12-letter words that end in ode
- aeolian mode — an authentic church mode represented on the white keys of a keyboard instrument by an ascending scale from A to A.
- airport code — a three-letter abbreviation of the names of the world's major airports, used especially as an identifier for routing baggage.
- baklava code — (humour, programming) Code with too many layers. Also known as Lasagne Code.
- catalog code — the principles, rules, and regulations for entering and describing books or other library material in a catalog.
- cold cathode — a cathode from which electrons are emitted at ambient temperature, due to a high potential gradient at the surface
- control code — (character) A character code for a control character, normally including the values 0..31 or 127, inherited from ASCII, possibly extended to include other characters by the operating system or application program.
- country code — a code of good practice recommended to those who use the countryside for recreational purposes
- ethical code — an ethical code is a set of moral principles used to govern the conduct of a profession
- genetic code — the biochemical instructions that translate the genetic information present as a linear sequence of nucleotide triplets in messenger RNA into the correct linear sequence of amino acids for the synthesis of a particular peptide chain or protein. Compare codon, translation (def 9).
- hamming code — (algorithm) Extra, redundant bits added to stored or transmitted data for the purposes of error detection and correction. Named after the mathematician Richard Hamming, Hamming codes greatly improve the reliability of data, e.g. from distant space probes, where it is impractical, because of the long transmission delay, to correct errors by requesting retransmission.
- highway code — In Britain, the Highway Code is an official book published by the Department of Transport, which contains the rules which tell people how to use public roads safely.
- horatian ode — an ode consisting of several stanzas all of the same form.
- huffman code — Huffman coding
- initial code — a system used in the U.S. to facilitate the delivery of mail, consisting of a five- or nine-digit code printed directly after the address, the first five digits (initial code) indicating the state and post office or postal zone, the last four (expanded code) the box section or number, portion of a rural route, building, or other specific delivery location.
- machine code — (language) The representation of a computer program that is read and interpreted by the computer hardware (rather than by some other machine code program). A program in machine code consists of a sequence of "instructions" (possibly interspersed with data). An instruction is a binary string, (often written as one or more octal, decimal or hexadecimal numbers). Instructions may be all the same size (e.g. one 32-bit word for many modern RISC microprocessors) or of different sizes, in which case the size of the instruction is determined from the first word (e.g. Motorola 68000) or byte (e.g. Inmos transputer). The collection of all possible instructions for a particular computer is known as its "instruction set". Each instruction typically causes the Central Processing Unit to perform some fairly simple operation like loading a value from memory into a register or adding the numbers in two registers. An instruction consists of an op code and zero or more operands. Different processors have different instruction sets - the collection of possible operations they can perform. Execution of machine code may either be hard-wired into the central processing unit or it may be controlled by microcode. The basic execution cycle consists of fetching the next instruction from main memory, decoding it (determining which action the operation code specifies and the location of any arguments) and executing it by opening various gates (e.g. to allow data to flow from main memory into a CPU register) and enabling functional units (e.g. signalling to the ALU to perform an addition). Humans almost never write programs directly in machine code. Instead, they use programming languages. The simplest kind of programming language is assembly language which usually has a one-to-one correspondence with the resulting machine code instructions but allows the use of mnemonics (ASCII strings) for the "op codes" (the part of the instruction which encodes the basic type of operation to perform) and names for locations in the program (branch labels) and for variables and constants. Other languages are either translated by a compiler into machine code or executed by an interpreter
- managed code — (operating system) Code that is executed by the .NET common language runtime (CLR). VB.NET code is always managed code but C++ .NET can optionally use unmanaged code. Managed code provides metadata allowing the CLR to manage security (role-based as well as new approaches to code access security). The CLR also handles errors, manages the program stack and finds methods in assembly modules. Managed data is memory that's subject to garbage collection. There are additional restrictions to permit interoperability of different languages, for example, Visual Basic arrays must be zero-based.
- network node — (networking) (node) An addressable device attached to a computer network. If the node is a computer it is more often called a "host".
- organic mode — (programming) A term used by COCOMO to describe a project that is developed in a familiar, stable environment. The product is similar to previously developed products. Most people connected with the project have extensive experience in working with related systems and have a thorough understanding of the project. The project contains a minimum of innovative data processing architectures or algorithms. The product requires little innovation and is relatively small, rarely greater than 50,000 DSIs.
- photocathode — a cathode, typically of a cesium or sodium compound, having the property of emitting electrons when activated by light or other radiation.
- pindaric ode — an ode consisting of several units, each of which is composed of a strophe and an antistrophe of identical form followed by a contrasting epode.
- ravioli code — (jargon, humour) Object-oriented code consisting of a number of small and loosely-coupled software components. Presumably, the term is a compliment, contrasting the code with spaghetti code.
- sausage code — (humour, programming) Code which, once you know the details of how it's made, you'll never want to use again.
- sorting code — a sequence of numbers printed on a cheque or embossed on a bank or building-society card that identifies the branch holding the account
- tunnel diode — an extremely stable semiconductor diode, having a very narrow highly doped p-n junction, in which electrons travel across the junction by means of the tunnel effect
