  2. Write protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_protection

    These mechanisms are intended to prevent only accidental data loss or attacks by computer viruses. A determined user can easily circumvent them either by covering a notch with adhesive tape or by creating one with a punch as appropriate, or sometimes by physically altering the media transport to ignore the write-protect mechanism.

    WORM drives preceded the invention of the CD-R, DVD-R and BD-R.An example was the IBM 3363. [1] These drives typically used either a 5.1 in (13 cm) or a 12 in (30 cm) disc in a cartridge, with an ablative optical layer that could be written to only once, and were often used in places like libraries that needed to store large amounts of data.

  5. Memory type range register - Wikipedia

    This often increases the speed of image write operations by several times, at the cost of losing the simple sequential read/write semantics of normal memory. Additional bits which are provided on some computer architectures , such as AMD64 , allow the shadowing of ROM contents in memory (shadow ROM), and the configuration of memory-mapped I/O .

  6. Help:Advanced table formatting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Advanced_table_formatting

    The answer is that when the table has a row without containing any rowspan=1 cell, this row is "compressed" upwards and disappears. Solution: divide one of the tall cells so that the row gets one rowspan=1 cell (and don't mind the eventual loss of text-centering). Then kill the border between them.

  7. Memory protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_protection

    Capability-based addressing is a method of memory protection that is unused in modern commercial computers. In this method, pointers are replaced by protected objects (called capabilities) that can only be created using privileged instructions which may only be executed by the kernel, or some other process authorized to do so.

  8. Readers–writer lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readers–writer_lock

    [7] [8] [9] For a write-preferring RW lock one can use two integer counters and one Boolean flag: num_readers_active: the number of readers that have acquired the lock (integer) num_writers_waiting: the number of writers waiting for access (integer) writer_active: whether a writer has acquired the lock (Boolean).

  9. Write-only memory (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-only_memory...

    In addition to its literal meaning, the term may be applied to a situation when the data written by one circuit can be read only by other circuitry. The most common occurrence of the latter situation is when a processor writes data to a write-only register of hardware the processor is controlling. The hardware can read the instruction but the ...
