title: Brandi Carlile

text: "The Current" reviewing the album wrote, "I thought she leaned too adult-contemporary for my tastes. Boy, was I wrong! This might be her most rockin' album to date. The album starts like a house afire: Carlile totally nails the vocal on the gospel influenced "Wherever Is Your Heart," and this one makes you realize just how good she is. When she sings, you're a believer. She'll have you singing along on the infectious "The Thing I Regret". Maybe the biggest surprise on the album is "Mainstream Kid," which shows some grit! It's as badass as Carlile has ever sounded. If you had Brandi Carlile pegged as an adult-contemporary softie, you might try again. Brandi Carlile and the Hanseroth twins show that they aren't afraid to rock out. The Firewatcher's Daughter is a bold and welcome addition to her catalogue." "USA Today" wrote, "The Firewatcher's Daughter is an album with a big heart, one that responds with love, not fear."

The track was directly inspired by The Cure song, "The Love Cats". In expanding on the song's lyrical meaning, DeLonge said: "The song's more about the vulnerability and kind of heart-wrenching pain you feel when you're in love and when you're a guy and you're trying to tell a girl, 'Don't waste your time coming and talking to me because, in my head at least, you probably already gave me up a long time ago.'"

text: When asked in a video interview by TasteitTV about having to conform to society, Rainbow says: "...A lot of the inspirations and themes in the lyrics, and even in the imagery is sort of childhood, and you know that perspective of when you're younger... you lose a bit of that sense of wonder and mystery, which is really inspiring and gives you a lot of energy when you're younger." Chibi follows by saying: "You have to be an adult, and you have to conform in certain ways because you have responsibilities now, whereas when you were a child, all you had to do is play games and lay in the grass, you know what I mean?"

title: Ellis Paul

text: When asked to describe the difference between writing songs for children and song for adults, Paul said: "The difference between writing a kids' song and an adult song is that in the kids' songs you tend to use primary colors and the words are brighter and the tempos are always upbeat. There's a nuance to the adult songs that is different. It's still the story telling, but its different shades and angles. You read between the lines more."

title: Family caregivers

text: Guilt, Worry and Shame serve no one. You didn't cause this. You can't control it and you can't fix it. Any time you feel these emotions, ask yourself if they are true. They aren't -- but ask anyway. You are only one person. You know when you need a break. And when the person receiving care keeps adding on to you already empty reserves of energy, you can't always take it. When that happens, find a way to take a break. A full day off and way is essential. You may need to take your person to an Adult Care Day location—You might need to hire someone to stay at your house. But you have to get away.

title: Girl

text: The word "girl" is sometimes used to refer to an adult female, usually a younger one. This usage may be considered derogatory or disrespectful in professional or other formal contexts, just as the term "boy" can be considered disparaging when applied to an adult man.

However, "girl" can also be a professional designation for a woman employed as a model or other public feminine representative such as a "showgirl", and in such cases is not generally considered derogatory.

The project intended to inform teenagers that "it gets better", through video submissions to the organization. Savage commented, "When a 15-year-old or a 13-year-old kills himself because he is gay, what he’s saying is that he can’t picture a future with enough joy in it to compensate for the pain he’s in now, to make enduring this and getting through it worth it. We gay adults know adult gay life is pretty awesome...You can have a totally wonderful, rewarding adult gay life. A lot of gay kids don’t know that. You wish you could tell him that it gets better and that was the phrase rattling around in my head."

title: Yanantin

text: … [U]npartnered people are missing an important part of them. They say that when you don’t have a partner, you are only half of a being. Alone, you are precious, you are unique, but you are only part. You are not whole yet. This is because when you are by yourself, you are either accumulating so much that it is overwhelming or you are draining yourself so much that you become weak. Because of that, you will feel fear or confused or lost. … you may know yourself, but you can never see yourself. For that you need another person. You need other eyes, another perspective to see that. When you are a child, you have your parents, but when you become older you no longer have your parents to see you, to recognize you. As an adult, your "yanantin", your partner, is the person who is there to see what you don’t see in yourself, just as you are there to see in that person what he doesn’t see in himself. That is why it is easier to take care of another person than of yourself—because you are not supposed to take care of yourself! For that, there is the other person.

title: Skin (TV series)

text: Robert Bianco of "USA Today" said, ""Skin" traps a 21st-century Romeo and Juliet between two dirty worlds: politics and porn. Throw in race, religion, and economic disparity, and you have enough problems to keep a soap busy for decades. ...Yet there's nothing salacious or pornographic about the show itself, which by current standards is relatively chaste." Bianco described the plot as "amusingly complicated" and Cotrona and Wilde as an "almost impossibly attractive couple". Alessandra Stanley of "The New York Times" said, "Fox has pulled off a slick, clever melodrama that holds one's attention even when pole-dancing, thong-snapping adult entertainers are off the screen" because "the adults do not fit neatly into hero and villain categories."

text:
phony drug salesman ... low-level drug dealers, chain snatchers ... [j]unkies alone in their heroin/cocaine dreamworld ... predatory chickenhawks spying on underage trade looking for pickups ... male prostitutes of all ages ... [t]ranssexuals, hustlers, and closety gays with a fetishistic homo- or heterosexual itch to scratch ... It was common to see porn stars whose films were playing at the adult houses promenade down the block. ... Were you a freak? Not when you stepped onto the Deuce. Being a freak there would get you money, attention, entertainment, a starring part in a movie. Or maybe a robbery and a beating.
For much of the mid and late 20th century, the area of 42nd Street near Times Square was home to activities often considered unsavory, including peep shows.

title: Noise-induced hearing loss

text: Hearing loss is typically quantified by results from an audiogram; however, the degree of loss of hearing does not predict the impact on one’s quality of life. The impact that NIHL can have on daily life and psychosocial function can be assessed and quantified using a validated questionnaire tool, such as the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE). The HHIE is considered a "useful tool for quantifying the perceived emotional and social/situational consequences of hearing loss." The original tool was designed to test adults 65 years of age and older; however, modified versions exist. For adults the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults (HHIA) can be used and for adolescents the modified 28-item Hearing Environments And Reflection on Quality of Life (HEAR-QL-28) can be used. The HHIA, for example, is a 25-item questionnaire that asks both social and emotional-specific questions such as: Does a hearing problem cause you to avoid groups of people?" (social) and "Does a hearing problem cause you to feel frustrated when talking to members of your family?" (emotional). Response options are yes, no and sometimes.

