- 120 reset — (jargon) /wuhn-twen'tee ree'set/ (After 120 volts, US mains voltage) To cycle power on a computer in order to reset or unjam it. Compare Big Red Switch, power cycle.
- amd 29000 — (processor) A RISC microprocessor descended from the Berkley RISC design. Like the SPARC design that was introduced shortly afterward, the 29000 has a large register set split into local and global sets. But though it was introduced before the SPARC, it has a more elegant method of register management. The 29000 has 64 global registers, in comparison to the SPARC's eight. In addition, the 29000 allows variable sized windows allocated from the 128 register stack cache. The current window or stack frame is indicated by a stack pointer, a pointer to the caller's frame is stored in the current frame, like in an ordinary stack (directly supporting stack languages like C, a CISC-like philosophy). Spills and fills occur only at the ends of the cache, and registers are saved/loaded from the memory stack. This allows variable window sizes, from 1 to 128 registers. This flexibility, plus the large set of global registers, makes register allocation easier than in SPARC. There is no special condition code register - any general register is used instead, allowing several condition codes to be retained, though this sometimes makes code more complex. An instruction prefetch buffer (using burst mode) ensures a steady instruction stream. To reduce delays caused by a branch to another stream, the first four new instructions are cached and next time a cached branch (up to sixteen) is taken, the cache supplies instructions during the initial memory access delay. Registers aren't saved during interrupts, allowing the interrupt routine to determine whether the overhead is worthwhile. In addition, a form of register access control is provided. All registers can be protected, in blocks of 4, from access. These features make the 29000 useful for embedded applications, which is where most of these processors are used, allowing it the claim to be "the most popular RISC processor". The 29000 also includes an MMU and support for the AMD 29027 FPU.
- amd 29027 — (processor) The FPU for the AMD 29000.
- carbon 12 — the isotopic carbon atom that comprises 99 percent of naturally occurring carbon, and that since 1961 has been used as the standard for atomic weight by representing a unit of 12.00000.
- daisy 201 — An early system on G-15.
- dutch 200 — a score of 200 in a game, made by bowling strikes and spares alternately.
- earth 2.0 — a planet whose size and atmospheric conditions resemble those of the Earth
- iso 639-2 — language code
- itu x.209 — Basic Encoding Rules
- jpeg-2000 — (image, file format) A potential successor to JPEG with better compression and multiresolution images. JPEG-2000 gives reasonable quality down to 0.1 bits/pixel (JPEG quality drops dramatically below about 0.4 bits/pixel).
- loglan'82 — (language) A teaching language including all the programming tools used in object-oriented programming, modular programming, and structured programming as well as programming by rules and functional programming. Supported object-oriented programming features include classes, objects, coroutines, processes (in Loglan'82 processes are objects which are able to act in parallel), inheritance, exception handling, and dynamic arrays. Loglan'82 is apparently unrelated to Loglan. A cross-compiler to C is here.
- modula-2* — An extension of Modula-2 by M. Philippsen <[email protected]> of the University of Karlsruhe. It uses a superset of data parallelism, allowing both synchronous and asynchronous programs, both SIMD and MIMD. Parallelism may be nested to any depth. There are version for MasPar and a simulator for the SPARC.
- mpeg-2 mc — MPEG-2 Multi Channel Extention
- pentium 2 — Pentium II
- red no. 2 — an artificial red dye used in foods, drugs, and cosmetics: banned by the FDA in 1976 as a possible carcinogen.
- specint92 — (benchmark) A benchmark result derived from the results of a set of integer benchmarks from SPEC (geometric mean of the 6 SPEC ratios of CINT92) which can be used to estimate a machine's single-tasking performance on integer code. SPECint92 obsoletes SPECint89. See also SPECbase_int92.
- voyager 2 — a US spacecraft that visited Jupiter (1979) and Saturn (1981) and made the first flyby of Uranus (1986) and Neptune (1989)
- windows 2 — (operating system) The second version of Microsoft Windows, released in 1987. Windows 2 had considerably more features than Windows 1, such as overlapping windows and icons. When Windows/386 was released, Windows 2 was renamed Windows/286.
- year 2000 — (programming) (Y2K, or "millennium bug") A common name for all the difficulties the turn of the century, or dates in general, bring to computer users. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, the turn of the century looked so remote and memory/disk was so expensive that most programs stored only the last two digits of the year. These produce surprising results when dealing with dates after 1999. They may believe that 1 January 2000 is before 31 December 1999 (00<99), they may miscalculate the day of week, etc. Some programs used the year 99 as a special marker; there are rumours that some car insurance policies were cancelled because a year of 99 was used to mark deleted records. Complete testing of date-dependent code is virtually impossible, especially where the system under test relies on other systems such as customers' or suppliers' computers. Despite this, the predicted "millennium meltdown" never occurred. Various fixes and work-arounds were successfully applied, e.g. time shifting. And yes, the year 2000 was a leap year (multiples of 100 aren't leap years unless they're also multiples of 400).
