  2. Halt and Catch Fire (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halt_and_Catch_Fire...

    The Motorola 6800 microprocessor was the first for which an undocumented assembly mnemonic HCF became widely known. The operation codes (opcodes—the portions of the machine language instructions that specify an operation to be performed) hexadecimal 9D and DD were reported and given the unofficial mnemonic HCF in a December 1977 article by Gerry Wheeler in BYTE magazine on undocumented ...

  3. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    Locally decodable codes are error-correcting codes for which single bits of the message can be probabilistically recovered by only looking at a small (say constant) number of positions of a codeword, even after the codeword has been corrupted at some constant fraction of positions.

  4. Exit status - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_status

    In computing, the exit status (also exit code or exit value) of a terminated process is an integer number that is made available to its parent process (or caller). In DOS , this may be referred to as an errorlevel .

  5. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    A label is an explicit name or number assigned to a fixed position within the source code, and which may be referenced by control flow statements appearing elsewhere in the source code. A label marks a position within source code and has no other effect. Line numbers are an alternative to a named label used in some languages (such as BASIC).

  6. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    The on-line textbook: Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms, by David J.C. MacKay, contains chapters on elementary error-correcting codes; on the theoretical limits of error-correction; and on the latest state-of-the-art error-correcting codes, including low-density parity-check codes, turbo codes, and fountain codes.

  7. Hang (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_(computing)

    February 2023) (Learn how and when to remove this message) In computing , a hang or freeze occurs when either a process or system ceases to respond to inputs . A typical example is when computer's graphical user interface (such as Microsoft Windows [ a ] ) no longer responds to the user typing on the keyboard or moving the mouse.

  8. Infinite loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop

    This makes part of the data structure into a ring, causing naive code to loop forever. While most infinite loops can be found by close inspection of the code, there is no general method to determine whether a given program will ever halt or will run forever; this is the undecidability of the halting problem. [8]

  9. Low-density parity-check code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-density_parity-check_code

    The parity bit may be used within another constituent code. In an example using the DVB-S2 rate 2/3 code the encoded block size is 64800 symbols (N=64800) with 43200 data bits (K=43200) and 21600 parity bits (M=21600). Each constituent code (check node) encodes 16 data bits except for the first parity bit which encodes 8 data bits.
