In Java, any method can call System.exit(int status), unless a security manager does not permit it.This will terminate the currently running Java Virtual Machine. "The argument serves as a status code; by convention, a nonzero status code indicates abnormal termination."
The Nvidia CUDA Compiler (NVCC) translates code written in CUDA, a C++-like language, into PTX instructions (an assembly language represented as American Standard Code for Information Interchange text), and the graphics driver contains a compiler which translates PTX instructions into executable binary code, [2] which can run on the processing ...
CUDA provides both a low level API (CUDA Driver API, non single-source) and a higher level API (CUDA Runtime API, single-source). The initial CUDA SDK was made public on 15 February 2007, for Microsoft Windows and Linux. Mac OS X support was later added in version 2.0, [17] which supersedes the beta released February 14, 2008.

Java 5 Update 5 (1.5.0_05) is the last release of Java to work on Windows 95 (with Internet Explorer 5.5 installed) and Windows NT 4.0. [34] Java 5 was first available on Apple Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) [35] and was the default version of Java installed on Apple Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Public support and security updates for Java 1.5 ended in ...
CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model that higher level languages can use to exploit parallelism. In CUDA, the kernel is executed with the aid of threads. The thread is an abstract entity that represents the execution of the kernel. A kernel is a function that compiles to run on a special device. Multi threaded ...
Address space layout randomization (ASLR) is a computer security technique involved in preventing exploitation of memory corruption vulnerabilities. [1] In order to prevent an attacker from reliably redirecting code execution to, for example, a particular exploited function in memory, ASLR randomly arranges the address space positions of key data areas of a process, including the base of the ...
GCC supports FMA4 with -mfma4 since version 4.5.0 [25] and FMA3 with -mfma since version 4.7.0. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 supports FMA4 instructions. [26] Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 supports FMA3 instructions (if the processor also supports AVX2 instruction set extension). Microsoft Visual C++ since VC 2013; PathScale supports FMA4 with ...
The key to its design was a fairly high parallelism, with up to 256 processors, which allowed the machine to work on large datasets in what would later be known as vector processing. However, ILLIAC IV was called "the most infamous of supercomputers", because the project was only one-fourth completed, but took 11 years and cost almost four ...