The animated series "Star Wars Resistance" debuted in late 2018, is anime-inspired, and focuses on a young Resistance pilot shortly before "The Force Awakens".

title: Tantive IV

text: The Tantive IV (also referred to as the Rebel blockade runner) is a fictional spaceship in the "Star Wars" film series. It was used by Leia Organa in "" and was the first vessel audiences saw when "Star Wars" premiered in 1977. Other Corellian corvettes, which share the "Tantive IV"'s design, appear in "Return of the Jedi" and in the "Star Wars" expanded universe's books, comics, TV series, and games.

title: Star Wars expanded to other media

text: In April 2014 Lucasfilm officially decreed prior expanded universe content non-canonical, and christened it "Star Wars Legends", with a new company division, Lucasfilm Story Group, ensuring that all forthcoming comics, books, games and other media were non-contradictory and true to one another, other canonical media, and the story of the films themselves. From that point onward the official "Star Wars" canon was clarified to include the "Star Wars" theatrical films and "The Clone Wars" animated film and TV series. Works which have since been produced include the "Rebels" animated TV series, the 2015 film "" and its 2017 sequel "", the 2016 anthology film "Rogue One", the 2017 video game "Star Wars Battlefront II", the 2018 film "", and a number of novels and comic book series.

title: DuMont Television Network

text: The network was a pioneer in TV programming aimed at minority audiences and featuring minority performers, at a time when the other American networks aired few television series for non-whites. Among DuMont's minority programs were "The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong", starring Asian American film actress Anna May Wong, the first US TV show to star an Asian American, and "The Hazel Scott Show", starring pianist and singer Hazel Scott, the first US network TV series to be hosted by a black woman.

title: Y-wing

text: The "Y-wing" assault starfighter/light bomber is a fictional starfighter in the "Star Wars" franchise. They are depicted as the primary fighter-bombers of the Galactic Republic, Rebel Alliance and New Republic; being ideally suited for ground attack missions and close air support. They appear in "", "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back", "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi", "Rogue One", , "Star Wars Rebels" TV series and the "Star Wars" expanded universe's books, comics, and games.

title: Star King (TV series)

text: Star King () is a South Korean television show which first aired on January 13, 2007 on the SBS network. "Star King" was the first TV show in Korea to run both online and on television simultaneously. The last episode of “Star King” aired on August 9, 2016.

title: The Love Boat

text:
In 1997, the episode with segment titles "Hidden Treasure", "Picture from the Past", and "Ace's Salary" (season 9, episode 3) was ranked No. 82 on TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time from "TV Guide" magazine. "The Love Boat" ran for nine seasons plus four specials. Another made-for-TV movie, titled "The Love Boat: A Valentine Voyage", starring four of the original cast members, aired finally on February 12, 1990.MacLeod, Kopell and Lange are the only cast members to appear in every episode of the TV series as well as the last three made-for-TV movies. Grandy was in every episode throughout the run of the series, but was not in the last of the TV movies due to his 1986 campaign for (and election to) the United States House of Representatives. MacLeod was not the captain of the "Pacific Princess" in the first two TV movies and did not appear in them, although when his character was introduced there was a mention of his being "the new captain".
Among the series' attractions was the casting of well-known actors in guest-starring roles, with many famous film stars of yesteryear making rare television appearances. "The Love Boat" was not the first comedy series to use the guest-star cast anthology format—"Love, American Style" had used the formula seven years earlier—but it had such success with the formula that future series in similar style (such as "Supertrain" and "Masquerade") always drew comparisons to "The Love Boat". The series was followed on Saturday nights on ABC by "Fantasy Island", which was likewise produced by Aaron Spelling, and had a similar format.

title: The Rebel (TV series)

text: The Rebel is a 76-episode American western television series starring Nick Adams that debuted on the ABC network from 1959 to 1961. "The Rebel" was one of the few Goodson-Todman Productions outside of their game show ventures. Beginning in December 2011, "The Rebel" reruns began to air Saturday mornings on Me-TV.

text: "Star Wars Rebels" is an American 3D CGI animated television series produced by Lucasfilm Animation. Set fourteen years after the events of "" and five years before "Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope", the series follows a motley group of rebels conducting covert operations to thwart the sinister Galactic Empire.


query: When was the first CPU developed?

title: Intel 4004

text: The Intel 4004 is a 4-bit central processing unit (CPU) released by Intel Corporation in 1971. It was the first commercially available microprocessor by Intel,[2] and the first in a long line of Intel CPUs.

title: Cache hierarchy

text: In the history of computer and electronic chip development, there was a period when increases in CPU speed outpaced the improvements in memory access speed. The gap between the speed of CPUs and memory meant that the CPU would often be idle. CPUs were increasingly capable of running and executing larger amounts of instructions in a given time, but the time needed to access data from main memory prevented programs from fully benefiting from this capability. This issue motivated the creation of memory models with higher access rates in order to realize the potential of faster processors.

title: Protection ring

text: Many CPU hardware architectures provide far more flexibility than is exploited by the operating systems that they normally run. Proper use of complex CPU modes requires very close cooperation between the operating system and the CPU, and thus tends to tie the OS to the CPU architecture. When the OS and the CPU are specifically designed for each other, this is not a problem (although some hardware features may still be left unexploited), but when the OS is designed to be compatible with multiple, different CPU architectures, a large part of the CPU mode features may be ignored by the OS. For example, the reason Windows uses only two levels (ring 0 and ring 3) is that some hardware architectures that were supported in the past (such as PowerPC or MIPS) implemented only two privilege levels.

title: Time (Unix)

text: The total CPU time is the combination of the amount of time the CPU or CPUs spent performing some action for a program and the amount of time they spent performing system calls for the kernel on the program's behalf. When a program loops through an array, it is accumulating user CPU time. Conversely, when a program executes a system call such as codice_2 or codice_3, it is accumulating system CPU time.

