Loop device, a Unix device node that allows a file to be mounted as if it were a device; LOOPS, the object system for Interlisp-D; continue statement (in some languages skip, cycle, next, loop, or iterate), a structured control statement that skips ahead to the next iteration of the loop containing it; Microsoft Loop, collaborative software
Sometimes, the loop device is erroneously referred to as loopback device, but this term is reserved for a networking device in operating systems. The concept of the loop device is distinct. In BSD-derived systems, such as NetBSD and OpenBSD , the loop device is called "virtual node device" or "vnd", and generally located at /dev/vnd0 , /dev ...
The time loop is a popular trope in Japanese pop culture media, especially anime. [15] Its use in Japanese fiction dates back to Yasutaka Tsutsui's science fiction novel The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (1965), one of the earliest works to feature a time loop, about a high school girl who repeatedly relives the same day.
A loupe (/ ˈ l uː p / LOOP) is a simple, small magnification device used to see small details more closely. [1] They generally have higher magnification than a magnifying glass, and are designed to be held or worn close to the eye. A loupe does not have an attached handle, and its focusing lens(es) are contained in an opaque cylinder or cone ...
Counter (digital), an electronic device, mechanical device, or computer program for counting; Loop counter, the variable that controls the iterations of a loop; Jeton, a reckoning counter used on reckoning boards for calculations; Mechanical counter, a digital counter using mechanical components; Tally counter, a mechanical counting device
The compressed loop device (cloop) is a module for the Linux kernel.It adds support for transparently decompressed, read-only block devices.It is not a compressed file system: cloop is mostly used as a convenient way to compress conventional file systems onto Live CDs.
In the C programming language, Duff's device is a way of manually implementing loop unrolling by interleaving two syntactic constructs of C: the do-while loop and a switch statement. Its discovery is credited to Tom Duff in November 1983, when Duff was working for Lucasfilm and used it to speed up a real-time animation program.
The first dedicated loop device was the Paradis LOOP Delay. [6] The Paradis and other models had volatile memories, forcing composers to develop fresh loops live in front of their audiences — and thus, live looping came into existence. Roland and DigiTech loop pedals entered the market in 2001, around the same time DJ mixing gained popularity ...
