  2. Binary translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_translation

    A translator using static binary translation aims to convert all of the code of an executable file into code that runs on the target architecture without having to run the code first, as is done in dynamic binary translation. This is very difficult to do correctly, since not all the code can be discovered by the translator.

    In SI writing style, this may be written 40 Mm (40 megametres). An inch is defined as exactly 25.4 mm. Using scientific notation, this value can be uniformly expressed to any desired precision, from the nearest tenth of a millimeter 2.54 × 10 1 mm to the nearest nanometer 2.540 0000 × 10 1 mm, or beyond.

    A "3 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch" floppy disk's standard dimension is 90 mm, or 3.54 inches, and is advertised to hold "1.44 megabytes" although its capacity is 1,474,560 bytes (1,440 KB or 1.40625 MB). A "34-inch pipe" in the Nominal Pipe Size system has no dimensions that are exactly 0.75 inches.

    t. e. A translator or programming language processor is a computer program that converts the programming instructions written in human convenient form into machine language codes that the computers understand and process.

    In 2013, the islanders were discovered to have developed a novel binary system that allowed them to reduce the number of digits involved in binary counting: for example, representing 150 requires eight digits in binary (10010110) but only four in the Mangarevan system (VTPK, where V (varu) means 80, T (tataua) is 40, P (paua) is 20, and K ...

  8. Ternary numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_numeral_system

    A ternary / ˈtɜːrnəri / numeral system (also called base 3 or trinary) has three as its base. Analogous to a bit, a ternary digit is a trit ( tri nary dig it ). One trit is equivalent to log 2 3 (about 1.58496) bits of information . Although ternary most often refers to a system in which the three digits are all non–negative numbers ...

    It was 17 feet (5.2 m) in length, 7 feet 4 inches (2.24 m) tall, and weighed almost 1 long ton (1.0 t). The machine contained 550 valves (vacuum tubes)—300 diodes and 250 pentodes—and had a power consumption of 3500 watts. [31] The arithmetic unit was built using EF50 pentode valves, which had been widely used during wartime. [25]
