    3.11 for Workgroups:Sparta. DOS 3.3 or higher. 16-bit*. Windows 3.1 Windows for Workgroups 3.1 Windows 3.11 Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Windows 3.2 ( Simplified Chinese only) Desktops. * Has partial 32-bit compatibility with Win32s.

  3. Half-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

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

    The advantage over 8-bit or 16-bit integers is that the increased dynamic range allows for more detail to be preserved in highlights and shadows for images, and avoids gamma correction. The advantage over 32-bit single-precision floating point is that it requires half the storage and bandwidth (at the expense of precision and range).

  4. 1-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-bit_computing

    1-bit. A serial computer processes data a single bit at a time. For example, the PDP-8/S was a 12-bit computer using a 1-bit ALU, processing the 12 bits serially.. An example of a 1-bit computer built from discrete logic SSI chips is the Wang 500 (1970/1971) calculator as well as the Wang 1200 (1971/1972) word processor series developed by Wang Laboratories.

  5. 16-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16-bit_computing

    16-bit application. In the context of IBM PC compatible and Wintel platforms, a 16-bit application is any software written for MS-DOS, OS/2 1.x or early versions of Microsoft Windows which originally ran on the 16-bit Intel 8088 and Intel 80286 microprocessors. Such applications used a 20- bit or 24-bit segment or selector-offset address ...

  6. 8-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8-bit_computing

    In computer architecture, 8-bit integers or other data units are those that are 8 bits wide (1 octet ). Also, 8-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers or data buses of that size. Memory addresses (and thus address buses) for 8-bit CPUs are generally larger than 8-bit ...

  7. 128-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/128-bit_computing

    128-bit computing. In computer architecture, 128-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 128 bits (16 octets) wide. Also, 128-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size.

  8. List of interface bit rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interface_bit_rates

    List of interface bit rates. This is a list of interface bit rates, is a measure of information transfer rates, or digital bandwidth capacity, at which digital interfaces in a computer or network can communicate over various kinds of buses and channels. The distinction can be arbitrary between a computer bus, often closer in space, and larger ...

  9. 32-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32-bit_computing

    v. t. e. In computer architecture, 32-bit computing refers to computer systems with a processor, memory, and other major system components that operate on data in 32- bit units. [1] [2] Compared to smaller bit widths, 32-bit computers can perform large calculations more efficiently and process more data per clock cycle.
