This allowed a new device to be added easily, generally only requiring plugging a hardware interface board into the backplane, and then installing software that read and wrote to the mapped memory to control it.

Hardly any software vendor wrote EDIF 2 0 0 output that did not have severe violations of syntax or semantics.

In this manifesto, the authors wrote about a hacker ethic centering around passion, hard work, creativity and joy in creating software.

It was named after the amateur radio callsign of Phil Karn, who first wrote the software for a CP / M system and then ported it to DOS on the IBM PC.

He wrote a number of software packages ( including BRL-CAD ) and network tools ( including ttcp and the concept of the default route or " default gateway ") and contributed to many others ( including BIND ).

One of the earliest pieces of software he wrote for Linux was the Midnight Commander file manager, a text-mode file manager.

With Ingo Molnar he wrote the original software implementation of RAID-1 and RAID-5 drivers of the Linux kernel.

Dijkstra wrote his seminal paper, " Go To Statement Considered Harmful ", in 1968 and David Parnas introduced the key concept of modularity and information hiding in 1972 to help programmers deal with the ever increasing complexity of software systems.

Programmers collaborated and wrote the Agile Manifesto, which favored more lightweight processes to create cheaper and more timely software.

Brooks wrote " Question: How does a large software project get to be one year late?

Collaborative software was originally designated as groupware and this term can be traced as far back as the late 1980s, when Richman and Slovak ( 1987 ) wrote:

Robert Reid underscores this importance stating, " while still an undergraduate, Marc wrote the Mosaic software ... that made the web popularly relevant and touched off the revolution " ( p. xlii ).

Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows division at Microsoft wrote in a June 1994 email: We do not currently plan on any other client software the upcoming release of Windows 95, especially something like Mosaic or Cello.

The Cambridge cryptographer Ross Anderson has great concerns that " TC can support remote censorship [...] In general, digital objects created using TC systems remain under the control of their creators, rather than under the control of the person who owns the machine on which they happen to be stored ( as at present ) [...] So someone who writes a paper that a court decides is defamatory can be compelled to censor it — and the software company that wrote the word processor could be ordered to do the deletion if she refuses.

Sam Varshavchik, the author of the Courier Mail Server and other software, wrote an extension to the Maildir format called Maildir ++ to support subfolders and mail quotas.

The magazine was founded by American journalist Louis Rossetto and his partner Jane Metcalfe and Ian Charles Stewart in 1993 with initial backing from software entrepreneur Charlie Jackson and eclectic academic Nicholas Negroponte of the MIT Media Lab, who was a regular columnist for six years, through 1998 and wrote the book Being Digital.

CompuServe designed and manufactured its own network processors, based on the DEC PDP-11, and wrote all the software that ran in the network.

When Ben Rosen of Morgan Stanley saw the program, he wrote that " VisiCalc might be the software tail that wagged the computer industry dog.

A prominent computing scientist, E. W. Dijkstra, wrote in a paper that the coining of the term software engineer was not useful since it was an inappropriate analogy, " The existence of the mere term has been the base of a number of extremely shallow — and false — analogies, which just confuse the issue ... Computers are such exceptional gadgets that there is good reason to assume that most analogies with other disciplines are too shallow to be of any positive value, are even so shallow that they are only confusing.

In the February 1991 edition of Electronic Learning, Robert McCarthy wrote: " Teachers, educational administrators and software developers are enthusiastic about the new, lower cost Apple Macintosh computers ".

In the school year of 1983-1984, Mark Jenks and Todd Krause, two students at Washington High School in Milwaukee, wrote a software program for talking among a group of people.

The renovation was orchestrated by Matt Bucy, a Yale-trained architect who formerly wrote software for New England Digital.

* Worst-case execution time – determines the longest time that a piece of software can take to run

The Aster computer could use the software written for the popular Tandy TRS-80 computer while fixing many of the problems of that computer, but it could also run CP / M software, with a big amount of free memory ( Transient Program Area, TPA ) and a full 80 × 25 display, and it could be used as a Videotext terminal.

Also the more interesting software offered for CP / M systems could not run well on a TRS-80.

The comparatively low price for a complete computer system with dedicated monitor, its high resolution monochrome text and graphic capabilities and the possibility to run CP / M software also rendered the system attractive for business users, which was reflected by a wide selection of application software.

Since early BBSes were frequently run by computer hobbyists, they were typically technical in nature with user communities revolving around hardware and software discussions.

Another common type of board was the " support BBS " run by a manufacturer of computer products or software.

The BIOS software is built into the PC, and is the first code run by a PC when powered on (' boot firmware ').

In effect, integer size sets a hardware limit on the range of integers the software run by the CPU can utilize.

Computer software is so called to distinguish it from computer hardware, which encompasses the physical interconnections and devices required to store and execute ( or run ) the software.

These tools have been, and still are, offered as on-premises software that companies purchase and run on their own IT infrastructure.

At the turn of the millennium, the line between a graphing calculator and a handheld computer was not always clear, as some very advanced calculators such as the TI-89, the Voyage 200 and HP-49G could differentiate and integrate functions, solve differential equations, run word processing and PIM software, and connect by wire or IR to other calculators / computers.

Although the C128 could not run any DOS-based software, this capability allowed data files to be exchanged with PC users.

It was the second IBM PC compatible, being capable of running all software that would run on an IBM PC.

This allowed customers to run their existing LINC programs, or " upgrade " to the PDP-8, all in software.

This was a way to allow PDP-8 software to be run even after the official end-of-life announcement for the Digital PDP-8 product line.

Database servers are dedicated computers that hold the actual databases and run only the DBMS and related software.

Some software providers also produced compilers for BASIC, and other languages, to produce binary ( or " machine ") code which would run many times faster and make better use of the small system RAM.

The systems are sufficiently similar that a significant fraction of the compiled software produced for one machine will run on the other.

This included the use of ROM for library software that could be run much faster than the same code in the normal core memory, due to the latter ’ s need to be written immediately after being read.

The French Prolog computer language, designed in 1972, marks a real advance over expert systems like Dendral or Mycin: it is a shell, that is to say a software structure ready to receive any expert system and to run it.

At about the same time, SOE revised the Macintosh client software to run natively on Intel processors.

The free software movement is a social and political movement with the goal of ensuring software users ' four basic freedoms: the freedom to run their software, to study and change their software, and to redistribute copies with or without changes.
