  2. Memory Reference Code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_Reference_Code

    The MRC is part of reference BIOS code, which relates to memory initialization in the BIOS. It includes information about memory settings, frequency, timing, driving and detailed operations of the memory controller. The MRC is written in a C-language code, which can be edited and compiled by board makers. It provides a space to develop advanced ...

    Allocate space from the local memory pool. Base instruction 0xC6 mkrefany <class> Push a typed reference to ptr of type class onto the stack. Object model instruction 0x5A mul: Multiply values. Base instruction 0xD8 mul.ovf: Multiply signed integer values. Signed result shall fit in same size. Base instruction 0xD9 mul.ovf.un: Multiply unsigned ...

  4. Locality of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locality_of_reference

    Data locality is a typical memory reference feature of regular programs (though many irregular memory access patterns exist). It makes the hierarchical memory layout profitable. In computers, memory is divided into a hierarchy in order to speed up data accesses. The lower levels of the memory hierarchy tend to be slower, but larger.

  5. Reference (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_(computer_science)

    In computer programming, a reference is a value that enables a program to indirectly access a particular datum, such as a variable's value or a record, in the computer's memory or in some other storage device. The reference is said to refer to the datum, and accessing the datum is called dereferencing the reference. A reference is distinct from ...

  6. Dangling pointer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_pointer

    If the program writes to memory referenced by a dangling pointer, a silent corruption of unrelated data may result, leading to subtle bugs that can be extremely difficult to find. If the memory has been reallocated to another process, then attempting to dereference the dangling pointer can cause segmentation faults (UNIX, Linux) or general ...

  7. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    It is also said that a pointer points to a datum [in memory] when the pointer's value is the datum's memory address. More generally, a pointer is a kind of reference, and it is said that a pointer references a datum stored somewhere in memory; to obtain that datum is to dereference the pointer. The feature that separates pointers from other ...

  8. Memory address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_address

    These instructions tell the CPU to interact with a hardware component called the memory controller. The memory controller manages access to memory using the memory bus or a system bus, or through separate control, address, and data buses, to execute the program's commands. The bus managed by the memory controller consists of multiple parallel ...

  9. Low-level programming language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-level_programming_language

    Machine code is the form in which code that can be directly executed is stored on a computer. It consists of machine language instructions, stored in memory, that perform operations such as moving values in and out of memory locations, arithmetic and Boolean logic, and testing values and, based on the test, either executing the next instruction in memory or executing an instruction at another ...
