Unreferenced date October 2008 Porter Hardware , the oldest continually operating hardware store in the state of Alabama , was opened in 1889 by Edwin Russell Porter and Joel Murphree in the city of Dothan, Alabama Dothan and is still operated today by Mr. Porter s descendants. The interior and exterior of Porter Hardware remains virtually unaltered and it maintains a large inventory of hardware and hard to find items. History Mr. Porter bought the lot on East Main Street in Dothan, Alabama for 300 and built the E.R. Porter Hardware building. Mr. Murphree sold his interest in the hardware to Mr. Porter a few years later and moved back to Troy, Alabama . Porter Hardware has remained in the Porter family ever since. Mr. Porter died in 1944, and it was his desire that the hardware store continue to retain its original appearance. Since that time, everything except the type of inventory has remained the same. Porter Hardware is currently owned by Mr. Porter s daughter, Jane Porter Thrower and is managed by his granddaughter, Jane Thrower II. His great grandson E.R.

Hardware mixing is a performance feature of computer audio hardware which enables sound card s to receive multiple audio streams and play them all at the same time. Hardware mixing improves performance by offloading audio mixing operations from the CPU and performing them at hardware speeds. In addition to mixing, the hardware performs related operations such as sample rate conversion SRC , attenuation, and, optionally, 3D processing that would otherwise need to be performed in software. On Microsoft Windows , hardware mixing is also referred to as hardware buffering or sometimes, questionably as DirectSound hardware acceleration . Those cards which offer hardware mixing include professional multichannel audio interfaces and Creative Labs X Fi, Live & Audigy series soundcards.

Examples of hardware acceleration include blitting acceleration functionality in graphics processing unit s GPUs and instructions for complex operations in CPUs. Normally, processors are sequential, and instructions are executed one by one. Various techniques are used to improve performance hardware acceleration is one of them. The main difference between hardware and software is concurrency computer science concurrency , allowing hardware to be much faster than software. Hardware accelerators are designed for computationally intensive software code. Depending upon granularity, hardware acceleration can vary from a small functional unit to a large functional block like motion estimation in MPEG 2 . The hardware that performs the acceleration, when in a separate unit from the CPU, is referred to as a hardware accelerator , or often more specifically as graphics accelerator or floating point unit floating point accelerator , etc. Those terms, however, are older and have been replaced with less descriptive terms like video card or graphics card .

unreferenced date October 2009 Merge Hardware abstraction layer date July 2008 Hardware abstractions are sets of routines in Computer software software that emulate some System platform platform specific details, giving programs direct access to the Computer hardwarehardware resources. They often allow programmers to write Computer hardware device independent, high performance applications by avoiding standard Operating System OS calls to hardware. The process of abstracting pieces of hardware is often done from the perspective of a CPU . Each type of CPU has a specific instruction set architecture or ISA. The ISA represents the primitive operations of the machine that are available for use by assembly programmers and compiler writers. One of the main functions of a compiler is to allow a programmer to write an algorithm in a high level language without having to care about CPU specific instructions. Then it is the job of the compiler to generate a CPU specific executable. The same type of abstraction is made in operating systems, but OS API s now represent the primitive operations of the machine, rather than an ISA. This allows a programmer to use OS level operations i.e. task creation deletion in their programs while still remaining portable over a variety of different platforms.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Electronic hardware refers to interconnected Electronics electronic components which perform analog circuit analog and or logic operations on received and locally stored information to produce as output and or store resulting new information and or to provide control for output actuator mechanisms. Electronic hardware can range from individual chips dn electrical network circuits to distributed information processing systems. Well designed electronic hardware is composed of hierarchies of functional modules which inter communicate via precisely defined interfaces. Hardware logic The term hardware logic is primarily a differentiation of the data processing circuitry from other more generalized circuitry. For example nearly all computers include a power supply which consists of circuitry not involved in data processing but rather powering the data processing circuits. Similarly, a computer may output information to a computer monitor or audio amplifier which is also not involved in the computational processes.
