When the PC starts up, the first job for the BIOS is the power-on self-test, which initializes and identifies system devices such as the CPU, RAM, video display card, keyboard and mouse, hard disk drive, optical disc drive and other hardware.

The term BIOS ( Basic Input / Output System ) was invented by Gary Kildall and first appeared in the CP / M operating system in 1975, describing the machine-specific part of CP / M loaded during boot time that interfaces directly with the hardware ( a CP / M machine usually has only a simple boot loader in its ROM ).

Another approach, used by modern hardware graphics adapters with accelerated geometry, can convert exactly all Bézier and conic curves ( or surfaces ) into NURBS, that can be rendered incrementally without first splitting the curve recursively to reach the necessary flatness condition.

It was first written to run on BeBox hardware.

Initially designed to run on AT & T Hobbit-based hardware, BeOS was later modified to run on PowerPC-based processors: first Be's own systems, later Apple Inc .' s PowerPC Reference Platform and Common Hardware Reference Platform, with the hope that Apple would purchase or license BeOS as a replacement for its then aging Mac OS.

As more and more programs enter the realm of firmware, and the hardware itself becomes smaller, cheaper and faster as predicted by Moore's law, elements of computing first considered to be software, join the ranks of hardware.

Although this originally had been planned when Commodore first switched from the parallel IEEE-488 interface to a custom serial interface, hardware bugs in the VIC-20's 6522 VIA shift register prevented it from working properly.

When the 4GL was first introduced, a disparate mix of hardware and operating systems mandated custom application development support that was specific to the system in order to ensure sales.

The first commercial computer with floating point hardware was Zuse's Z4 computer designed in 1942 – 1945.

* The first successful open system architecture by segregating system-specific hardware interfaces in a set of BIOS routines.

Lacking a technological base at first, the Germans imported their engineering and hardware from Britain, but quickly learned the skills needed to operate and expand the railways.

It included new hardware drivers and the FAT32 file system which supports disk partitions that are larger than 2 GB ( first introduced in Windows 95 OSR2 ).

The System / 360 was also the first computer in wide use to include dedicated hardware provisions for the use of operating systems.

Lacking a technological base at first, the Germans imported their engineering and hardware from Britain, but quickly learned the skills needed to operate and expand the railways.

By extending the 16 / 24-bit IBM PC / AT standard into a natively 32-bit computing environment, Compaq became the first third party to implement a major technical hardware advance on the PC platform.

In the first years 2000, the initial ASE capability was expanded with the possibility to run, thanks to the new hardware power, multiple site emulators on the same hardware, so the system was renamed into Multi-AEGIS Site Emulator ( MASE ).

After the progress of the war induced him to flee Berlin for the rural Allgäu, where he could not do any hardware work, he designed the first high-level programming language, Plankalkül (" Plan Calculus "), in 1945 / 6.

At first, the cost of such computer hardware meant that it had to be shared among many users.

And that is the way I first saw her when my Uncle brought her into his antique store.

He managed to beat Eversharp to market in late 1945 ; the first ballpoint pens went on sale at Gimbels department store in New York City on 29 October 1945 for US $ 9. 75 each.

These factors led to the shift of the store of value being the metal itself: at first silver, then both silver and gold, at one point there was bronze as well.

When the cache client ( a CPU, web browser, operating system ) needs to access a datum presumed to exist in the backing store, it first checks the cache.

The first programmable pocket calculator was the HP-65, in 1974 ; it had a capacity of 100 instructions, and could store and retrieve programs with a built-in magnetic card reader.

He first took a job in a dry goods store, and later in a bookstore.

However, this explanation has been criticized that the brain would not be able to store information without a sensory input first.

In 1881, the first department store opened in Winnipeg, Manitoba ; a building considered as the flagship store of Hudson's Bay Company.

The history of stored-program computers relates first to computer architecture, that is, the organization of the units to perform input and output, to store data and to operate as an integrated mechanism.