title: History of general-purpose CPUs

text: In the 1960s, the development of electronic calculators, electronic clocks, the Apollo guidance computer, and Minuteman missile, helped make integrated circuits economical and practical. In the late 1960s, the first calculator and clock chips began to show that very small computers might be possible with large-scale integration (LSI). This culminated in the invention of the microprocessor, a single-chip CPU. The Intel 4004, released in 1971, was the first commercial microprocessor. The origins of the 4004 date back to the "Busicom Project", which began at Japanese calculator company Busicom in April 1968, when engineer Masatoshi Shima was tasked with designing a special-purpose LSI chipset, along with his supervisor Tadashi Tanba, for use in the Busicom 141-PF desktop calculator with integrated printer. His initial design consisted of seven LSI chips, including a three-chip CPU. His design included arithmetic units (adders), multiplier units, registers, read-only memory, and a macro-instruction set to control a decimal computer system. Busicom then wanted a general-purpose LSI chipset, for not only desktop calculators, but also other equipment such as a teller machine, cash register and billing machine. Shima thus began work on a general-purpose LSI chipset in late 1968. Sharp engineer Tadashi Sasaki, who also became involved with its development, conceived of a single-chip microprocessor in 1968, when he discussed the concept at a brainstorming meeting that was held in Japan. Sasaki attributes the basic invention to break the calculator chipset into four parts with ROM (4001), RAM (4002), shift registers (4003) and CPU (4004) to an unnamed woman, a software engineering researcher from Nara Women's College, who was present at the meeting. Sasaki then had his first meeting with Robert Noyce from Intel in 1968, and presented the woman's four-division chipset concept to Intel and Busicom.

title: CPU Sim

text: CPU Sim is a software development environment for the simulation of simple computers. It was developed by Dale Skrien to help students understand computer architectures. With this application the user is able to simulate new or existing simple CPUs. Users can create new virtual CPUs with custom machine language instructions, which are implemented by a sequence of micro instructions. CPU Sim allows the user to edit and run assembly language programs for the CPU being simulated.

title: Central processing unit

text:
Since the introduction of the first commercially available microprocessor, the Intel 4004 in 1970, and the first widely used microprocessor, the Intel 8080 in 1974, this class of CPUs has almost completely overtaken all other central processing unit implementation methods. Mainframe and minicomputer manufacturers of the time launched proprietary IC development programs to upgrade their older computer architectures, and eventually produced instruction set compatible microprocessors that were backward-compatible with their older hardware and software. Combined with the advent and eventual success of the ubiquitous personal computer, the term "CPU" is now applied almost exclusively to microprocessors. Several CPUs (denoted "cores") can be combined in a single processing chip.
Previous generations of CPUs were implemented as discrete components and numerous small integrated circuits (ICs) on one or more circuit boards. Microprocessors, on the other hand, are CPUs manufactured on a very small number of ICs; usually just one. The overall smaller CPU size, as a result of being implemented on a single die, means faster switching time because of physical factors like decreased gate parasitic capacitance. This has allowed synchronous microprocessors to have clock rates ranging from tens of megahertz to several gigahertz. Additionally, the ability to construct exceedingly small transistors on an IC has increased the complexity and number of transistors in a single CPU many fold. This widely observed trend is described by Moore's law, which had proven to be a fairly accurate predictor of the growth of CPU (and other IC) complexity until 2016.

title: Test-and-set

text: When CPU 1 issues a test-and-set instruction, the DPRAM first makes an "internal note" of this by storing the address of the memory location in a special place. If at this point, CPU 2 happens to issue a test-and-set instruction for the same memory location, the DPRAM first checks its "internal note", recognizes the situation, and issues a BUSY interrupt, which tells CPU 2 that it must wait and retry. This is an implementation of a busy waiting or spinlock using the interrupt mechanism. Since all this happens at hardware speeds, CPU 2's wait to get out of the spin-lock is very short.

title: Turbo button

text: The feature was relatively common on systems running 286 to 486 CPUs, and rarely on first generation Pentium CPU equipped computers. The MHz displays largely disappeared or were reprogrammed to display "HI"/"LO" when CPU speeds reached 100 MHz, since most systems only had a two-digit display.

title: POWER1

text: The POWER1 is a multi-chip CPU developed and fabricated by IBM that implemented the POWER instruction set architecture (ISA). It was originally known as the RISC System/6000 CPU or, when in an abbreviated form, the RS/6000 CPU, before introduction of successors required the original name to be replaced with one that used the same naming scheme (POWER"n") as its successors in order to differentiate it from the newer designs.

title: Linked list

text: Several operating systems developed by Technical Systems Consultants (originally of West Lafayette Indiana, and later of Chapel Hill, North Carolina) used singly linked lists as file structures. A directory entry pointed to the first sector of a file, and succeeding portions of the file were located by traversing pointers. Systems using this technique included Flex (for the Motorola 6800 CPU), mini-Flex (same CPU), and Flex9 (for the Motorola 6809 CPU). A variant developed by TSC for and marketed by Smoke Signal Broadcasting in California, used doubly linked lists in the same manner.

title: Central Philippine University

text: One of the other prominent infrastructural developments during Dr. Juanito Acanto's term as a president, is the establishment of the university's own Television Channel, the "CPU TV Channel". The television channel, launched in 2001 under its former names, EXCEL TV, then was changed to CPU Alumni Channel in 2005, and to "CPU TV Channel", is the "first university–based cable TV channel in Asia", is one big leap in upholding the university's standard in quality education through the use of mass media. There were various new real properties also that is owned by the University when he was in his term as the President. The 24 hectares San Rafael Agricultural Land and the 14 hectare Guimaras Agricultural Land

title: Benchmark (computing)

text: CPUs that have many execution units — such as a superscalar CPU, a VLIW CPU, or a reconfigurable computing CPU — typically have slower clock rates than a sequential CPU with one or two execution units when built from transistors that are just as fast. Nevertheless, CPUs with many execution units often complete real-world and benchmark tasks in less time than the supposedly faster high-clock-rate CPU.

title: BBC Micro

text:
Separate pages, each with a codename, were used to control the access to the I/O:
The Tube interface allowed Acorn to use BBC Micros with ARM CPUs as software development machines when creating the Acorn Archimedes. This resulted in the ARM development kit for the BBC Micro in 1986, priced at around £4000. From 2006 a kit with an ARM7TDMI CPU running at 64 MHz, with as much as 64 MB of RAM, was released for the BBC Micro and Master, using the Tube interface to upgrade the old 8-bit micros into 32-bit RISC machines. Among the software that operated on the Tube were an enhanced version of the "Elite" video game (see below) and a computer-aided design system that required a second 6502 CPU and a 3-dimensional joystick named a "Bitstik".

