6-letter words containing 6

  • 1.tr.6 — (networking, protocol)   A control channel protocol for ISDN. It is a national standard in Germany but is being replaced by Euro-ISDN.
  • 16 bit — (architecture, programming)   Using words containing sixteen bits. This adjective often refers to the number of bits used internally by a computer's CPU. E.g. "The Intel 8086 is a sixteen bit processor". Its external data bus or address bus may be narrower. The term may also refer to the size of an instruction in the computer's instruction set or to any other item of data. See also 16-bit application.
  • 16550a — (hardware)   A version of the 16550 UART. Superseded by the 16650.
  • 16750c — (hardware)   A UART with a 64-byte FIFO. The 16C750 is a CMOS version.
  • 16c550 — 16550
  • 16c750 — 16750C
  • 16c850 — (hardware)   A version of the 16450 UART in CMOS with 128-byte FIFO.
  • 386bsd — (operating system)   (Or "jolix /joh'liks/) A free software port originally derived from the generally available parts of the "Berkeley Net Release/2" to the Intel i386 architecture by William Jolitz and friends. The name Jolix is used to differentiate it from BSDI's port based on the same source tape, which is called BSD/386. Many new and innovative features were added to 386BSD following its original release in June 1992. An unofficial patchkit, available from many anonymous FTP archives, solves many of the problems associated with 386BSD Version 0.1. In addition, many common Unix packages have been ported. 386BSD has been superseded by FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
  • 64-bit — (architecture)   A term describing a computer architecture based around an ALU, registers and data bus which are 64 bits wide. 64-bit processors were quite common in 1996, e.g. Digital Alpha, versions of Sun SPARC, MIPS, IBM AS/4000. the PowerPC and Intel were expected to move to 64 bits at their next generation - PPC 620 and Intel P7. A 64-bit address bus allows the processor to address 18 million gigabytes as opposed to the mere 4 gigabytes allowed with 32 bits. There were in 1996 already hard disks which can hold over 4GB. Floating point calculations can also be more accurate. A 64-bit OS is needed as well to take advantage of the CPU. In 1996 there were only a few 64-bit operating systems, including OS/400, Digital Unix, Solaris (partialy). A 32-bit OS can run on a 64-bit CPU.
  • 68hc11 — Motorola 68HC11
  • arm610 — (processor)   A 32-bit RISC microprocessor based on the ARM6 processor core designed by Advanced RISC Machines Ltd. The ARM610 is the successor to the ARM3 processor and is produced by VLSI Technology Inc. It consumes 500mW at 33MHz with a 5V supply.
  • bsd386 — 386BSD
  • emm386 — (software, storage)   An expanded memory manager for IBM PCs with an Intel 80386 or higher processor, part of MS-DOS version 5.00 or higher. EMM386 uses extended memory to simulate expanded memory and also provides upper memory blocks. It must be loaded by a DEVICE= command in your CONFIG.SYS file.
  • ge-645 — (computer)   A computer built by General Electric, the successor to the GE-635, designed to provide the extra CPU features required by the Multics project. The GE-645 was designed in 1965 by John Couleur and Edward Glaser at MIT. It had several security levels and instructions for handling virtual memory. Addressing used an 18-bit segment in addition to the 18-bit address, dramatically increasing the theoretical memory size and making virtual memory easier to support. Design of the GE-645's successor, the GE-655, started in 1967.
  • hd6309 — Hitachi 6309
  • mc6809 — Motorola 6809
  • mcg360 — Interactive, similar to PAL[5], for IBM 360. "McG360 Programmer's Guide", RC 2693, IBM TJWRC, Nov 1969.
  • rs6000 — RISC System/6000
  • ru-486 — mifepristone.
  • st-506 — (storage)   The first full-height 5.25 inch hard disk drive for personal computers, introduced in 1980 by Shugart Technology (now Seagate Technology). The ST-506 stored up to 5 megabtyes after formatting using MFM encoding. It transferred data at 625 kilobytes per second. The ST-506 (like the ST-412) was interfaced to a computer via a disk controller. The interface was a faster version of the Shugart Associates SA1000 interface, which was in turn based upon the floppy disk drive interface. Two cables connected the controller to the disk. The 34-pin control cable controlled mechanical motion and data was read or written serially using two pins of the 20-pin data cable. Other companies copied the interface, creating a universal de facto standard that was further strengthened by its revision to support Seagate's 10 MB ST-412 drive that was adopted for the IBM PC XT. Around 1990, SCSI and ATA superseded ST-506. These eliminated the problems of matching controllers to drives by physically integrating a controller with the drive, allowing interleave ratios and other disk parameters to be optimised by the manufacturer rather than the system integrator.
