  1. Byte orientation

    Unreferenced date September 2007 Byte orientation refers to forms of data processing in which digital data are processed byte wise. For example, communication is called byte oriented or character oriented when the transmitted information is grouped into byte s. The latter term is deprecated, since the notion of character computing character has changed. An ASCII character fits to one byte octet computing octet in terms of the amount of information. With the internationalization of computer software, wide character s became necessary, to handle texts in different languages. In particular, Unicode characters can be 8, 16, or 32 bits long, i.e., 1, 2, or 4 bytes. Byte oriented transmission makes use of byte oriented protocol s, that may involve transmission of additional bits as terminators, means of error recovery, etc. Another approaches, alternative to byte oriented , are bit oriented this opposition resemble a distinction of binary file binary and text file s and word oriented .

  1. Byte stream

    Unreferenced date December 2009 In computer science , a byte stream is a bit stream , in which data bit s are grouped into units, called byte s. In computer networking the term octet stream is sometimes used to refer to the same thing it emphasizes the use of bytes having the length of 8 bits, known as Octet computing octets . The size of a byte was not standard when the term was introduced, whereas on most As of 2007 alt modern computers byte is a synonym of octet. Formally, a byte stream is a certain abstraction , a communication channel down which one entity can send a sequence of bytes to the entity on the other end. Such channel is often bidirectional, but sometimes unidirectional. In almost all instances, the channel has the property that it is reliable i.e. exactly the same bytes emerge, in exactly the same order, at the other end. Less formally, one can think of it as a Electrical conduit conduit between the two entities one entity can insert bytes into the conduit, and the other entity then receives them. This conduit can be ephemeral or persistent. Examples On most operating ... a process is an example of a byte stream. In particular each process has three standard stream s, that are examples of unidirectional byte streams. A Pipeline Unix pipe mechanism is often used to connect them between processes, to enable process to process byte streams. One well known example of a communication protocol which provides a byte stream service to its clients is the Transmission Control Protocol TCP of the Internet protocol suite , which provides a bidirectional byte stream. The Internet media type for an arbitrary byte stream is tt application octet stream tt . Other media types are defined for byte streams in well known formats.

  1. Byte addressing

    Byte addressing refers to hardware architectures which support accessing individual byte s of data rather than only larger units called word orientation words , which would be word addressable . The basic unit of digital storage is called a bit . In most common Computer Architecture computer architectures , 8 bits are grouped together to form a byte . Byte addressable memory refers to architectures where data can be accessed 8 bits at a time, irrespective of the width of the data and address buses. Many common architectures can address more than 8 bits of data at a time. For example, the Intel 386SX processor can handle 16 bit two byte data, since data is transferred over a 16 bit computer bus bus . However, data in memory may be of various lengths. A 64 bit architecture machine might still need to access byte sized data over its 64 bit address line. Such memory, which is accessible in 8 bit segments, is called Byte Addressable Memory. Hence it is called byte addressable memory.

  1. Byte serving

    HTTP Byte serving is the process of sending only a portion of an HTTP 1.1 message from a server to a client. Clients which request byte serving might do so in cases in which a large file has been only partially delivered and a limited portion of the file is needed in a particular range. Byte Serving is therefore a method of bandwidth optimization . ref http www.research.att.com bala papers h0vh1.html Key Differences between HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1 A typical example is a server s sending an entire large resource when the client only needs a small part of it. There was no way in HTTP 1.0 to request partial objects... HTTP 1.1 range requests allow a client to request portions of a resource. ref In the HTTP 1.0 standard, clients were only able to request an entire document. By allowing byte serving, clients may choose to request any portion of the resource. One advantage of this capability is when a large media file is being requested, and that media file is properly formatted, the client may be able to request just the portions of the file known to be of interest. This has been reported to work for some PDF files and clients in which a client may request a certain page, rather than the entire file.

  1. The Byte Works

    The Byte Works , founded and run by Mike Westerfield , was a key player in the history of developer tools for Apple II computers. Its first product, the ORCA M assembler O bject R elocatable C ode A ssembler for M icrocomputers , and also MACRO spelled backwards , developed jointly by Westerfield and Phil Montoya , was a powerful assembly language development environment, complete with a Unix style shell, which ran on 8 bit Apple II computers. However, The Byte Works came into its own when Apple Computer was developing the Apple IIgs Apple sc II gs computer. In need of developer tools, they contacted The Byte Works and came to an agreement by which The Byte Works would develop the official developer tool suite for the Apple sc II gs the Apple Programmer s Workshop APW . This tool suite eventually would include an assembler as well as a C compiler. The Byte Works was also able to distribute its own developer tool suite, based on the same code as APW. The ORCA M assembler came first, followed by ORCA Pascal , ORCA C , and several other languages, including ORCA Modula 2 and ORCA Integer BASIC . The Byte Works did produce software other than developer tools, although tools were their mainstay. The Quick Click Calc spreadsheet was an excellent spreadsheet for the Apple sc II gs , although it arrived on the scene too late to have any major impact on the market. An easy to use and very powerful BASIC interpreter called GSoft BASIC was also eventually released in the mid 1990s. With the ability to communicate with the Apple IIgs Toolbox Apple sc II gs Toolbox , it could be used to produce powerful software with a minimum of effort. The Byte Works ceased development of Apple II software in 2000 and licensed its entire product line to Syndicomm, which continues to publish its extensive library to this day.

