Computer clustering capability with failover capability, for complete redundancy of hardware and software. Dynamic software updating to avoid the need to reboot the system for a kernel software update, for example Ksplice under Linux. Independent management processor for serviceability: remote monitoring, alerting and control.
The storage of computer programs is key to the operation of modern computers and is the connection between computer hardware and software. [7] Even prior to this, in the mid-19th century mathematician George Boole invented Boolean algebra —a system of logic where each proposition is either true or false.
A software system is a system of intercommunicating components based on software forming part of a computer system (a combination of hardware and software). It "consists of a number of separate programs, configuration files, which are used to set up these programs, system documentation, which describes the structure of the system, and user documentation, which explains how to use the system".
Gates's law ("The speed of software halves every 18 months" [9]) is an anonymously coined variant on Wirth's law, its name referencing Bill Gates, [9] co-founder of Microsoft. It is an observation that the speed of commercial software generally slows by 50% every 18 months, thereby negating all the benefits of Moore's law.
Copylefted software is free software whose distribution terms ensure that all copies of all versions carry more or less the same distribution terms. This means, for instance, that copyleft licenses generally disallow others to add additional requirements to the software (though a limited set of safe added requirements can be allowed) and ...
Software architecture is the set of structures needed to reason about a software system and the discipline of creating such structures and systems. Each structure ...
Teachware – any special breed of software or other means of product dedicated to education purposes in software engineering and beyond in general education. [3] Testware – any software for testing hardware or software. Firmware – low-level software often stored on electrically programmable memory devices. Firmware is given its name ...
touchHLE is a compatibility layer (referred to as a “high-level emulator”) for Windows and macOS made by Andrea "hikari_no_yume" (Sweden) in early 2023 to run legacy 32-bit iOS software. The compatibility layer was only able to run one software, Super Monkey Ball as of version 0.1.0.
