- cluster 86 — (language) A distributed object-oriented language by L. Shang <[email protected]> of Nanjing University, ca. 1986. A cluster is a metatype. There are versions for MS-DOS and Unix.
- cyrix 6x86 — (processor) (6x86) IBM and Cyrix's sixth-generation, 64-bit 80x86-compatible microprocessor. The 6x86 combines aspects of both RISC and CISC. It has a superscalar, superpipelined core, and performs register renaming, speculative execution, out-of-order completion, and data dependency removal. It has a 16-kilobyte primary cache and is socket-compatible with the Pentium P54C. It has four performance levels: PR 120+, PR 150+, PR 166+ and PR 200+. The chip was designed by Cyrix and is manufactured by IBM. The architecture of the 6x86 is more advanced than that of the Pentium, incorporating some of the features of Intel's Pentium Pro. At a given clock rate it executes most code more quickly than a Pentium would. However, its FPU is considerably less efficient than Intel's.
- dream 6800 — (computer) A computer based on the Motorola 6800 microprocessor. The DREAM 6800 could be programmed in CHIP-8.
- ieee 802.1 — (networking, standard) An IEEE working group concerned with the IEEE 802 family of networking standards, specifically bridging and network management. The spanning tree protocol is standardised as 802.1D.
- ieee 802.2 — (Networks) The IEEE standard defining Logical Link Control (LLC, the upper portion of the data link layer) for local area networks.
- ieee 802.3 — (networking) The IEEE standard defining the hardware layer and transport layer of (a varient of) Ethernet. The maximum segment length is 500m and the maximum total length is 2.5km. The maximum number of hosts is 1024. The maximum packet size is 1518 bytes. If the upper layer protocol submits a PDU less than 64 bytes, 802.3 will pad the LLC Info field to achieve the minimum 64 bytes. Although it is not technically correct, the terms "packet" and frame are used interchangeably. The ISO/IEC 8802-3 ANSI/IEEE 802.3 Standards refer to MAC sub-layer frames consisting of the Destination Address, Source Address, Length, LLC Info., and FCS fields. The Preamble and SFD are (usually) considered a header to the MAC Frame. This header plus the MAC Frame constitute a "Packet".
- ieee 802.4 — (networking, standard) The IEEE Token Bus standard.
- ieee 802.5 — The IEEE token ring standard. The most common type of token ring.
- intel 8008 — (processor) A microprocessor intended for use as a terminal controller, and similar to the Intel 4040. The 8008 had a 14-bit PC and addressing and an eight level internal stack. It was followed by the Intel 8080.
- intel 8048 — (processor) The microcontroller used in IBM PC keyboards. The 8048 was inspired by, and similar to, the Fairchild F8 microprocessor but, being a microcontroller, was designed for low cost and small size. The 8048 has a modified Harvard architecture, with program ROM on chip and 64 to 256 bytes of RAM also on chip. I/O is mapped in its own address space. Though the 8048 was eventually replaced by the very popular but bizarre Intel 8051 and Intel 8052, even in 2000 it is still very popular due to its low cost, wide availability, and development tools.
- intel 8051 — (processor) A microcontroller developed by Intel in 1980 for use in embedded products and still (1999) one of the most popular microcontrollers. The 8051/8031 cores are used in over 100 devices from 10 independent manufacturers such as Dallas and Philips. See also CAS 8051 Assembler, as31 assembler, 51forth.
- intel 8080 — (processor) The successor to the Intel 8008. The 8080 had a 16-bit address bus and an 8-bit data bus. It had seven 8-bit registers (six which could also be combined as three 16-bit registers), a 16-bit stack pointer to memory which replaced the 8008's internal stack and a 16-bit program counter. It also had 256 I/O ports (so I/O devices could be connected without needing to allocate any addressing space as is required for memory mapped devices) and a signal pin that allowed the stack to occupy a separate bank of memory. Shortly after the 8080, the Motorola 6800 was introduced.
- intel 8085 — (processor) A microprocessor intended to be an improved Intel 8080, as was the Zilog Z80.
