  2. Volume boot record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_boot_record

    The boot code in the VBR can assume that the BIOS has set up its data structures and interrupts and initialized the hardware. The code should not assume more than 32 KB of memory to be present for fail-safe operation; [1] if it needs more memory it should query INT 12h for it, since other pre-boot code (such as f.e. BIOS extension overlays, encryption systems, or remote bootstrap loaders) may ...

  3. Comparison of bootloaders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_bootloaders

    Note: The column MBR (Master Boot Record) refers to whether or not the boot loader can be stored in the first sector of a mass storage device. The column VBR (Volume Boot Record) refers to the ability of the boot loader to be stored in the first sector of any partition on a mass storage device.

  4. Examples of data mining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Examples_of_data_mining

    An example of data mining related to an integrated-circuit (IC) production line is described in the paper "Mining IC Test Data to Optimize VLSI Testing." [12] In this paper, the application of data mining and decision analysis to the problem of die-level functional testing is described. Experiments mentioned demonstrate the ability to apply a ...

  5. ATM adaptation layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATM_adaptation_layer

    AAL Type 5 is similar to AAL 3/4 with a simplified information header scheme. This AAL assumes that the data is sequential from the end user and uses the Payload Type Indicator (PTI) bit to indicate the last cell in a transmission. Examples of services that use AAL 5 are classic IP over ATM, Ethernet Over ATM, SMDS, and LAN Emulation (LANE).

  6. BIOS parameter block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_parameter_block

    In computing, the BIOS parameter block, often shortened to BPB, is a data structure in the volume boot record (VBR) describing the physical layout of a data storage volume. On partitioned devices, such as hard disks, the BPB describes the volume partition, whereas, on unpartitioned devices, such as floppy disks, it describes the entire medium ...

  7. Comparison of Visual Basic and Visual Basic .NET - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Visual_Basic...

    It would be better to think of Visual Basic .NET as a new language inspired by the classic Visual Basic rather than as a continuation of Visual Basic 6.0, with the added difficulty for migrating programmers that VB.NET interfaces with the .NET Framework whereas VB6 was based on the Component Object Model (COM). [citation needed]

  8. Traffic contract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_contract

    Currently, five ATM Forum-defined service categories exist (see Table 1). The basic differences among these service categories are described in the following sub-sections. [2] [3] These service categories provide a method to relate traffic characteristics and QoS requirements to network behaviour.

  9. Data mining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mining

    The difference between data analysis and data mining is that data analysis is used to test models and hypotheses on the dataset, e.g., analyzing the effectiveness of a marketing campaign, regardless of the amount of data. In contrast, data mining uses machine learning and statistical models to uncover clandestine or hidden patterns in a large ...