title: Coffee Lake

text: The enthusiast Z370 (a rebranded Z270), launched alongside the first Coffee Lake CPUs in October 2017, was the only officially supported chipset for these mainstream CPUs. When the full lineup of CPUs was revealed in April 2018, it was then accompanied by the lower-end H310, B360, H370 and Q370 chipsets for home and business users. The Z390 chipset was launched alongside the release of the 9th generation CPUs, supporting all 8th and 9th generation mainstream desktop parts.

title: Central Philippine University

text: Other research and auxiliary centers and extension programs of the University includes the CPU Research and Developmental Learning Center (Building), CPU Center for Local Governance and Indigenous Peoples Studies; CPU-World Bank Knowledge Development Center (CPU WB-KDC); CPU Appropriate Technology Center (CPU-APPROTECH); CPU Crop Research Laboratory; and the CPU – Social Science Research Institute.

title: CPU-bound

text: The concept of CPU-bounding was developed during early computers, when data paths between computer components were simpler, and it was possible to visually see one component working while another was idle. Example components were CPU, tape drives, hard disks, card-readers, and printers. Computers that predominantly used peripherals were characterized as I/O bound. Establishing that a computer is frequently CPU-bound implies that upgrading the CPU or optimizing code will improve the overall computer performance.

title: Brain Fuck Scheduler

text: When the scheduler discovers a waking task, it will need to determine which logical CPU to run the wakening task on the non-unicore system. The scheduler favors most the idle hyperthreaded cores first on the same CPU that the task executed on, then the other idle core of a multicore CPU, then the other CPUs with the nearest cache locality on the same NUMA node, then those other CPUs outside the cache locality on the same NUMA node, then the other (remote) NUMA node and is ranked on a preference list. This special scan exists to minimize latency overhead resulting of migrating the task.

title: Amiga

text: Phase5 designed the PowerUP boards (Blizzard PPC and CyberStorm PPC) featuring both a 68k (a 68040 or 68060) and a PowerPC (603 or 604) CPU, which are able to run the two CPUs at the same time and share the system memory. The PowerPC CPU on PowerUP boards is usually used as a coprocessor for heavy computations; a powerful CPU is needed to run MAME for example, but even decoding JPEG pictures and MP3 audio was considered heavy computation at the time. It is also possible to ignore the 68k CPU and run Linux on the PPC via project Linux APUS, but a PowerPC-native AmigaOS promised by Amiga Technologies GmbH was not available when the PowerUP boards first appeared.

title: VAX 8000

text: Code-named ""Nautilus"", this is the high-end model in the VAX 8800 family. It features two CPUs and two VAXBI buses as standard. The VAX 8000 CPU was a heavily pipelined design, slightly predating the first commercial MIPS and SPARC designs. Development of the VAX 8800 began in August–November 1982 and it was introduced on 29 January 1986. When ""Polarstar"" systems and a new naming convention were introduced, the VAX 8800 was renamed to VAX 8820N to distinguish it from the VAX 8820 ""Polarstar"". After the name adjustments and upgrading to full SMP capability, the former VAX 8700 and VAX 8800 models became VAX 88x0 machines, where "x" represented the number of CPUs, i.e. VAX 8810, 8820, 8830 and 8840. The upgrade kit includes replacement numbers affixed to the front of the machine to reflect the new designation.

title: 1801 series CPU

text: The history of this CPU stems from the early 1970s, when the group of engineers in Zelenograd's Special Computing Center, led by D.I. Yuditsky, developed their first 16-bit minicomputer, called Elektronika NC-1. This machine, intended to directly compete with SM EVM series, was first released in 1973 and used the bit slice 4-bit 587 CPU, sometimes called the first Soviet microprocessor ever. Its descendants proved popular and were widely used in various control systems and telecom equipment. However, the bit-slice nature of their CPUs made these machines somewhat unwieldy, especially in military applications, and the need for a single-chip microprocessor was identified.

title: CPU time

text: CPU time and CPU usage have two main uses. The first use is to quantify the overall busyness of the system. When the CPU usage is high, the user may experience lag. Such high CPU usage indicates insufficient processing power. Either the CPU needs to be upgraded, or the user experience reduced, for example, by switching to lower resolution graphics or reducing animations.

title: LongHaul

text: VIA LongHaul is a CPU speed throttling and power saving technology developed by VIA Technologies. By executing specialized instructions, software can exercise fine control on the bus-to-core frequency ratio and CPU core voltage. When the system first boots, the ratio and voltage are set to hardware defaults. While the operating system runs, a "CPU driver" controls the throttling according to how much load is put on the CPU.

title: IBM Aptiva

text: The IBM Aptiva personal computer was introduced in September 1994 as the replacement for the IBM PS/1. The first Aptiva models were based on the Intel 80486 CPU with later models using the Pentium and AMD CPUs. All systems were developed in-house except for the later E series which was developed by Acer. The last system was withdrawn in May 2001 without direct replacement when IBM decided to exit the home market. Customers were directed to the IBM NetVista, which was more targeted to business desktops. Most Aptiva models included a modem and a standby/hibernation feature called "Rapid Resume".

title: IBM PC compatible

text: Companies such as AMD and Cyrix developed alternative CPUs that were functionally compatible with Intel's. Towards the end of the 1990s, AMD was taking an increasing share of the CPU market for PCs. AMD even ended up playing a significant role in directing the development of the x86 platform when its Athlon line of processors continued to develop the classic x86 architecture as Intel deviated with its Netburst architecture for the Pentium 4 CPUs and the IA-64 architecture for the Itanium set of server CPUs. AMD developed AMD64, the first major extension not created by Intel, which Intel later adopted as x86-64. During 2006 Intel began abandoning Netburst with the release of their set of "Core" processors that represented a development of the earlier Pentium III.

