A method of communicating with a computer’s operating system in which you type commands from a defined set into a specific location on the monitor display. Command-based systems are usually programmable.
Industry:Semiconductors
An addressing protocol in which bytes are numbered from right to left within a word. More significant bytes in a word have higher numbered addresses. Endian ordering is specific to hardware and is determined at reset. See also big endian.
Industry:Semiconductors
Software that enables computer hardware to communicate with a device. A device driver may also translate data and call other drivers to actually send data to a device. The software development board (SDB) uses a device driver for Windows NT to ensure communication between the host and the SDB.
Industry:Semiconductors
A 32-bit word in a parallel processor’s parameter RAM in which it places messages to clients (chiefly, the master processor).
Industry:Semiconductors
An advanced digital signal processor that is used for video compression/decompression (P_64 or MPEG), still-image compression/decompression (JPEG), 2-D and 3-D graphic functions such as line draw, trapezoid fill, antialiasing, and a variety of high-speed integer operations on image data. A ’C8x single-chip multiprocessor device may contain from one to eight parallel processors, depending on the device version.
Industry:Semiconductors
Specific multiplexer setting combinations that cause the same arithmetic logic unit (ALU) function to perform various distinct operations by controlling the routing of operands to the ALU. Eight operation classes are supported by the base set of ALU operations.
Industry:Semiconductors
A method of filling the low- or high-order bits with zeros when loading a 16-bit number into a 32-bit field.
Industry:Semiconductors
An aggressive level of optimization where all of the source files are compiled into one intermediate file. Because the compiler can see the entire program, several optimizations are performed with program-level optimization that are rarely applied during filelevel optimization.
