  2. Duff's device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff's_device

    Duff realized that to handle cases where count is not divisible by eight, the assembly programmer's technique of jumping into the loop body could be implemented by interlacing the structures of a switch statement and a loop, putting the switch's case labels at the points of the loop body that correspond to the remainder of count/8: [1]

  3. Loop unrolling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_unrolling

    Loop unrolling, also known as loop unwinding, is a loop transformation technique that attempts to optimize a program's execution speed at the expense of its binary size, which is an approach known as space–time tradeoff.

  4. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    Switch statements function somewhat similarly to the if statement used in programming languages like C/C++, C#, Visual Basic .NET, Java and exist in most high-level imperative programming languages such as Pascal, Ada, C/C++, C#, [1]: 374–375 Visual Basic .NET, Java, [2]: 157–167 and in many other types of language, using such keywords as ...

  5. Infinite loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop

    In computer programming, an infinite loop (or endless loop) [1] [2] is a sequence of instructions that, as written, will continue endlessly, unless an external intervention occurs, such as turning off power via a switch or pulling a plug.

  6. Race condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition

    When the input value A changes from low to high, the circuit outputs a short spike of duration (∆t 1 + ∆t 2) − ∆t 2 = ∆t 1. A race condition or race hazard occurs in electronics , software , or other system when the system's behavior depends on the timing or order of uncontrollable events, leading to unpredictable outcomes.

  7. Ternary conditional operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_conditional_operator

    The detailed semantics of "the" ternary operator as well as its syntax differs significantly from language to language. A top level distinction from one language to another is whether the expressions permit side effects (as in most procedural languages) and whether the language provides short-circuit evaluation semantics, whereby only the selected expression is evaluated (most standard ...

  8. FIFO (computing and electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFO_(computing_and...

    Representation of a FIFO queue. In computing and in systems theory, first in, first out (the first in is the first out), acronymized as FIFO, is a method for organizing the manipulation of a data structure (often, specifically a data buffer) where the oldest (first) entry, or "head" of the queue, is processed first.

  9. High-level synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_synthesis

    High-level synthesis (HLS), sometimes referred to as C synthesis, electronic system-level (ESL) synthesis, algorithmic synthesis, or behavioral synthesis, is an automated design process that takes an abstract behavioral specification of a digital system and finds a register-transfer level structure that realizes the given behavior.