title: CFD-DEM

text: OpenMP has been shown to be more efficient in performing coupled CFD-DEM calculations in parallel framework as compared to MPI by Amritkar et al. Recently, a multi-scale parallel strategy is developed. Generally, the simulation domain is divided into many sub-domains and each process calculates only one sub-domain using MPI passing boundary information; for each sub-domain, the CPUs are used to solve the fluid phase while the general purpose GPUs are used to solve the movement of particles. However, in this computation method CPUs and GPUs work in serial. That is, the CPUs are idle while the GPUs are calculating the solid particles, and the GPUs are idle when the CPUs are calculating the fluid phase. To further accelerate the computation, the CPU and GPU computing can be overlapped using the shared memory of a Linux system. Thus, the fluid phase and particles can be calculated at the same time.

title: Tagged Command Queuing

text: This effort was not very successful because the ATA bus started out as a reduced-pin-count ISA bus. The requirement for software compatibility made ATA host bus adapters act like ISA bus devices without first party DMA. When a drive was ready for a transfer, it had to interrupt the CPU, wait for the CPU to ask the disk what command was ready to execute, respond with the command that it was ready to execute, wait for the CPU to program the host bus adapter's third-party DMA engine based on the result of that command, wait for the third party DMA engine to execute the command, and then had to interrupt the CPU again to notify it when the DMA engine finished the task so that the CPU could notify the thread that requested the task that the requested task was finished. Since responding to interrupts uses CPU time, CPU utilization rose quickly when ATA TCQ was enabled. Also, since interrupt service time can be unpredictable, there are times when the disk is ready to transfer data but is unable to do so because it must wait for a CPU to respond to the interrupt so that the CPU knows that it needs to program the third party DMA engine.

title: Power Mac G4

text: The machine can be configured to use only a single CPU at the Open Firmware prompt. There was also a developer utility to switch between single and dual CPU via a System Preferences preference pane. Using that API, a tool was developed to switch to single CPU on low load, enabling the low power mode and switching to dual CPU mode only when required. Soon after suggesting that hack to Apple, a new firmware was released, disabling the API for switching between single and dual CPU modes.

title: SciTech SNAP

text: SNAP drivers were originally developed for Intel 386+ CPU with any 32-bit operating system or environment supported on that CPU. With the introduction of SNAP 3.0, native binary SNAP drivers are available for 32-bit PowerPC CPUs and 64-bit x86-64 CPUs.

title: Memory barrier

text: When a program runs on a single-CPU machine, the hardware performs the necessary bookkeeping to ensure that the program executes as if all memory operations were performed in the order specified by the programmer (program order), so memory barriers are not necessary. However, when the memory is shared with multiple devices, such as other CPUs in a multiprocessor system, or memory-mapped peripherals, out-of-order access may affect program behavior. For example, a second CPU may see memory changes made by the first CPU in a sequence which differs from program order.

title: MESI protocol

text: A direct consequence of the store buffer's existence is that when a CPU commits a write, that write is not immediately written in the cache. Therefore, whenever a CPU needs to read a cache line, it first has to scan its own store buffer for the existence of the same line, as there is a possibility that the same line was written by the same CPU before but hasn't yet been written in the cache (the preceding write is still waiting in the store buffer). Note that while a CPU can read its own previous writes in its store buffer, other CPUs "cannot see those writes" before they are flushed from the store buffer to the cache - a CPU cannot scan the store buffer of other CPUs.


query: Who builds ships for the US Navy?

title: Huntington Ingalls Industries

text: HII is the sole designer, builder, and refueler of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States. It is one of two nuclear-powered submarine builders (the other being General Dynamics Electric Boat). 70% of the current, active U.S. Navy surface fleet has been built by HII's former units.[7]

title: Brooklyn Navy Yard

text: After the Civil War, the timber sheds were used for timber storage, though the number of wooden ships built at the Navy Yard steadily decreased. During the late 19th century, Admiral's Row, a grouping of residences that formerly housed Navy Yard officers, was built around the timber sheds. As part of a Works Progress Administration renovation, part of Building 15 was demolished in 1937. In the 1940s, Building 16 was used as a police station as well as a lumber storage building, and in the 1950s and 1960s, it was also used as a garage. A 1963 renovation to Building 16 demolished part of the building, and the remainder was converted into a private ice rink for police officers. The rest of Building 15 was demolished probably after 1979, and Building 16 was abandoned around this time.

title: Republic of Korea Navy

text: In the 1970s, through the Park Chung-hee Administration's ""Yulgok" Plan" (an eight-year national defense plan "to build up self-reliant, national defense capability"), the ROK Navy began to build a fleet of locally built ships with indigenous technology. The Navy acquired shipbuilding capabilities by planning and building patrol craft such as "Baekgu" class and "Chamsuri" class in the 1970s. The lead ship (FF 951) of the 2,000-ton "Ulsan"-class frigates was launched in 1980. The lead ship (PCC 751) of the 1,000-ton "Donghae"-class corvettes and the lead ship (PCC 756) of the 1,000-ton "Pohang"-class corvettes were launched in 1982 and in 1984 respectively. The ROK Navy continued to carry out other shipbuilding projects for midget submarines, minesweepers, logistic support ships, and amphibious warfare ships in the 1980s and 1990s.

title: Attack on USNS Card

text: For the VC commandos of the 65th Special Operations Group, the explosion on "Card" signalled a successful mission. By sunrise, "Card" had settled into the river with its engine compartment completely flooded. Five American civilians who worked on the ship died as a result of the attack. Due to rapid response from the ship's crew and local authorities, flooding inside the ship was quickly stopped and it was stabilized. An inspection revealed that the explosion had torn a hole long and high, on the starboard side of the ship. In the days that followed, five US Navy divers were deployed to Saigon from the Philippines, in addition to several salvage teams from US bases in Japan and the Military Sea Transport Service Command. Amongst the divers was founding US Navy Seals member Roy Boehm, who claimed to have recovered the remains of a Hagerson Demolition Pack, a specialised explosive charge used by US navy frogmen. Bohem speculated that the explosives used in the attack had been stolen from his own South Vietnamese Navy unit by a group of deserters who had been mistreated by a South Vietnamese officer.

title: F-22P Zulfiquar-class frigate

text: On 6 September 2014, PNS "Zulfiquar" was attacked by al-Qaeda-affiliated militants and rogue Pakistani Navy personnel who attempted to capture the ship and had plans to use it to attack US Navy vessels. The attack was foiled by Pakistani forces. The attackers had intended to use "Zulfiquar"s anti-ship missiles to attack the U.S. Navy Fleet in the Arabian Sea. Ten militants which included four rogue ex-Pakistani navy personnel were killed by Pakistani forces in their efforts to foil the capture attempt. Four other officers who were involved but who did not participate in the attack were later apprehended.