  1. Guard byte

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 A guard byte is a part of computer program s memory that helps software developers find buffer overflows while developing the program. Principle When a computer program program is compiler compiled for debugging , all Memory computers memory allocations are prefixed and postfixed by guard bytes. Special memory allocation subroutine routines may then perform additional tasks to determine unwanted read and write attempts outside the allocated memory. These extra bytes help to detect that the program is writing into or even reading from inappropriate memory areas, potentially causing buffer overflow s. In case of accessing these bytes by the program s algorithm, the programmer is warned with information assisting him to locate the problem. Checking for the inappropriate access to the guard bytes may be done in two ways by setting a memory breakpoint on a condition of write and or read to those bytes, or by pre initializing the guard bytes with specific values and checking the values upon deallocation. The first way is possible only with a debugger that handles such breakpoints, but significantly increases the chance of locating the problem. The second way does not require any debuggers or special Integrated development environment environments and can be done even on other computers, but the programmer is alerted about the overflow only upon the deallocation, which is sometimes quite late. Because guard bytes require additional code to be executed and additional memory to be allocated, they are used only when the program is compiled for debugging. When compiled as a release , guard bytes are not used at all, neither the routines working with them. Example A programmer wants to allocate a Buffer computer science buffer of 100 bytes of memory while debugging. The system memory allocating subroutine routine will allocate ... of access to those bytes in a debugger. DEFAULTSORT Guard Byte Category Programming idioms Category ...   more details

It was a text only Bulletin Board System style site running the CoSy computer conferencing system CoSy conferencing software running originally on an Arete multiprocessor system based on Motorola 68000s. When that didn t scale well, it was ported to run on Pyramid. When that became too expensive to run, it was ported to a Digital Equipment Corporation DEC Alpha server. McGraw Hill also used the same software internally. Access was via local dial in or for additional hourly charges, the Tymnet X.25 network. Monthly rates were initially 13 month for the account and 1 hour for X.25 access. Unlike CompuServe , access at higher speeds was not surcharged. Many of the Byte staff were active on the service. Later, gateways permitted email communication outside the system. BIX was acquired by the Delphi online service in 1992. In the mid 1990s the Internet became more available to the masses and Usenet , mailing lists , and competing services such as CompuServe and America Online were able to offer flat rate services, which adversely affected BIX membership levels. In the late 1990s, as the Internet became more mainstream, membership and activity plummeted forcing BIX to cut pricing to 40 per year, with no per hour connection charge by using the Internet for access. Lower prices and full page ads in Byte magazine were unsuccessful in turning the service around. Consequently, BIX was shut down in 2001.

  1. Byte pair encoding

    Byte pair encoding is a simple form of data compression in which the most common pair of consecutive byte s of data is replaced with a byte that does not occur within that data. A table of the replacements is required to rebuild the original data. The algorithm was first described publicly by Philip Gage in a February 1994 article A New Algorithm for Data Compression in the C Users Journal . ref cite web url http www.csse.monash.edu.au cluster RJK Compress problem.html title Byte Pair Encoding ref Byte pair encoding example Suppose we wanted to encode the data aaabdaaabac The byte pair aa occurs most often, so it will be replaced by a byte that is not used in the data, Z . Now we have the following data and replacement table ZabdZabac Z aa Then we repeat the process with byte pair ab , replacing it with Y ZYdZYac Y ab Z aa We could stop here, as the only literal byte pair left occurs only once. Or we could continue the process and use recursive byte pair encoding, replacing ZY with X XdXac X ZY Y ab Z aa This data cannot be compressed further by byte pair encoding because there are no pairs of bytes that occur more than once.

  1. SCSI high byte termination

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 In SCSI computer systems, there is a special case with mixed 8 bit and 16 bit devices where high byte termination may be required. Most parallel SCSI busses are terminated at each end. However where the bus width is not constant, it is sometimes necessary to provide special termination for the high byte and the associated parity bit. This high byte termination can use standard SCSI termination techniques, such as a passive terminator, active terminator, or a forced perfect terminator. This diagram shows a typical SCSI high byte termination scheme Image high byte termination.JPG There is a simplification to this which is sometimes used in the case where there is only one 16 bit wide device connected to one or more 8 bit narrow devices. Then it is possible to wire all the eight spare data bits and the ninth parity bit together and to terminate them with a single resistor circuit to TERMPOWER. So in the case of a differential SCSI bus, it is possible to terminate all 18 spare signal wires with just one resistor. This method is not considered good practice, but has been successfully used in some SCSI products. DEFAULTSORT Scsi High Byte Termination Category SCSI ...   more details
