  2. Accumulator (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accumulator_(computing)

    In a computer's central processing unit (CPU), the accumulator is a register in which intermediate arithmetic logic unit results are stored.. Without a register like an accumulator, it would be necessary to write the result of each calculation (addition, multiplication, shift, etc.) to cache or main memory, perhaps only to be read right back again for use in the next operation.

  3. Arithmetic logic unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_logic_unit

    The first computer to have multiple parallel discrete single-bit ALU circuits was the 1951 Whirlwind I, which employed sixteen such "math units" to enable it to operate on 16-bit words. In 1967, Fairchild introduced the first ALU-like device implemented as an integrated circuit, the Fairchild 3800, consisting of an eight-bit arithmetic unit ...

  4. Multiply–accumulate operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiply–accumulate...

    The hardware unit that performs the operation is known as a multiplier–accumulator (MAC unit); the operation itself is also often called a MAC or a MAD operation. The MAC operation modifies an accumulator a : a ← a + ( b × c ) {\displaystyle a\gets a+(b\times c)}

    Accumulator (computing), in a CPU, a processor register for storing intermediate results; Accumulator (computer vision), discrete cell structure to count votes, standard component of the Hough transform; Accumulator (cryptography), a value, determined by a set of values, that allows one to verify if any one of the original values is a member of ...

    Subsurface scattering is an indirect form of reflection where some of the light is transmitted into a semi-transparent material, scattered under the surface and bounced back out again.

    The accumulator can be viewed as a truncated rate 1 recursive convolutional encoder with transfer function / (+), but Divsalar et al. prefer to think of it as a block code whose input block (, …,) and output block (, …,) are related by the formula = and = + for >.

  8. Fold (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)

    Folds can be regarded as consistently replacing the structural components of a data structure with functions and values. Lists, for example, are built up in many functional languages from two primitives: any list is either an empty list, commonly called nil ([]), or is constructed by prefixing an element in front of another list, creating what is called a cons node ( Cons(X1,Cons(X2,Cons ...