title: Sheerness Dockyard

text: In 1665 Samuel Pepys, who was Clerk of the Acts of the Navy Board, recorded visiting Sheerness to measure out the site for the new dockyard. The situation was overtaken, however, by the escalating Anglo-Dutch conflict: in order to make the ships in The Nore battle-ready, temporary buildings were hastily erected. Work continued, but in 1667 the still-incomplete dockyard was easily captured, together with the adjacent fort, by the Dutch Navy and used as the base for a daring but humiliating raid on the English ships at anchor in the Medway. Both fort and dockyard were left in flames, along with a significant number of the ships moored in the river.

text: In November 1941, a small delegation from the British Admiralty arrived in the United States to pool ideas with the United States Navy's Bureau of Ships with regard to development of ships and also including the possibility of building further "Boxer"s in the US. During this meeting, it was decided that the Bureau of Ships would design these vessels. As with the standing agreement these would be built by the US so British shipyards could concentrate on building vessels for the Royal Navy. The specification called for vessels capable of crossing the Atlantic and the original title given to them was "Atlantic Tank Landing Craft" (Atlantic (T.L.C.)). Calling a vessel long a "craft" was considered a misnomer and the type was re-christened "Landing Ship, Tank (2)", or "LST (2)".

title: Type R ship

text:
The Type R ship is a United States Maritime Administration (MARAD) designation for World War II refrigerated cargo ship, also called a reefer ship. The R type ship was used in World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War and the Cold War. Type R ships were used to transport perishable commodities which require temperature-controlled transportation, such as fruit, meat, fish, vegetables, dairy products and other foods. The US Maritime Commission ordered 41 new refrigerated ships for the US Navy. Because of the difficulty of building refrigerated ships only two were delivered in 1944, and just 26 were delivered in 1945 and the remainder in 1946–48. The 41 R type ships were built in four groups. Two of design types were modified type C1 ships and two were modified type C2 ships. The United Fruit Company operated many of the R type ships in World War II. The type R2-S-BV1 became the US Navy Alstede"-class stores ship and the type R1-M-AV3 became the US Navy Adria"-class stores ship.
R2-S-BV1 "Alstede"-class stores ship, , built by Moore Dry Dock Company of Oakland, California in 1945. Used carrying frozen meat to Allied forces in World War II. Hull is close to C2-SU type ships. Displacement: 6,319 t.(lt), length: , beam: , draft: , speed: max., crew complement: 64, propulsion: cross-compound turbines, single propeller.

title: HNLMS Poolster (A835)

text: In 1960 the Royal Netherlands Navy noted that it needed a replenishment ship, after chartering earlier that year the turbine tanker "Mijndrecht" (of the shipping company Phs. van Ommeren) for a trip around the world with several Dutch navy ships. The replenishment ship allowed the Royal Netherlands Navy to supply its ship during long trips to different locations in the world, as well as during lengthy exercises. For example, in the context of NATO, to check the readiness of allied navies and to see how good they complement each other. At the end of 1961 the official order was given by the Dutch navy to build a replenishment ship. The design was done in-house by the Royal Netherlands Navy itself, while the Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij (RDM) got the order of actually building the ship. On 17 July 1962 the navy announced that the ship would be called "Poolster", the same name as of the Government Navy, which was active when the Dutch East Indies was still a colony of the Netherlands. On 18 September 1962 the keel of "Poolster" was laid down at one of the docks of RDM. On 16 October 1963 at 4:30 pm the ship was launched. After "Poolster" was commissioned on 29 June 1964 extensive trial runs took place until the Dutch navy concluded in September 1964 that the ship had withstood the tests successfully. The first real supply at sea of "Poolster" happened on 14 October 1964, when "Poolster" supplied the HNLMS "Van Ewijck".

title: Colony-class frigate

text: The ships were built as United States Navy patrol frigates, a design that was an adaptation of the Royal Navy , with modifications made mainly to use materials and parts more readily available in the United States. For example, American guns were used as the main surface armament in the "Tacoma"- and Colony-class frigates instead of the British guns of the River class. They were mass-produced to mercantile standards to enable their speedy construction in shipyards that did not normally build warships. They were built more quickly than British shipyards could build the Rivers, but the quicker build required more man-hours and sterling cost was about twice that of a River. Upon transfer to the Royal Navy, each ship underwent modifications to bring her in line with Royal Navy requirements.

title: Pacific Bridge Company

text:
Henry J. Kaiser's had the Pacific Bridge Company join as one of Kaiser's "Group of Six" construction companies that help build the Hoover Dam, due to Pacific Bridge's expertise. Pacific Bridge also brought its capital into the large project The ship building yard was on the Oakland Alameda estuary. Some residential homes near Clement Avenue and Chestnut Street were purchased and taken down or moved to be part of the Emergency Shipbuilding Program. The Pacific Bridge Company was a contractor to the US Navy to build the ships. The ship yard was to the West of the General Engineering & Dry Dock Company. The land for the ship yard was purchased by the Navy from 24 March to 7 July of 1942. The Pacific Bridge Company Oakland Alameda yard discontinued shipbuilding after World War 2, continued manufacturing until 1969. In 1969 the yard was sold for redevelopment and today is the Alameda Marina, just west of the Naval Air Station Alameda station. Alameda Marina also has a commercial shipyard, ship maintenance facilities, industrial space, storage, and office buildings. Part of the shipyard became the Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Center in 1949. The Site had several training buildings that provided training on ship systems.
On January 21, 2016 demolition started of the Pacific Bridge Company workshop building on Clement Ave. The land will be used for a new condominium complex.

title: USS Jackson (LCS-6)

text: In 2002, the U.S. Navy initiated a program to develop the first of a fleet of littoral combat ships. The Navy initially ordered two trimaran hulled ships from General Dynamics, which became known as the "Independence"-class littoral combat ships after the first ship of the class, USS "Independence". Even-numbered U.S. Navy littoral combat ships are built using the "Independence"-class trimaran design, while odd-numbered ships are based on a competing design, the conventional monohull . The initial order of littoral combat ships involved a total of four ships, including two of the "Independence"-class design. On 29 December 2010, the Navy announced that it was awarding Austal USA a contract to build ten additional "Independence"-class littoral combat ships.

