Turing completeness in SQL is implemented through advanced standard features, illustrating one reason relatively powerful non-Turing-complete languages are rare: the more powerful the language is initially, the more complex are the tasks to which it is applied and the sooner its lack of completeness becomes perceived as a drawback, encouraging its extension until it is Turing complete.

Reactive armor requires a vehicle be specifically designed with the system integrated and while developments continue to make armor lighter, any vehicle that includes such a system necessitates a powerful engine and will still be relatively slow.

Due to the age of the earlier System / 360 and System / 370 hardware, it is a relatively safe assumption that Hercules will outperform them when running on moderately powerful hardware, despite the considerable overhead of emulating a computer architecture in software.

The counterweight trebuchet was a relatively new type of ballistic siege engine which was much more powerful than the earlier traction trebuchets, which had existed in China for centuries.

Such computers are more versatile in that they do not need to have their hardware reconfigured for each new program, but can simply be reprogrammed with new in-memory instructions ; they also tend to be simpler to design, in that a relatively simple processor may keep state between successive computations to build up complex procedural results.

In the early 1970s, this gave rise to ideas to return to simpler processor designs in order to make it more feasible to cope without ( then relatively large and expensive ) ROM tables and / or PLA structures for sequencing and / or decoding.

Only a few thousand systems using the original Merced Itanium processor were sold, due to relatively poor performance, high cost and limited software availability.

With new processor hardware, new memory hardware and a novel memory architecture, a new compiler port, a new port of a relatively new operating system, and exposed memory hazards, early systems were noted for frequent system crashes.

To maximize performance, programmers often used the processor exclusively in one mode or the other, deferring the relatively slow switch between them as long as possible.

A relatively fast dual processor X86 machine running Hercules is capable of sustaining about 50 to 60 MIPS for code that utilizes both processors in a realistic environment, with sustained rates rising to a reported 300 MIPS on leading-edge ( early 2009 ) PC-class systems.

After achieving success with the BBC Micro computer, Acorn Computers Ltd considered how to move on from the relatively simple MOS Technology 6502 processor to address business markets like the one that would soon be dominated by the IBM PC, launched in 1981.

This allowed Sinclair to adapt the relatively low-cost processor and produce an ' electronic slide rule ' that fitted easily in a shirt pocket, at a price that even impecunious students could afford.

The machines were built around the 8-bit Zilog Z80 processor, running at 4 MHz, and managed the relatively large amount of RAM main memory using a technique known as bank switching ( allowing access to more than the Z80's normal 16-bit address bus reach of 64 kB ).

Rainbow tables are tested against a captured WPA / WPA2 Hash Code via a computer's processor with relatively low numbers of simultaneous processes possible.

However, developers and advocates of competing emulators often criticize ZSNES for its relatively poor accuracy and being written in x86 assembly, meaning non-portability across processor architectures and high difficulty to develop and maintain.

A program generally comprises numerous tasks, a task being a relatively small group of processor instructions which together achieve a definable logical step in the completion of a job or the execution of a continuous-running application program.
