Words starting with mooreg
Maybe these words will be useful:
- moorer — (nautical, rare) The person who moors a vessel.
- moore bound — An upper limit on the number of nodes in a regular graph of degree d>2 and diameter k:
- moore graph — A graph which achieves the Moore bound. These are complete graphs, polygon graphs (regular graphs of degree 2) and three others: (nodes, degree, diameter) = (10,3,2), (50,7,2) and the possible but undiscovered (3250,57,2).
- moore — Archibald Lee ("Archie") 1913–1998, U.S. boxer.
- moore's law — (architecture) /morz law/ The observation, made in 1965 by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore while preparing a speech, that each new memory integrated circuit contained roughly twice as much capacity as its predecessor, and each chip was released within 18-24 months of the previous chip. If this trend continued, he reasoned, computing power would rise exponentially with time. Moore's observation still holds in 1997 and is the basis for many performance forecasts. In 24 years the number of transistors on processor chips has increased by a factor of almost 2400, from 2300 on the Intel 4004 in 1971 to 5.5 million on the Pentium Pro in 1995 (doubling roughly every two years).

In particular, microprocessor performance has increased faster than the number of transistors per chip. The number of MIPS has, on average, doubled every 1.8 years for the past 25 years, or every 1.6 years for the last 10 years. While more recent processors have had wider data paths, which would correspond to an increase in transistor count, their performance has also increased due to increased clock rates. Chip density in transistors per unit area has increased less quickly - a factor of only 146 between the 4004 (12 mm^2) and the Pentium Pro (196 mm^2) (doubling every 3.3 years). Feature size has decreased from 10 to 0.35 microns which would give over 800 times as many transistors per unit. However, the automatic layout required to cope with the increased complexity is less efficient than the hand layout used for early processors. See also Parkinson's Law of Data.
- moored — to secure (a ship, boat, dirigible, etc.) in a particular place, as by cables and anchors or by lines.
- moor myrtle — an aromatic shrub, Myrica gale, of marshes, having lance-shaped leaves and yellowish fruit.
- moorages — Plural form of moorage.