title: Billy Mitchell

text:
In February 1921, at the urging of Mitchell, who was anxious to test his theories of destruction of ships by aerial bombing, Secretary of War Newton Baker and Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels agreed to a series of joint Army-Navy exercises, known as Project B, to be held that summer in which surplus or captured ships could be used as targets.
Mitchell was concerned that the building of dreadnoughts was taking precious defense dollars away from military aviation. He was convinced that a force of anti-shipping airplanes could defend a coastline with more economy than a combination of coastal guns and naval vessels. A thousand bombers could be built at the same cost as one battleship, and could sink that battleship. Mitchell infuriated the Navy by claiming he could sink ships "under war conditions", and boasted he could prove it if he were permitted to bomb captured German battleships.

title: Maritime history of Scotland

text: James I was responsible for developing the shipping interests of the country, establishing a shipbuilding yard at Leith. His successor, James II, developed the use of gunpowder and artillery in Scotland and, in consequence, ships were built with hulls thick enough to resist artillery, and with high forecastles to carry guns. The pioneer in Scotland's newer type of warship was Bishop Kennedy of St. Andrews who was responsible for the building of the St Salvator, which cost £10,000. James IV continued the policy of building up the navy, having 38 ships built for his fleet and founding two new dockyards. His greatest achievement was the construction of "Great Michael", the largest ship up to that time launched in Scotland, the building of which cost £30,000.

title: 5"/38 caliber gun

text: The 5"/38 cal gun was mounted on a very large number of US Navy ships in the World War II era. It was backfitted to many of the World War I-era battleships during their wartime refits, usually replacing 5"/25 guns that were fitted in the 1930s. It has left active US Navy service, but it is still on mothballed ships of the United States Navy reserve fleets. It is also used by a number of nations who bought or were given US Navy surplus ships. Millions of rounds of ammunition were produced for these guns, with over 720,000 rounds still remaining in Navy storage depots in the mid-1980s because of the large number of Reserve Fleet ships with 5"/38 cal guns on board.

title: USS Montgomery (LCS-8)

title: Brooklyn Navy Yard

text: After the U.S. won the Spanish–American War of 1898, President Theodore Roosevelt, a former assistant secretary of the Navy, built up Navy presence. As such he arranged to build sixteen ships for a "goodwill tour" of the world. The main ship, the , was laid down at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in 1903 and launched in 1904; she was also the flagship vessel of the "Connecticut"-class battleships. To accommodate the construction of the "Connecticut", Building Way 1 was rebuilt in 1903. Another shipway, Building Way 2, was built in 1917, at the same time that Building Way 1 was enlarged. Building Ways 1 and 2 were collectively referred to as the Connecticut building ways. The shipways were used to launch dreadnoughts, large battleships with heavy guns. One such vessel was the , the lead ship of the "Florida"-class battleships, which was launched in 1910. Other lead battleships launched from the Connecticut building ways include the in 1912, the in 1915, the in 1917, and the in 1919. By this time, all vessels at Brooklyn Navy Yard were constructed outdoors, rather than inside shipbuilding houses, as it was easier for overhead cranes.

title: National Steel and Shipbuilding Company

text: Beginning in the 1990s the company won Navy contracts to build AOE-10 support ships, strategic sealift ships, and TOTE Orca-class trailerships. Additional Navy contracts awarded during the 2000s included maintenance of the San Diego-based USS "Ticonderoga" (CG-47) and USS "Spruance" (DD-963) warships. In 2001 the Navy awarded NASSCO its largest order in company history, to build the Lewis and Clark class dry cargo ship (T-AKE), a 14-ship program with a contract value of $3.7 billion. The company has a contract to build at least three Mobile Landing Platform ships, a new class of ship for the U.S. Navy. Construction on the first vessel began in July 2011 and the keel was laid for the second in December 2012. In 2016, Matson, Inc ordered two Kanaloa-class freighters, to be delivered near the end of the decade.

title: History of the Republic of Korea Navy

text: Continuing from the 1950s, the ROK Navy continued to build naval surface forces mainly with ships transferred from the US Navy.

title: South Boston Naval Annex

text: Many of the buildings and cranes of the Navy Annex still stand, with their numbers being maintained. Dry Dock Number 3 is used by the Boston Ship Repair company to repair ships – mostly those of the US Navy, United States Maritime Service and Military Sealift Command.

title: Seventy-four (ship)

text: The significance of the 74s however is hard to overstate, as a summary of the ships of the line for all nations that were in commission at any time during the Revolutionary/Napoleonic Wars period.The Royal Navy captured a number of the early French 74-gun ships during the War of the Austrian Succession (for example, , captured at the first battle of Cape Finisterre in 1747) and the Seven Years' War and was greatly impressed by them compared to its own smallish 70-gun ships. As a result, it started building them in great numbers from about 1760, as did most other navies. Navies that were restricted by shallow waters, such as the Dutch and Scandinavian navies, at least early on tended to avoid the 74-gun ship to a certain degree due to its size and draught, preferring smaller two-deckers instead. Even so, the seventy-four was a standard feature in all European navies around 1800. Only a handful of 74-gun ships were commissioned into the United States Navy; the US Navy's early sea power concentrated on its frigates.

title: Hercules

text: Hercules' name was also used for five ships of the US Navy, four ships of the Spanish Navy, four of the Argentine Navy and two of the Swedish Navy, as well as for numerous civilian sailing and steam ships - see links at Hercules (ship).

title: Landing Ship, Tank

text: At their first meeting at the Atlantic conference in Argentia, Newfoundland, in August 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill confirmed the Admiralty's views. In November 1941, a small delegation from the Admiralty arrived in the United States to pool ideas with the United States Navy's Bureau of Ships with regard to development of ships and the possibility of building further "Boxer"s in the US. During this meeting, it was decided that the Bureau of Ships would design these vessels. As with the standing agreement, these ships would be built by the US so British shipyards could concentrate on building vessels for the Royal Navy. The specifications called for vessels capable of crossing the Atlantic, and the original title given to them was "Atlantic Tank Landing Craft" (Atlantic (T.L.C.)). Calling a vessel long a "craft" was considered a misnomer and the type was re-christened "Landing Ship, Tank (2)", or "LST (2)".

