  2. Program counter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_counter

    The program counter (PC), [1] commonly called the instruction pointer (IP) in Intel x86 and Itanium microprocessors, and sometimes called the instruction address register (IAR), [2] [1] the instruction counter, [3] or just part of the instruction sequencer, [4] is a processor register that indicates where a computer is in its program sequence.

  3. Instruction cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_cycle

    The program counter (PC) is a register that holds the memory address of the next instruction to be executed. After each instruction copy to the memory address register (MAR), the PC can either increment the pointer to the next sequential instruction, jump to a specified pointer, or branch conditionally to a specified pointer. [2]

  4. M/M/1 queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/M/1_queue

    An M/M/1 queueing node. In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, an M/M/1 queue represents the queue length in a system having a single server, where arrivals are determined by a Poisson process and job service times have an exponential distribution.

  5. State diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_diagram

    A state diagram for a door that can only be opened and closed. A state diagram is used in computer science and related fields to describe the behavior of systems. State diagrams require that the system is composed of a finite number of states.

  6. Linear-feedback shift register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-feedback_shift_register

    In the diagram the taps are [16,14,13,11]. The rightmost bit of the LFSR is called the output bit, which is always also a tap. To obtain the next state, the tap bits are XOR-ed sequentially; then, all bits are shifted one place to the right, with the rightmost bit being discarded, and that result of XOR-ing the tap bits is fed back into the now ...

  7. State-transition table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-transition_table

    For each of the states, scan across the corresponding row and draw an arrow to the destination state(s). There can be multiple arrows for an input character if the finite-state machine is nondeterministic. Designate a state as the start state. The start state is given in the formal definition of a finite-state machine.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_visualization

    The Mandelbrot set, one of the most famous examples of mathematical visualization.. Mathematical phenomena can be understood and explored via visualization.Classically, this consisted of two-dimensional drawings or building three-dimensional models (particularly plaster models in the 19th and early 20th century).
