  2. Binary code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

    The word 'Wikipedia' represented in ASCII binary code, made up of 9 bytes (72 bits). A binary code represents text, computer processor instructions, or any other data using a two-symbol system. The two-symbol system used is often "0" and "1" from the binary number system. The binary code assigns a pattern of binary digits, also known as bits ...

  3. History of software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_software

    Alan Turing is credited with being the first person to come up with a theory for software in 1935, which led to the two academic fields of computer science and software engineering. The first generation of software for early stored-program digital computers in the late 1940s had its instructions written directly in binary code , generally ...

  4. History of compiler construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_compiler...

    The intermediate representation is a simple sequence of operations which can be used by an optimizer and a code generator which produces instructions in the machine language of the target processor. Because the code generator uses an intermediate representation, the same code generator can be used for many different high-level languages.

  5. Frank Gray (researcher) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gray_(researcher)

    Frank Gray (13 September 1887 – 23 May 1969) was a physicist and researcher at Bell Labs who made numerous innovations in television, both mechanical and electronic, and is remembered for the Gray code. The Gray code, or reflected binary code (RBC), appearing in Gray's 1953 patent, [1] is a binary numeral system often used in electronics, but ...

  6. Code generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_generation

    In computing, code generation denotes software techniques or systems that generate program code which may then be used independently of the generator system in a runtime environment. Specific articles: Code generation (compiler), a mechanism to produce the executable form of computer programs, such as machine code, in some automatic manner

  7. History of computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computing

    This experimental model is binary, executed addition and subtraction in octal binary code and is the first binary digital electronic computing device. The Atanasoff–Berry computer was intended to solve systems of linear equations, though it was not programmable.

  8. List of binary codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_binary_codes

    This is a list of some binary codes that are (or have been) used to represent text as a sequence of binary digits "0" and "1". Fixed-width binary codes use a set number of bits to represent each character in the text, while in variable-width binary codes, the number of bits may vary from character to character.

  9. George Boole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Boole

    George Boole (/ b uː l / BOOL; 2 November 1815 – 8 December 1864) was a largely self-taught English mathematician, philosopher and logician, most of whose short career was spent as the first professor of mathematics at Queen's College, Cork in Ireland.
