  2. Alan Turing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing

    English Heritage plaque in Maida Vale, London marking Turing's birthplace in 1912. Turing was born in Maida Vale, London, while his father, Julius Mathison Turing, was on leave from his position with the Indian Civil Service (ICS) of the British Raj government at Chatrapur, then in the Madras Presidency and presently in Odisha state, in India.

  3. Computer program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_program

    The technology became known as Programmable ROM. In 1971, Intel installed the computer program onto the chip and named it the Intel 4004 microprocessor. [35] IBM's System/360 (1964) CPU was not a microprocessor. The terms microprocessor and central processing unit (CPU) are now used interchangeably. However, CPUs predate microprocessors.

  4. Programmable logic device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_logic_device

    A programmable logic array (PLA) has a programmable AND gate array, which links to a programmable OR gate array, which can then be conditionally complemented to produce an output. A PLA is similar to a ROM concept, however a PLA does not provide full decoding of a variable and does not generate all the minterms as in a ROM.

  5. API - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API

    In building applications, an API simplifies programming by abstracting the underlying implementation and only exposing objects or actions the developer needs. While a graphical interface for an email client might provide a user with a button that performs all the steps for fetching and highlighting new emails, an API for file input/output might give the developer a function that copies a file ...

  6. CRISPR gene editing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR_gene_editing

    CRISPR-Cas9. CRISPR gene editing (CRISPR, pronounced / ˈ k r ɪ s p ə r / "crisper", refers to "clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats") is a genetic engineering technique in molecular biology by which the genomes of living organisms may be modified.

  7. Assembly language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language

    In computer programming, assembly language (alternatively assembler language [1] or symbolic machine code), [2] [3] [4] often referred to simply as assembly and commonly abbreviated as ASM or asm, is any low-level programming language with a very strong correspondence between the instructions in the language and the architecture's machine code instructions. [5]

  8. Programmable interrupt controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_interrupt...

    In computing, a programmable interrupt controller (PIC) is an integrated circuit that helps a microprocessor (or CPU) handle interrupt requests (IRQs) coming from multiple different sources (like external I/O devices) which may occur simultaneously. [1]
