  2. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    FreeBSD uses 64-bit time_t for all 32-bit and 64-bit architectures except 32-bit i386, which uses signed 32-bit time_t instead. [23] The x32 ABI for Linux (which defines an environment for programs with 32-bit addresses but running the processor in 64-bit mode) uses a 64-bit time_t. Since it was a new environment, there was no need for special ...

  3. Locally decodable code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locally_decodable_code

    The rate of a code is inversely related to the query complexity, but the exact shape of this tradeoff is a major open problem. [8] [9] It is known that there are no LDCs that query the codeword in only one position, and that the optimal codeword size for query complexity 2 is exponential in the size of the original message. [8]

  4. Binary-to-text encoding - Wikipedia

    "A Convention for Human-readable 128-bit Keys". A series of small English words is easier for humans to read, remember, and type in than decimal or other binary-to-text encoding systems. [12] Each 64-bit number is mapped to six short words, of one to four characters each, from a public 2048-word dictionary. [11]

  5. 8b/10b encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8b/10b_encoding

    Because 8b/10b encoding uses 10-bit symbols to encode 8-bit words, some of the possible 1024 (10 bit, 2 10) symbols can be excluded to grant a run-length limit of 5 consecutive equal bits and to ensure the difference between the count of zeros and ones to be no more than two. Some of the 256 possible 8-bit words can be encoded in two different ...

  6. Endianness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness

    Many processors have instructions to convert a word in a register to the opposite endianness, that is, they swap the order of the bytes in a 16-, 32- or 64-bit word. Recent Intel x86 and x86-64 architecture CPUs have a MOVBE instruction ( Intel Core since generation 4, after Atom ), [ 28 ] which fetches a big-endian format word from memory or ...

  7. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    CPython is distributed with a large standard library written in a mixture of C and native Python, and is available for many platforms, including Windows (starting with Python 3.9, the Python installer deliberately fails to install on Windows 7 and 8; [141] [142] Windows XP was supported until Python 3.5) and most modern Unix-like systems ...

  8. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    Viterbi decoding allows asymptotically optimal decoding efficiency with increasing constraint length of the convolutional code, but at the expense of exponentially increasing complexity. A convolutional code that is terminated is also a 'block code' in that it encodes a block of input data, but the block size of a convolutional code is ...

  9. Word (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_(computer_architecture)

    The z/Architecture, which is the 64-bit member of that architecture family, continues to refer to 16-bit halfwords, 32-bit words, and 64-bit doublewords, and additionally features 128-bit quadwords. In general, new processors must use the same data word lengths and virtual address widths as an older processor to have binary compatibility with ...