- intel 8086 — (processor) A sixteen bit microprocessor chip used in early IBM PCs. The Intel 8088 was a version with an eight-bit external data bus. The Intel 8086 was based on the design of the Intel 8080 and Intel 8085 (it was source compatible with the 8080) with a similar register set, but was expanded to 16 bits. The Bus Interface Unit fed the instruction stream to the Execution Unit through a 6 byte prefetch queue, so fetch and execution were concurrent - a primitive form of pipelining (8086 instructions varied from 1 to 4 bytes). It featured four 16-bit general registers, which could also be accessed as eight 8-bit registers, and four 16-bit index registers (including the stack pointer). The data registers were often used implicitly by instructions, complicating register allocation for temporary values. It featured 64K 8-bit I/O (or 32K 16 bit) ports and fixed vectored interrupts. There were also four segment registers that could be set from index registers. The segment registers allowed the CPU to access 1 meg of memory in an odd way. Rather than just supplying missing bytes, as most segmented processors, the 8086 actually shifted the segment registers left 4 bits and added it to the address. As a result, segments overlapped, and it was possible to have two pointers with the same value point to two different memory locations, or two pointers with different values pointing to the same location. Most people consider this a brain damaged design. Although this was largely acceptable for assembly language, where control of the segments was complete (it could even be useful then), in higher level languages it caused constant confusion (e.g. near/far pointers). Even worse, this made expanding the address space to more than 1 meg difficult. A later version, the Intel 80386, expanded the design to 32 bits, and "fixed" the segmentation, but required extra modes (suppressing the new features) for compatibility, and retains the awkward architecture. In fact, with the right assembler, code written for the 8008 can still be run on the most recent Intel 486. The Intel 80386 added new op codes in a kludgy fashion similar to the Zilog Z80 and Zilog Z280. The Intel 486 added full pipelines, and clock doubling (like the Zilog Z280). So why did IBM chose the 8086 series when most of the alternatives were so much better? Apparently IBM's own engineers wanted to use the Motorola 68000, and it was used later in the forgotten IBM Instruments 9000 Laboratory Computer, but IBM already had rights to manufacture the 8086, in exchange for giving Intel the rights to its bubble memory designs. Apparently IBM was using 8086s in the IBM Displaywriter word processor. Other factors were the 8-bit Intel 8088 version, which could use existing Intel 8085-type components, and allowed the computer to be based on a modified 8085 design. 68000 components were not widely available, though it could use Motorola 6800 components to an extent.
- intel 8088 — (processor) An Intel 8086 with 16-bit registers and an 8-bit data bus. The 8088 was the processor used in the original IBM PC.
- intel 8751 — (processor) A microcontroller from Intel including a CPU, two timers. 128 bytes of RAM, 4 kBytes of EEPROM, four eight-bit biderectional I/O ports and an EIA-232 port. The 8751 belongs to the Intel i51 Microcontroller family. It was designed by Intel but is now manufactured by Intel, Philips, Siemens, AMD and others. Motorola's microcontroller families (68HC05, 68HC08 and 68HC11) are meant to compete with the i51 family.

- specmark89 — (benchmark) An old SPECmark benchmark result derived from a set of floating-point and integer benchmarks. It is the geometric mean of ten SPEC ratios of the outdated 1989 SPEC benchmark suite. The use of SPECmark89 is strongly discouraged, having been superseded by CINT92 and CFP92.
- windows 98 — (operating system) Microsoft's 1998 update to Windows 95 that adds: * Hardware support for Universal Serial Bus (USB). * Internet Connection Sharing (IGC) - multiple PCs share a single connection to the Internet. * Microsoft WebTV for Windows - watch TV on your PC. * Support for new graphic, sound, and multimedia formats. * Internet Explorer release 5. * Windows 98 Service Pack - year 2000 updates. Windows 98 was followed logically by Windows ME but chronologically by Windows 2000 Professional Edition.
- zilog z280 — An enhanced version of the Zilog Z80 with a 16 bit architecture, introduced in July, 1987. It added an MMU to expand addressing to 16Mb, features for multitasking, a 256 byte cache, and a huge number of new op codes (giving a total of over 2000!). Its internal clock runs at 2 or 4 times the external clock (e.g. a 16MHz CPU with a 4MHz bus).
- zilog z80a — (processor) A version of the Zilog Z80 microprocessor with a 4 MHz clock rate.
