*: Faster Floating Point Sorting and Multiple Histogramming with implementation in C ++

The completion of the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge across Lake Washington in 1963 allowed Redmond to flourish as a suburb of Seattle.

These problems are being mitigated by the expansion of SR-520 and the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, as well as the planned light rail service via East Link from Seattle to Redmond during the second phase of Sound Transit.

Their main differences were the CPU, RAM, and Weitek Floating Point Accelerator boards, disk controllers and disk drives ( both ST-506 and SMD were available ).

* The IBM Floating Point Architecture ( until superseded by the IEEE 754-1985 floating-point standard, 20 years later )

National Semiconductor also produced related support chips like Floating Point Units ( FPUs ), Memory Management Units ( MMUs ), and Direct Memory Access ( DMA ) controllers.

* IBM Floating Point Architecture

This is often supported in Floating Point Hardware called FPUs.

This was partly inspired by the difficulty Fisher observed at Yale of compiling for architectures like Floating Point Systems ' FPS164, which had a complex instruction set architecture ( CISC ) that separated instruction initiation from the instructions that saved the result, requiring very complicated scheduling algorithms.

* Floating Point written with or without an exponent ( 0., 1. 5 ,-0. 05, + 100. 4 ,-4.,. 05E-2, -. 05E2, 5E02, 5. E2 );

Oregon-based Floating Point Systems ( FPS ) built add-on array processors for minicomputers, later building their own minisupercomputers.

* Floating Point Systems, a computer company founded in 1970 and later purchased by Cray Research

The ASIC integrated two 700 MHz PowerPC 440 embedded processors, each with a double-pipeline-double-precision Floating Point Unit ( FPU ), a cache sub-system with built-in DRAM controller and the logic to support multiple communication sub-systems.

Three floating bridges cross Lake Washington: the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge ( officially the Governor Albert D. Rosellini Bridge-Evergreen Point ) carries State Route 520 from Seattle's Montlake neighborhood to Medina while the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge and the Third Lake Washington Bridge ( officially the Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge ) carries Interstate 90 from Seattle's Mount Baker neighborhood to Mercer Island.

Mainframe is divided into six sectors ( moving clockwise ): Baudway, Kits, Floating Point Park, Beverly Hills, Wall Street, and Ghetty Prime ( also called G-Prime ).

He has been called “ The Father of Floating Point ,” since he was instrumental in creating the original IEEE 754 specification.

On 28 April 2008 the recording sessions from the previous year surfaced on the album Floating Point, featuring the rhythm section of keyboardist Louis Banks, bassist Hadrien Feraud, percussionist Sivamani and drummer Ranjit Barot bolstered on each track by a different Indian musician.

*" The Last Days of the Permanent Floating Riot Club " is included in the short story collection A Hole in Space

Floating point data is similarly packed into a word and handled by library.

While each convention is run separately by the local committee, an informal and self-selected group of volunteers constitute the " Permanent Floating Worldcon Committee " who volunteer for many Worldcons in different years ; this group offers a measure of institutional continuity to otherwise disparate legal organizations.

Computers operate on a single Floating point number that is essentially constant from each input pixel.

Floating point operations on a signaling NaN ( sNaN ) signal an invalid operation exception, the default exception action is then the same as for qNaN operands and they produce a qNaN if producing a floating point result.

* Floating rate notes ( FRNs, floaters ) have a variable coupon that is linked to a reference rate of interest, such as LIBOR or Euribor.

She swore an oath by the Styx that the Harpies would no longer harangue Phineus, and the Boreads then turned back to return to the Argonauts ; it is for this reason, according to Apollonius, that the " Floating Islands " are now called the Strophades, the " Turning Islands ".

" Floating car " or " probe " data collection is a set of relatively low-cost methods for obtaining travel time and speed data for vehicles traveling along streets, highways, freeways, and other transportation routes.

Floating in front of Watchtower's window, she says a tearful goodbye to Clark, who does not know she's there, and puts on the Legion ring, disappearing into a purple light and into a time and place the audience is never shown.

Floating vegetation is usually small although it may take up a large surface area in a wetland system.

The 54th and last chapter " The Floating Bridge of Dreams " is sometimes argued to be a separate part from the Uji part by modern scholars.

From Bath to Netham Lock where it divides into the New Cut and the Floating Harbour is.

Netham Lock is the point at Netham in Bristol at which boats from the River Avon, gain access to Bristol's Floating Harbour.

The original course is held at a constant level by lock gates ( designed by Jessop ) and is known as the Floating Harbour.

The Floating Harbour is protected by a 1870s replacement for Jessop's locks.

As a result of this, the Floating Harbour is one of the more successful pieces of dockland regeneration, with much of the dockside now occupied by residential, office and cultural premises, and the water area heavily used by leisure craft.

In Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic attempts to find the Chaos Emeralds hidden on the Floating Island after crashing Robotnik's Death Egg into a volcano, while Knuckles is equally determined to stop him by any means necessary.

Floating point DSP's may be invaluable in applications where a wide dynamic range is required.

The medieval Islamic philosopher Avicenna, whilst imprisoned in the castle of Fardajan near Hamadhan, wrote his famous isolated-but-awake " Floating Man " sensory deprivation thought experiment to explore the ideas of human self-awareness and the substantiality of the soul ; his hypothesis being that it is through intelligence, particularly the active intellect, that God communicates truth to the human mind or conscience.

His work Ukigumo ( Floating Clouds, 1887 ) is widely hailed as Japan's first modern novel.

The Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar, September 1782 is one of Britain's largest oil paintings ; it depicts the defeat of the floating batteries at Gibraltar during the Great Siege of Gibraltar.
