  2. Windows 3.0 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_3.0

    When its successor, Windows 3.1, was released, sales totaled about 10 million copies, [2] and a year later the Windows series would overtake DOS as the bestselling application of all time. [ 62 ] Windows 3.0 is regarded in retrospect as a turning point in the future of Microsoft, being attributed to its later dominance in the operating system ...

    The resulting implementation of the IA-64 64-bit architecture was the Itanium, finally introduced in June 2001. The Itanium's performance running legacy x86 code did not meet expectations, and it failed to compete effectively with x86-64 , which was AMD's 64-bit extension of the 32-bit x86 architecture (Intel uses the name Intel 64 , previously ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_precision

    The Motorola 6888x math coprocessors and the Motorola 68040 and 68060 processors also support a 64-bit significand extended-precision format (similar to the Intel format, although padded to a 96-bit format with 16 unused bits inserted between the exponent and significand fields, and values with exponent zero and bit 63 one are normalized values ...

    Using a tailing architecture, events are stored in log files, and the logs are tailed. The system rolls these events up and writes them to storage. The user interface then pulls the data out and displays it to users. Facebook handles requests as AJAX behavior. These requests are written to a log file using Scribe (developed by Facebook). [35]

  6. bfloat16 floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bfloat16_floating-point_format

    This format is a shortened (16-bit) version of the 32-bit IEEE 754 single-precision floating-point format (binary32) with the intent of accelerating machine learning and near-sensor computing. [3] It preserves the approximate dynamic range of 32-bit floating-point numbers by retaining 8 exponent bits , but supports only an 8-bit precision ...

  7. 2016 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

    Presidential election results map. Red denotes states won by Trump/Pence and blue denotes those won by Clinton/Kaine. Numbers indicate electoral votes cast by each state and the District of Columbia.

  8. Single-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating...

    A floating-point variable can represent a wider range of numbers than a fixed-point variable of the same bit width at the cost of precision. A signed 32-bit integer variable has a maximum value of 2 31 − 1 = 2,147,483,647, whereas an IEEE 754 32-bit base-2 floating-point variable has a maximum value of (2 − 2 −23) × 2 127 ≈ 3.4028235 ...

  9. IEEE 754 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754

    The existing 64- and 128-bit formats follow this rule, but the 16- and 32-bit formats have more exponent bits (5 and 8 respectively) than this formula would provide (3 and 7 respectively). As with IEEE 754-1985, the biased-exponent field is filled with all 1 bits to indicate either infinity (trailing significand field = 0) or a NaN (trailing ...
