The high point of the vent system (the top of its "soil stack") must be open to the exterior at atmospheric pressure. On large systems, separate parallel vent stacks may also be run to ensure sufficient airflow, because the number of devices linked to an atmospheric vent, and their distances from it, are regulated by plumbing code.
About 1/8 wavelength long: (left) 200 MHz stub is 19 cm, (right) 300 MHz stub is 12.5 cm 10 kW FM broadcast transmitter from 1947 showing quarter-wave resonant stub plate tank circuit. In microwave and radio-frequency engineering, a stub or resonant stub is a length of transmission line or waveguide that is connected at one end only. The free ...
Newer processors contain a dedicated stack engine to optimize stack operations. Pentium M was the first x86 processor to introduce a stack engine. In its implementation, the stack pointer is split among two registers: ESP O , which is a 32-bit register, and ESP d , an 8-bit delta value that is updated directly by stack operations.
Arguments assigned to the stack are pushed from right to left. Names are mangled by adding a suffixed underscore. Variadic functions fall back to the Watcom stack based calling convention. The Watcom C/C++ compiler also uses the #pragma aux [20] directive that allows the user to specify their own calling convention. As its manual states, "Very ...
The stack is often used to store variables of fixed length local to the currently active functions. Programmers may further choose to explicitly use the stack to store local data of variable length. If a region of memory lies on the thread's stack, that memory is said to have been allocated on the stack, i.e. stack-based memory allocation (SBMA).
The Assault Amphibious Vehicle [2] [3] (AAV)—official designation AAVP-7A1 (formerly known as Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Personnel-7 abbr. LVTP-7)—is a fully tracked amphibious landing vehicle manufactured by U.S. Combat Systems (previously by United Defense, a former division of FMC Corporation).
In computing, the red zone is a fixed-size area in a function's stack frame below (for a push-down stack) the current stack pointer that is reserved and safe to use. It is most commonly used in leaf functions (functions that don't call other functions) for allocating additional stack memory, without moving the stack pointer, which saves an instruction.
In computing, a stack trace (also called stack backtrace [1] or stack traceback [2]) is a report of the active stack frames at a certain point in time during the execution of a program. When a program is run, memory is often dynamically allocated in two places: the stack and the heap .
