  2. Computer architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_architecture

    The first documented computer architecture was in the correspondence between Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, describing the analytical engine.While building the computer Z1 in 1936, Konrad Zuse described in two patent applications for his future projects that machine instructions could be stored in the same storage used for data, i.e., the stored-program concept.

  3. Minimal instruction set computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_instruction_set...

    Minimal instruction set computer (MISC) is a central processing unit (CPU) architecture, usually in the form of a microprocessor, with a very small number of basic operations and corresponding opcodes, together forming an instruction set. Such sets are commonly stack-based rather than register-based to reduce the size of operand specifiers.

    The interface is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, though it can also be used to transmit audio, USB, and other forms of data. Unline HDMI, DisplayPort is open source. drive bay A standard-sized area within a computer case for adding hardware (hard drives, CD drives, etc.) to a computer.

  5. No instruction set computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_instruction_set_computing

    In computer science, zero instruction set computer (ZISC) refers to a computer architecture based solely on pattern matching and absence of (micro-)instructions in the classical [clarification needed] sense. These chips are known for being thought of as comparable to the neural networks, being marketed for the number of "synapses" and "neurons ...

  6. Systems architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_architecture

    Example of a high-level systems architecture for a computer. A system architecture is the conceptual model that defines the structure, behavior, and views of a system. [1] An architecture description is a formal description and representation of a system, organized in a way that supports reasoning about the structures and behaviors of the system.

  7. Explicitly parallel instruction computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicitly_parallel...

    It was the basis for Intel and HP development of the Intel Itanium architecture, [3] and HP later asserted that "EPIC" was merely an old term for the Itanium architecture. [4] EPIC permits microprocessors to execute software instructions in parallel by using the compiler , rather than complex on- die circuitry, to control parallel instruction ...

  8. Orthogonal instruction set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_instruction_set

    In computer engineering, an orthogonal instruction set is an instruction set architecture where all instruction types can use all addressing modes.It is "orthogonal" in the sense that the instruction type and the addressing mode may vary independently.

  9. Software design pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design_pattern

    In software engineering, a software design pattern or design pattern is a general, reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in many contexts in software design. [1] A design pattern is not a rigid structure to be transplanted directly into source code.
