Such instructions were sometimes exploited in computer games of the 1970s and 1980s to speed up certain time-critical sections.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver

    Programmers can write higher-level application code independently of whatever specific hardware the end-user is using. For example, a high-level application for interacting with a serial port may simply have two functions for "send data" and "receive data". At a lower level, a device driver implementing these functions would communicate to the ...

    EPID is an enhancement of the Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA) algorithm. [6] DAA is a digital signature algorithm supporting anonymity. Unlike traditional digital signature algorithms, in which each entity has a unique public verification key and a unique private signature key, DAA provides a common group public verification key associated with many (typically millions) of unique private ...

    While the OLS point estimator remains unbiased, it is not "best" in the sense of having minimum mean square error, and the OLS variance estimator ^ [^] does not provide a consistent estimate of the variance of the OLS estimates.
