  2. Android (operating system) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)

    Android has a growing selection of third-party applications, which can be acquired by users by downloading and installing the application's APK (Android application package) file, or by downloading them using an application store program that allows users to install, update, and remove applications from their devices.

  3. Multiple instruction, multiple data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_instruction...

    From a programmer's point of view, this memory model is better understood than the distributed memory model. Another advantage is that memory coherence is managed by the operating system and not the written program. Two known disadvantages are: scalability beyond thirty-two processors is difficult, and the shared memory model is less flexible ...

  4. Mobile processor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_processor

    An Intel Pentium Mobile, clocked at 300 MHz (1998). A mobile processor is a microprocessor designed for mobile devices such as laptops and cell phones.. A CPU chip is designed for portable computers to run fanless, under 10 to 15W, which is cool enough without a fan. [1]

  5. Android Runtime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Runtime

    Android Runtime (ART) is an application runtime environment used by the Android operating system. Replacing Dalvik , the process virtual machine originally used by Android, ART performs the translation of the application's bytecode into native instructions that are later executed by the device's runtime environment.

  6. Multiprocessor system architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprocessor_system...

    Multiprocessor system with a shared memory closely connected to the processors. A symmetric multiprocessing system is a system with centralized shared memory called main memory (MM) operating under a single operating system with two or more homogeneous processors. There are two types of systems: Uniform memory-access (UMA) system; NUMA system

  7. Dalvik (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_(software)

    A Dalvik-powered phone. The relative merits of stack machines versus register-based approaches are a subject of ongoing debate. [17]Generally, stack-based machines must use instructions to load data on the stack and manipulate that data, and, thus, require more instructions than register machines to implement the same high-level code, but the instructions in a register machine must encode the ...

  8. Hardware abstraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction

    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

  9. ARM7 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM7

    It is a versatile processor designed for mobile devices and other low power electronics. This processor architecture is capable of up to 130 MIPS on a typical 0.13 μm process. The ARM7TDMI processor core implements ARM architecture v4T. The processor supports both 32-bit and 16-bit instructions via the ARM and Thumb instruction sets.
