Minification reduces the size of the source code, making its transmission over a network (e.g. the Internet) more efficient. In programmer culture, aiming at extremely minified source code is the purpose of recreational code golf competitions.
As performance is part of the specification of a program – a program that is unusably slow is not fit for purpose: a video game with 60 Hz (frames-per-second) is acceptable, but 6 frames-per-second is unacceptably choppy – performance is a consideration from the start, to ensure that the system is able to deliver sufficient performance, and ...
Minification may refer to: Magnification, by a factor of less than one, producing a smaller image; Minification (programming), a software coding technique; Minimisation (psychology), a form of cognitive distortion
With programming in the large, coding managers place emphasis on partitioning work into modules with precisely-specified interactions. This requires careful planning and documentation. With programming in the large, program changes can become difficult. [2] If a change operates across module boundaries, the work of many people may need re-doing.
In computing, a presentation program (also called presentation software) is a software package used to display information in the form of a slide show. It has three major functions: [1] an editor that allows text to be inserted and formatted; a method for inserting and manipulating graphic images and media clips; a slide-show system to display ...
Brainfuck is an esoteric programming language created in 1993 by Swiss student Urban Müller. [1] Designed to be extremely minimalistic, the language consists of only eight simple commands, a data pointer, and an instruction pointer.
Software distributors use executable compression for a variety of reasons, primarily to reduce the secondary storage requirements of their software; as executable compressors are specifically designed to compress executable code, they often achieve better compression ratio than standard data compression facilities such as gzip, zip or bzip2 [citation needed].
Separate from the stack definition of a MISC architecture, is the MISC architecture being defined by the number of instructions supported. Typically a minimal instruction set computer is viewed as having 32 or fewer instructions, [1] [2] [3] where NOP, RESET, and CPUID type instructions are usually not counted by consensus due to their fundamental nature.
