  2. 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]

  3. 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 ...

  4. Cache placement policies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_placement_policies

    Consider a main memory of 16 kilobytes, which is organized as 4-byte blocks, and a direct-mapped cache of 256 bytes with a block size of 4 bytes. Because the main memory is 16kB, we need a minimum of 14 bits to uniquely represent a memory address. Since each cache block is of size 4 bytes, the total number of sets in the cache is 256/4, which ...

  5. AVX-512 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVX-512

    AVX-512 are 512-bit extensions to the 256-bit Advanced Vector Extensions SIMD instructions for x86 instruction set architecture (ISA) proposed by Intel in July 2013, and first implemented in the 2016 Intel Xeon Phi x200 (Knights Landing), [1] and then later in a number of AMD and other Intel CPUs (see list below).

  6. CPU cache - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_cache

    The 68020, released in 1984, replaced that with a typical instruction cache of 256 bytes, being the first 68k series processor to feature true on-chip cache memory. The 68030 , released in 1987, is basically a 68020 core with an additional 256-byte data cache, an on-chip memory management unit (MMU), a process shrink, and added burst mode for ...

  7. Video games and Linux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_games_and_Linux

    [citation needed] The open source design of the Linux software platform allows the operating system to be compatible with various computer instruction sets and many peripherals, such as game controllers and head-mounted displays. As an example, HTC Vive, which is a virtual reality head-mounted display, supports the Linux gaming platform ...

  8. Memory address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_address

    In theory, modern byte-addressable 64-bit computers can address 2 64 bytes (16 exbibytes), but in practice the amount of memory is limited by the CPU, the memory controller, or the printed circuit board design (e.g., number of physical memory connectors or amount of soldered-on memory).

  9. 128-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/128-bit_computing

    A processor with 128-bit byte addressing could directly address up to 2 128 (over 3.40 × 10 38) bytes, which would greatly exceed the total data captured, created, or replicated on Earth as of 2018, which has been estimated to be around 33 zettabytes (over 2 74 bytes). [1] A 128-bit register can store 2 128 (over 3.40 × 10 38) different values.
