Node (computer science) A node is a basic unit of a data structure, such as a linked list or tree data structure. Nodes contain data and also may link to other nodes. Links between nodes are often implemented by pointers . In graph theory, the image provides a simplified view of a network, where each of the numbers represents a different node.
The ROM is the IC on the right labeled "MX23C1603-12A". Read-only memory ( ROM) is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices. Data stored in ROM cannot be electronically modified after the manufacture of the memory device.
XLR3 cable connectors female (left) and male. The XLR connector is a type of electrical connector primarily used in professional audio, video, and stage lighting equipment. XLR connectors are cylindrical, with three to seven connector pins, and are often employed for analog balanced audio interconnections, AES3 digital audio, portable intercom, DMX512 lighting control, and for low-voltage ...
A peripheral is a hardware component that is accessible to and controlled by a computer but is not a core component of the computer. A peripheral can be categorized based on the direction in which information flows relative to the computer: The computer receives data from an input device; examples: mouse, keyboard, scanner, game controller ...
SEAC ( Standards Eastern Automatic Computer [1] or Standards Electronic Automatic Computer) [2] was a first-generation electronic computer, built in 1950 by the U.S. National Bureau of Standards (NBS) and was initially called the National Bureau of Standards Interim Computer, because it was a small-scale computer designed to be built quickly ...
Non-maskable interrupt. In computing, a non-maskable interrupt ( NMI) is a hardware interrupt that standard interrupt-masking techniques in the system cannot ignore. It typically occurs to signal attention for non-recoverable hardware errors. Some NMIs may be masked, but only by using proprietary methods specific to the particular NMI.
A computer terminal is an electronic or electromechanical hardware device that can be used for entering data into, and transcribing [1] data from, a computer or a computing system. [2] Most early computers only had a front panel to input or display bits and had to be connected to a terminal to print or input text through a keyboard.
An application programming interface ( API) is a way for two or more computer programs or components to communicate with each other. It is a type of software interface, offering a service to other pieces of software. [1] A document or standard that describes how to build or use such a connection or interface is called an API specification.
