High-performance, computation-intensive applications can benefit from parallel DSP architectures that are much faster than their general-purpose microprocessor equivalents.
Discrete-event simulation lets you predict system performance of "Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks"--small disks grouped together forming the virtual image of larger disks.
WISC computers borrow from the best of their RISC and CISC counterparts.
RISC processors present programming challenges, particularly in terms of fast floating-point events.
Ted and Dennis review B-tree concepts, then summarize their investigation into a simpler, more efficient approach to managing B-trees.
One of the unique aspects of the Infolio portable pen-based computer is that it's built around microcontrollers typically used with embedded systems.
Al uses Intel's C CodeBuilder--and its royalty-free DOS extender--to develop a disk duplication program that stores images of floppy disks entirely in memory.
Explore the mysteries of Microsoft's SMARTDrive--the disk cache that's included with Windows 3, MS compilers, and MS-DOS.
Tiny BASIC put Tom Pittman on the front lines of the PC revolution.
This month's D-Flat discussion is on the EDITBOX window class.
Jeff explores event-driven programming, zeroing in on "focused" and broadcast events.
Michael moves into 3-D animation, starting with basic polygon fills and page flips.
Polya's How to Solve It presents a problem-solving method invaluable to all programmers.
