  2. Logical block addressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_block_addressing

    In logical block addressing, only one number is used to address data, and each linear base address describes a single block. The LBA scheme replaces earlier schemes which exposed the physical details of the storage device to the software of the operating system. Chief among these was the cylinder-head-sector (CHS) scheme, where blocks were addressed by means

  3. GUID Partition Table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

    The GUID Partition Table is specified in chapter 5 of the UEFI 2.8 specification. [2] GPT uses 64 bits for logical block addresses, allowing a maximum disk size of 2 64 sectors. For disks with 512‑byte sectors, the maximum size is 8 ZiB (2 64 × 512‑bytes) or 9.44 ZB (9.44 × 10²¹ bytes). [1] For disks with 4,096‑byte sectors the ...

  4. Carry-lookahead adder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry-lookahead_adder

    A block diagram of a 4-bit carry lookahead adder. For each bit in a binary sequence to be added, the carry-lookahead logic will determine whether that bit pair will generate a carry or propagate a carry. This allows the circuit to "pre-process" the two numbers being added to determine the carry ahead of time.

  5. Logic block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_block

    In general, a logic block consists of a few logic cells (each cell is called an adaptive logic module (ALM), a logic element (LE), slice, etc.). A typical cell consists of a 4-input LUT, a full adder (FA), and a D-type flip-flop (DFF), as shown to the right. The LUTs are in this figure split into two 3-input LUTs.

  7. Instruction set architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_set_architecture

    Machine code. In computer science, an instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model that generally defines how software controls the CPU in a computer or a family of computers. [1] A device or program that executes instructions described by that ISA, such as a central processing unit (CPU), is called an implementation of that ISA.

  8. Extended boot record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record

    Extended boot record. An extended boot record (EBR), [1] or extended partition boot record (EPBR), [note 1] is a descriptor for a logical partition under the common DOS disk drive partitioning system. In that system, when one (and only one) partition record entry in the master boot record (MBR) is designated an extended partition, then that ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logic_symbols

    In logic, a set of symbols is commonly used to express logical representation. The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics.
