Port (logiciel)Dans la suite des protocoles Internet et correspondant à la couche de transport du modèle OSI, la notion de port logiciel permet, sur un ordinateur donné, de distinguer différents interlocuteurs. Ces interlocuteurs sont des programmes informatiques qui, selon les cas, écoutent ou émettent des informations sur ces ports. Un port est distingué par son numéro. Le terme port est aussi parfois utilisé pour désigner les sockets (interfaces de connexion), un concept sensiblement différent.
EmbodimentL'embodiment (ou cognition incarnée) est un concept issu de la psychologie cognitive. Il fait référence aux pensées (cognition), aux sentiments (émotion) et aux comportements (corps) basés sur nos expériences sensorielles et sur nos positions corporelles. Dans la pratique, il est utilisé pour penser des aspects généralement associés à notre vie quotidienne, tels que notre façon de bouger, de parler et de se développer.
First Draft of a Report on the EDVACThe First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC (commonly shortened to First Draft) is an incomplete 101-page document written by John von Neumann and distributed on June 30, 1945 by Herman Goldstine, security officer on the classified ENIAC project. It contains the first published description of the logical design of a computer using the stored-program concept, which has come to be known as the von Neumann architecture; the name has become controversial due to von Neumann's failure to name other contributors.
Atlas (computer)The Atlas Computer was one of the world's first supercomputers, in use from 1962 (when it was claimed to be the most powerful computer in the world) to 1972. Atlas' capacity promoted the saying that when it went offline, half of the United Kingdom's computer capacity was lost. It is notable for being the first machine with virtual memory (at that time referred to as 'one-level store') using paging techniques; this approach quickly spread, and is now ubiquitous. Atlas was a second-generation computer, using discrete germanium transistors.
