  2. Octuple-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

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

    In computing, octuple precision is a binary floating-point-based computer number format that occupies 32 bytes (256 bits) in computer memory. This 256-bit octuple precision is for applications requiring results in higher than quadruple precision. The range greatly exceeds what is needed to describe all known physical limitations within the ...

    1,024 bits (128 bytes) - RAM capacity of the Atari 2600: 1,288 bits (161 bytes) – approximate maximum capacity of a standard magnetic stripe card: 2 11: 2,048 bits (256 bytes) – RAM capacity of the stock Altair 8800: 2 12: 4,096 bits (512 bytes) – typical sector size, and minimum space allocation unit on computer storage volumes, with ...

  4. 256-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/256-bit_computing

    SHA-256 hash function. Smart contracts use 256- or 257-bit integers; 256-bit words for the Ethereum Virtual Machine. "We realize that a 257 bits byte is quite unusual, but for smart contracts it is ok to have at least 256 bits numbers. The leading VM for smart contracts, Ethereum VM, introduced this practice and other blockchain VMs followed." [8]

  5. Rust (video game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(video_game)

    Rust features crafting, though initially limited until the discovery of specific items in the game's open world. To stay protected, players must build bases or join clans to improve their chance of survival. Raiding is a major aspect of Rust. Rust supports modded servers which can add additional content.

  6. Zero page (CP/M) - Wikipedia

    In 8-bit CP/M versions it is located in the first 256 bytes of memory, hence its name. The equivalent structure in DOS is the Program Segment Prefix (PSP), a 256-byte (page-sized) structure, which is by default located exactly before offset 0 of the program's load segment, rather than in segment 0.

  7. Mode 13h - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_13h

    Default VGA 256-color palette. Mode 13h is the standard 256-color mode on VGA graphics hardware introduced in 1987 with the IBM PS/2. It has a resolution of 320 × 200 pixels. [1] It was used in computer games and art/animation software of the late 1980s and early to mid-1990s. [citation needed] "13h" refers to the number of the mode in the VGA ...

  8. Zero page - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_page

    The zero page or base page is the block of memory at the very beginning of a computer's address space; that is, the page whose starting address is zero. The size of a page depends on the context, and the significance of zero page memory versus higher addressed memory is highly dependent on machine architecture.

  9. Loop unrolling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_unrolling

    Loop unrolling, also known as loop unwinding, is a loop transformation technique that attempts to optimize a program's execution speed at the expense of its binary size, which is an approach known as space–time tradeoff.
