  2. Softail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softail

    The first rear suspensions on motorcycles were introduced before World War I, and many companies offered fully suspended motorbikes before World War II, but most designs were either expensive, prone to wear and tear, or added more instability than comfort or better roadholding, especially when damping was insufficient.

  3. Pipeline stall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_stall

    In a standard five-stage pipeline, during the decoding stage, the control unit will determine whether the decoded instruction reads from a register to which the currently executed instruction writes. If this condition holds, the control unit will stall the instruction by one clock cycle.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_VT500

    1984 Honda VT500E. VT500 is a common name for the family of motorcycles sharing the Honda VT500 V-twin engine, with the cylinders set inline with the long-axis of the frame.. Launched at the Cologne motorcycle show in September 1982, it was produced with various designations for different countries, such as Ascot, Shadow and E

  5. Canned cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canned_cycle

    The syntax of a canned cycle may vary depending on the brand of the control. In general, the following "words" will be in a canned cycle "block". N= Block number; G98 or G99= Tool retract to R-plane or prior position; G73, G74, G76, G81-89= The function to perform, for example, G84 specifies a right-hand tapping cycle.

  6. Escapement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escapement

    The detent is a detached escapement; it allows the balance wheel to swing undisturbed during most of its cycle, except the brief impulse period, which is only given once per cycle (every other swing). [44] Because the driving escape wheel tooth moves almost parallel to the pallet, the escapement has little friction and does not need oiling.

  7. Instruction pipelining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_pipelining

    In computer engineering, instruction pipelining is a technique for implementing instruction-level parallelism within a single processor. Pipelining attempts to keep every part of the processor busy with some instruction by dividing incoming instructions into a series of sequential steps (the eponymous "pipeline") performed by different processor units with different parts of instructions ...

  8. Instructions per cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_cycle

    The number of instructions per second and floating point operations per second for a processor can be derived by multiplying the number of instructions per cycle with the clock rate (cycles per second given in Hertz) of the processor in question. The number of instructions per second is an approximate indicator of the likely performance of the ...

  9. Superscalar processor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superscalar_processor

    In contrast to a scalar processor, which can execute at most one single instruction per clock cycle, a superscalar processor can execute or start executing more than one instruction during a clock cycle by simultaneously dispatching multiple instructions to different execution units on the processor.
