  2. Semaphore (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaphore_(programming)

    A mutex is a locking mechanism that sometimes uses the same basic implementation as the binary semaphore. However, they differ in how they are used. While a binary semaphore may be colloquially referred to as a mutex, a true mutex has a more specific use-case and definition, in that only the task that locked the mutex is supposed to unlock it ...

  3. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    Binary is also easily converted to the octal numeral system, since octal uses a radix of 8, which is a power of two (namely, 2 3, so it takes exactly three binary digits to represent an octal digit). The correspondence between octal and binary numerals is the same as for the first eight digits of hexadecimal in the table above. Binary 000 is ...

  4. Counter (digital) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_(digital)

    Voltage changes on the five outputs of the binary counter counting from 00000, left to 11111 (or 31), right (vertically). In digital logic and computing, a counter is a device which stores (and sometimes displays) the number of times a particular event or process has occurred, often in relationship to a clock.

  5. Synchronization (computer science) - Wikipedia

    Some semaphores would allow only one thread or process in the code section. Such Semaphores are called binary semaphore and are very similar to Mutex. Here, if the value of semaphore is 1, the thread is allowed to access and if the value is 0, the access is denied. [15]

  6. Binary data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_data

    However, the values are frequently represented as 1 or 0, which corresponds to counting the number of successes in a single trial: 1 (success…) or 0 (failure); see § Counting. More intuitively, binary data can be represented as count data. Often, binary data is used to represent one of two conceptually opposed values, e.g.:

  8. Digital data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_data

    Digital clock.The time shown by the digits on the face at any instant is digital data. The actual precise time is analog data. Digital data, in information theory and information systems, is information represented as a string of discrete symbols, each of which can take on one of only a finite number of values from some alphabet, such as letters or digits.
