  2. Floating point operations per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point_operations...

    Floating point operations per second (FLOPS, flops or flop/s) is a measure of computer performance in computing, useful in fields of scientific computations that require floating-point calculations. [1] For such cases, it is a more accurate measure than measuring instructions per second. [citation needed]

  3. Constant (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    The most significant are: compile-time (statically valued) constants, run-time (dynamically valued) constants, immutable objects, and constant types . Typical examples of compile-time constants include mathematical constants, values from standards (here maximum transmission unit ), or internal configuration values (here characters per line ...

  4. McDonnell Douglas MD-80 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_MD-80

    Demand for the MD-80SF was disappointing due to two factors. First, the MD-80's cross section does not match the narrowbody freighter types used by the integrators, severely limiting the market for the freighter. Second, the values of the 737-400SF fell faster than expected, closing the gap with the MD-80SF, which burns 12 percent more fuel. [14]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_personal_computers

    The history of the personal computer as a mass-market consumer electronic device began with the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s. A personal computer is one intended for interactive individual use, as opposed to a mainframe computer where the end user's requests are filtered through operating staff, or a time-sharing system in which one large processor is shared by many individuals.

    Computer glitches, mechanical issues, and weather phenomena affect circulation but do not stop the paper from reaching customers. [283] The College Point facility prints over two dozen other papers, including The Wall Street Journal and USA Today. [284] The New York Times has halted its printing process several times to account for major ...

  7. Energy efficiency in transport - Wikipedia

    Chevrolet Volt in full electric mode uses 36 kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (810 kJ/km; 94 mpg‑e), meaning it may approach or exceed the energy efficiency of walking if the car is fully occupied with 4 or more passengers, although the relative emissions produced may not follow the same trends if analysing environmental impacts.
