  2. Buddy memory allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_memory_allocation

    However, there still exists the problem of internal fragmentation – memory wasted because the memory requested is a little larger than a small block, but a lot smaller than a large block. Because of the way the buddy memory allocation technique works, a program that requests 66 K of memory would be allocated 128 K, which results in a waste of ...

  3. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Numeric literals in Python are of the normal sort, e.g. 0, -1, 3.4, 3.5e-8. Python has arbitrary-length integers and automatically increases their storage size as necessary. Prior to Python 3, there were two kinds of integral numbers: traditional fixed size integers and "long" integers of arbitrary size.

  4. Unit Control Block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_Control_Block

    In IBM mainframe operating systems OS/360 and its successors, a Unit Control Block (UCB) is a memory structure, or a control block, that describes any single input/output peripheral device (unit), or an exposure (alias), to the operating system.

  5. MicroPython - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroPython

    MicroPython adopts Python's code block style, with code specific to a particular function, condition or loop being indented. [17] This differs from most other languages which typically use symbols or keywords to delimit blocks. [17] This assists with the readability of MicroPython code as the visual structure mirrors the semantic structure.

  6. Block (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_(programming)

    In computer programming, a block or code block or block of code is a lexical structure of source code which is grouped together. Blocks consist of one or more declarations and statements . A programming language that permits the creation of blocks, including blocks nested within other blocks, is called a block-structured programming language .

  7. Memory controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_controller

    A memory controller, also known as memory chip controller (MCC) or a memory controller unit (MCU), is a digital circuit that manages the flow of data going to and from a computer's main memory. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] When a memory controller is integrated into another chip, such as an integral part of a microprocessor , it is usually called an integrated ...

  8. Memory address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_address

    The memory controller manages access to memory using the memory bus or a system bus, or through separate control, address, and data buses, to execute the program's commands. The bus managed by the memory controller consists of multiple parallel lines, each representing a binary digit (bit).

  9. Control-flow graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-flow_graph

    Some CFG examples: (a) an if-then-else (b) a while loop (c) a natural loop with two exits, e.g. while with an if...break in the middle; non-structured but reducible (d) an irreducible CFG: a loop with two entry points, e.g. goto into a while or for loop A control-flow graph used by the Rust compiler to perform codegen.