title: HMS Biter (D97)

text: "Biter" was returned to the US Navy on 9 April 1945. She underwent a refit and was lent to the French Navy, where she was renamed Dixmude. The Flotille 3FB equipped with Douglas Dauntless dive bombers served on the ship between 1945 and 1949. On 24 January 1951 she was removed from the US Navy register and disarmed during her next refit between 1951–1953. She then became an accommodation ship until 1965, when she was returned to the US Navy, who sank her as a target ship on 10 June 1966.

title: Tacoma-class frigate

text: The US Navy quickly decommissioned 23 "Tacoma"-class ships after the end of World War II, after only very brief US Navy careers, and sold them for scrap in 1947 and 1948, although one, the former , was saved from the scrapyard to become a Brazilian merchant ship. The 27 ships the Soviet Union returned in 1949 went into the US Navys Pacific Reserve Fleet in Japan; 13 of them were recommissioned for US Navy service in the Korean War, but all 27 soon were transferred to the navies of other countries. The other 25 "Tacoma"-class ships never returned to service in the US Navy and also were transferred to foreign countries. In the post-World War II era, "Tacoma"-class patrol frigates operated in the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, the Republic of Korea Navy, and the Argentine, Belgian, Colombian, Cuban, Dominican, Ecuadorian, French, Mexican, Royal Netherlands, Peruvian, and Royal Thai navies, and one ship operated as a civilian weather ship for the government of the Netherlands. In foreign navies, many "Tacoma"-class ships survived into the 1960s and 1970s, and the last operator of "Tacoma"-class patrol frigates, Thailand, did not retire its two ships until 2000.

title: Henry Eckford (shipbuilder)

text: After the War of 1812 began in June 1812, Eckford offered his services to United States Secretary of the Navy Paul Hamilton in a letter of 8 July 1812. US Navy Commodore Isaac Chauncey was placed in command of all Navy forces in the Great Lakes region, and he had known Eckford since Chauncey had been master of John Jacob Astors Eckford-built ship "Beaver" in 1806–1807 and had supervised Eckford & Beebes construction of US Navy gunboats in 1808. Chauncey visited New York City in the first week of September 1812 to meet with Eckford and his fellow shipbuilders Christian Bergh and Adam and Noah Brown about the problem of building a fleet of warships on Lake Ontario. Eckford, with experience in building ships in both Kingstown and Oswego, was an obvious choice for building ships for Chauncey on the Great Lakes, and Adam and Noah Brown also agreed to head north to design and build Chaunceys fleet, while Bergh agreed to remain in New York City and oversee the transportation of men and materiel north to Lake Ontario.

title: Washington Navy Yard

text: From 1984 to 2015, the decommissioned destroyer was a museum ship at the Washington Navy Yard as "Display Ship "Barry"" (DS "Barry"). "Barry" was frequently used for change of command ceremonies for naval commands in the area. Due to declining visitors to the ship, the expensive renovations she required, and the District's plans to build a new bridge that would trap her in the Anacostia River, "Barry" was towed away during the winter of 2015-2016 for scrapping. The U.S. Navy held an official departure ceremony for the ship on 17 October 2015.

title: Huszár-class destroyer

text: The "Huszár" class was a class of destroyers built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy before the First World War. They were built to a design by the British shipbuilder Yarrow Shipbuilders, who built the first ship, with a further 11 ships being built in Austrian and Hungarian yards between 1905 and 1909. A replacement ship was built when the lead ship was lost in an accident in 1908, and another ship of similar design building for the Chinese navy was seized on the outbreak of the First World War. Two ships were lost during the war, a single ship serving with the Greek Navy following the end of the war, and the remainder being scrapped.

title: Republic of Korea Navy

text: On 12 July 2005, ROKS "Dokdo" (LPH 6111), the lead ship of her class, was launched at the shipyard of Hanjin Heavy Industries in Busan. The first air cushion landing craft of LSF-II (ROKS "Solgae 631") was delivered for ROKS "Dokdo" in April 2007. In October 2009, the ROK Navy revealed that it plans to commission a new 14,500-ton (full displacement 18,800 tons) LPX around 2018. The "Marado" (LPH 6112) was launched in May 2018.The ROK Navy is considering to build an uncertain number of amphibious assault ships capable of operating the F-35B.The ROKN plans to build and commission an uncertain number of minelayers similar to ROKS "Wonsan" (MLS 560). The lead ship, ROKS "Nampo" (MLS 570), was commissioned in 2017.The ROKN plans to build and commission an uncertain number of mine countermeasure ships similar to the "Yangyang" class. MSH phase 2 has been delayed.The ROK Navy plans to commission a new 4,500-ton training ship (ATX) for midshipmen and officer candidates. The "Hansando" (ATH 81) was launched on November 16, 2018. She was designed as a training ship, and casualty receiving and treatment ship (CRTS). The "Hansando" is expected to be commissioned in 2021The ROKN plans to commission an uncertain number of 12,000-ton fast combat support ships (AOE) to relieve the 9,000-ton "Cheonji"-class ships. The lead ship, ROKS "Soyang" (AOE 51), was commissioned in 2018.The ROK Navy plans to commission a new submarine rescue ship around 2022. Daewoo S&ME will build the ship.

title: List of United States Navy ships

text: List of United States Navy ships is a comprehensive listing of all ships that have been in service to the United States Navy during the history of that service. The US Navy maintains its official list of ships past and present at the Naval Vessel Register (NVR), although it does not include early vessels. The NVR "US Navy Inactive Classification Symbols" is a concise list of inactive definitions. The "Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships" includes much detail on historical ships, and was used as the basis for many of Wikipedia's ship articles.

title: Tacoma-class frigate

text: In 1942, the success of German submarines against Allied shipping and the shortage of escorts with which to protect Allied sea lines of communication convinced US President Franklin D. Roosevelt of a need to engage mercantile shipbuilders in the construction of warships for escort duty. The United States Maritime Commission (MARCOM), which oversaw the wartime merchant shipbuilding program, proposed to meet this requirement by building a version of the British River-class frigate, a Royal Navy ship type based on a mercantile design in British shipyards experienced in building commercial ships. Two River-class ships under construction in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, as (for the Royal Navy) and (for the Royal Canadian Navy), were transferred to the US Navy in 1942, prior to completion, as prototypes for the "Tacoma" class and became the and , respectively.
