14-letter words containing proce
- benday process — a process for adding tone or shading, as in reproducing drawings, by the overlay on the plate of patterns, as of dots
- c preprocessor — (tool, programming) (cpp) The standard Unix macro-expansion utility run as the first phase of the C compiler, cc. Cpp interprets lines beginning with "#" such as #define BUFFER_SIZE 256 as a textual assignment giving the symbol BUFFER_SIZE a value "256". Symbols defined with cpp are traditionally given upper case names to distinguish them from C identifiers. This symbol can be used later in the input, as in char input_buffer[BUFFER_SIZE]; This use of cpp to name constants, rather than writing these magic numbers inline, makes a program easier to read and maintain, especially if there is more than one occurrence of BUFFER_SIZE all of which must all have the same value. Cpp macros can have parameters: #define BIT(n) (1<<(n)) This can be used with any appropriate actual argument: msb = BIT(nbits-1); Note the parentheses around the "n" in the definition of BIT. Without these, operator precedence might mean that the expression substituted in place of n might not be interpreted correctly (though the example above would be OK). Cpp also supports conditional compilation with the use of #ifdef SYMBOL ... #else ... #endif and #if EXPR ... #else ... #endif constructs, where SYMBOL is a Cpp symbol which may or may not be defined and EXPR is an arithmetic expression involving only Cpp symbols, constants and C operators which Cpp can evaluate to a constant at compile time. The most widely used C preprocessor today is the GNU CPP, distributed as part of GCC.
- carbon process — a photographic process for producing positive prints by exposing sensitized carbon tissue to light passing through a negative. Washing removes the unexposed gelatine leaving the pigmented image in the exposed insoluble gelatine
- carbro process — a process for making carbon or pigment prints on bromide paper without exposure to light.
- data processor — a computer that is capable of performing operations on data in order to extract information, reorder files, etc
- duplex process — any of several methods for making steel in which the process is begun in one furnace and finished in another.
- food processor — an electric appliance with interchangeable blades within a closed container into which food is inserted for slicing, shredding, mincing, chopping, puréeing, or otherwise processing at high speeds.
- frasch process — a method of mining sulfur by pumping superheated water down into the deposit, thereby melting it so that it can be pumped to the surface.
- in the process — If you are doing something and you do something else in the process, you do the second thing as part of doing the first thing.
- markov process — a process in which future values of a random variable are statistically determined by present events and dependent only on the event immediately preceding.
- microprocessor — an integrated computer circuit that performs all the functions of a CPU.
- multiprocessor — parallel processing
- orphan process — (operating system) A Unix process whose original parent has terminated and which has become a child of "init(1)". Compare zombie.
- parent process — (operating system) The Unix process that created one or more other processes. Every process except process 0 is created when another process executes the fork system call. The process that invoked fork is the parent process, and the newly created process is the child process. Every process has one parent process, but can have many child processes. The kernel identifies each process by its process identifier (PID). Process 0 is a special process that is created when the system boots; after forking a child process (process 1), process 0 becomes the swapper process. Process 1, known as init, is the ancestor of every other process in the system and enjoys a special relationship with them.
- planar process — a method of producing diffused junctions in semiconductor devices. A pattern of holes is etched into an oxide layer formed on a silicon substrate, into which impurities are diffused through the holes
- proceleusmatic — inciting, animating, or inspiring.
- process camera — a large camera used in the photographic processes involved in the printing industry
- process cheese — a cheese made by heating and blending together several natural cheeses with an emulsifying agent
- process colour — any of the four colours (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) used in process printing
- process server — a person who serves legal documents, as subpoenas, writs, or warrants, especially those requiring appearance in court.
- process-server — a person who serves legal documents, as subpoenas, writs, or warrants, especially those requiring appearance in court.
- processability — capable of being processed.
- processed peas — peas that have been treated or prepared by a special method, esp in order to preserve them
- processing tax — a tax levied by the government at an intermediate stage in the production of goods.
- processor farm — (computer, parallel) A parallel processor where tasks are distributed, or "farmed out", by one "farmer" processor to several "worker" processors, and results are sent back to the farmer. This arrangement is suitable for applications which can be partitioned into many separate, independent tasks, the canonical examples being ray tracing and the Mandelbrot set. In order to be efficient, the extra time spent on communications must be small compared to the time spent processing each task.
- processor time — (software) The amount of time a process takes to run, given that it has exclusive and uninterrupted use of the CPU. Note that in a modern computer, this would be very unusual, and so the processor time calculation for most processes involves adding up all the small amounts of time the CPU actually spends on the process. Some systems break processor time down into user time and system time. Compare wall clock time.
- screen process — a method of printing using a fine mesh of silk, nylon, etc, treated with an impermeable coating except in the areas through which ink is subsequently forced onto the paper behind
- social process — the means by which culture and social organization change or are preserved.
- solvay process — a process for manufacturing sodium carbonate whereby a concentrated solution of sodium chloride is saturated with ammonia, carbon dioxide is passed through it, and the product is calcined.
- teleprocessing — computerized processing and transmission of data over the telephone or other long-distance communications systems.
- word processor — a computer program or computer system designed for word processing.
