The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is an annual science fair in the United States. [1] It is owned and administered by the Society for Science, [2] a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C. [3] Each May, more than 1800 students from roughly 75 countries and territories compete in the fair for scholarships, tuition grants, internships, scientific ...
The Intel Foundation Achievement Awards are US$5,000 scholarships presented to high school students in recognition of their achievements in the scientific disciplines. Up to 15 are awarded, on selection by a panel of judges, each year at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
The IBM PC (BIOS and MS-DOS runtime) does not follow the official Intel layout beyond the first five exception vectors implemented in the original 8086. Interrupt 5 is already used for handling the Print Screen key, IRQ 0-7 is mapped to INT_NUM 0x08-0x0F, and BIOS is using most of the vectors in the 0x10-0x1F range as part of its API. [6]
Thomas Nicely, a professor of mathematics at Lynchburg College, had written code to enumerate primes, twin primes, prime triplets, and prime quadruplets.Nicely noticed some inconsistencies in the calculations on June 13, 1994, shortly after adding a Pentium system to his group of computers, but was unable to eliminate other factors (such as programming errors, motherboard chipsets, etc.) until ...
A hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is an abstraction layer, implemented in software, between the physical hardware of a computer and the software that runs on that computer. . Its function is to hide differences in hardware from most of the operating system kernel, so that most of the kernel-mode code does not need to be changed to run on systems with different hardwa
Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) is a set of instruction codes implementing trusted execution environment that are built into some Intel central processing units (CPUs). ). They allow user-level and operating system code to define protected private regions of memory, called encla
[4] Jef Raskin advocated designing devices in ways that prevent erroneous actions. [5] Don Norman suggests changing the common technical attitude towards user error: Don't think of the user as making errors; think of the actions as approximations of what is desired. [6]
Connection of the GPU inside the Westmere microarchitecture. Westmere (formerly Nehalem-C) is the code name given to the 32 nm die shrink of Nehalem.While sharing the same CPU sockets, Westmere included Intel HD Graphics, while Nehalem did not.
