It has also been suggested that the dark matter halo can pull the galaxy, thus stopping disk contraction.

The resulting disk of stars can be seen as a band on the sky from our perspective inside the disk.

So if a page fault occurs, the OS can load the page from disk and then simply re-execute the faulted instruction.

The volume descriptor is constructed in this manner so that if a program reading the disk does not understand a particular descriptor, it can just skip over it until it finds one it can read, thus allowing the use of many different types of information on one volume.

Samplers typically allow a user to edit a sample and save it to a hard disk, apply effects to it, and shape it with the same tools that synthesizers use.

All relevant data is assumed to exist solely on the remote server, and the X terminal user has no methods available to save or load data from a local terminal device such as a floppy disk, CDROM, or USB storage device.

The pair soon invented camera obscura telescopy so as to save their eyes and get a better view of the solar disk, and observed that the spots moved.

Spellevator had a utility on the disk's flipside that let a user create a word list and save it to any ProDOS formatted floppy disk.

Most, if not all, of these computers shipped with a built-in BASIC interpreter on ROM, which also served as a crude command line interface, allowing the user to load a separate disk operating system to perform file management commands and load and save to disk.

You could easily save out macros to named files, and load them in the same way, allowing you to construct programs by loading up various macros from the disk into one large program.

files can be identified by the extension ; for example, if you save a project to a disk, two files will be saved, and.

The machine included sound in / out ports on the back that could be attached to a cassette tape recorder, so BASIC could load and save programs to tape without needing a disk drive.

In an effort to save money on production, Nintendo opted to not use disk shutters ( a feature seen on

If no RAM is free, it may be necessary to choose an existing page ( known as a victim ), using some replacement algorithm, and save it to disk ( this is called " paging ").

The 128 introduced the ability to save to the + D Disciple disk system, but lost its joystick port.

The main feature of the Multiface 3 was its ability to save to + 3 disk, a useful feature for + 3 owners who wanted to avoid the long loading times of tapes.

This type of shellcode does not spawn a shell, but rather instructs the machine to download a certain executable file off the network, save it to disk and execute it.

Beatmania gave birth to several spinoffs, such as the Beatmania IIDX series ( a more advanced version featuring 7-keys and higher difficulty levels ) and the other being Beatmania III, a remake of the 5-key series which featured a more modern hardware platform, a pedal for optional effects and a 3. 5 " floppy disk drive to save play records.

Upon startup, EDU25 would save the contents of memory to DECtape or disk and restore it when it exited.

When computers such as laptops go into a " hibernation " mode to save energy by shutting down the processor, the state of the processor is stored on the computer's disk, so it can be restored when the computer comes out of hibernation, and the processor can take up operations where it left off.

Possible restrictions include the inability to save an unencrypted digital program to a hard disk or other non-volatile storage, inability to make secondary copies of recorded content ( in order to share or archive ), forceful reduction of quality when recording ( such as reducing high-definition video to the resolution of standard TVs ), and inability to skip over commercials.

After having finished a project, one can erase everything but the project file, to save disk space, and at a later time Final Cut Pro can re-capture / re-link all source data and recalculate all render and cache data, provided it can access all linked sources.

The full 50 playable league systems are included, as well as a 250, 000-strong player database ( very near to the figure of the PC version ), but due to the large save files of the game, the Xbox hard disk drive is required.

* Its rewritable disk format also allows the player to save created tracks.

No disk drive was integrated, so only MIDI SysEx dumps and memory cards provided methods to save sequences and programs outside the keyboard.

It could also interrupt the current game or save it to disk ( freezer ).

The Net Yaroze had no direct successor on the PlayStation 2 platform, but Sony's Linux for PlayStation 2 is similar in its appeal to hobbyists and amateur developers, although the demo disk that was bundled with the system on release had an application called Yabasic and allowed users to program in basic and run on the PlayStation 2 system, it came preloaded with some simple games and users could save their programs to the memory card.
