To prepare a machine-language program from a symbolic language program by substituting absolute operation codes for symbolic operation codes and absolute or relocatable addresses for symbolic addresses.
Industry:Semiconductors
A field that contains a resource-table index, a sequence number, and a resource-type code; it identifies a kernel resource such as a port, semaphore, or task.
Industry:Semiconductors
A set of instructions written to perform a task; a computer program or part of a program.
Industry:Semiconductors
A signal sent by hardware or software to a processor requesting attention. An interrupt tells the processor to suspend its current operation, save the current task status, and perform a particular set of instructions.
Interrupts communicate with the operating system and prioritize tasks to be performed.
Industry:Semiconductors
A fixed or invariable value or data item that can be used as an operand.
Industry:Semiconductors
A fixed-size structure at the beginning of a message buffer that contains the information that describes the message, its destination port, and so on, to the kernel functions that handle the message.
Industry:Semiconductors
A small area of high speed memory, located within a processor or electronic device, that is used for temporarily storing data or instructions.
Each register is given a name, contains a few bytes of information, and is referenced by programs.
Industry:Semiconductors
A small computer system interface (SCSI) device (usually a host computer) that requests another SCSI device to take an action.
Industry:Semiconductors
A software program that combines object files to form an object module that can be allocated into system memory and executed by the device.
