ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE: The language of low-level computer programming. Assembly language to interact directly with computer hardware.
BASIC: Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. High-level programming language. In 1964, John and Thomas Kurtz designing Kemeney BASIC as a programming language that is easy to learn. Because of its simplicity, BASIC programming language was quickly accepted as the microcomputer.
Benchmark TEST: a series of tests performed on the system or computer software fatherly measure performance compared to systems or other similar software.
BIOS: Basic Input-Output System. Part of a particular operating system, such as CP / M and DOS consisting of drivers and other software designed to manage peripheral devices, such as monitors, disk drives, and printers.
BIT: short for "binary digit". The smallest unit of information that can be stored computer. Bit can be either value 1 or 0. Eight bits equals one byte.
BUG: programming error that can cause a program or system to function incorrectly or crash (not used).
BUNDLE: sales practices and the application of computers together in a promotional effort.
BUS: groove is used to distribute data on a computer. The bus is a set of electrical or electronic connection between the microprocessor and other hardware, such as disk drives, logic boards, etc..
BYTE: the size of computer memory or disk capacity. One byte with eight bits and can store one ASCII character, which can include numbers, letters, or punctuation.
CD-ROM: Compact Disk read-only memory. Optical storage systems that can record the information permanently on a Compact Disk (very similar to the disks used for music), and then publish it on the computer screen.
CGA: Color Graphics Adapter. Standard color screen which IBM introduced in 1981. CGA circuit board allows the monitor to display the four-color 320 X 200 pixels. In 1984, EGA (standard higher resolution) replaces the CGA standard.
CHIP: the unofficial name for the integrated circuit. Example: view the microprocessor.
COBOL: Common Business-Oriented Language. High-level programming language designed for business applications. COBOL is the language most widely used to program applications for mainframes since the 1960s.
CP / M: Control Program / Microcomputer. One of the first microcomputer operating system.
DISK: also called a diskette; magnetic storage media is the most commonly used for microcomputers. "Floppy Disk" to a diameter of 5 or 3. Program applications are packaged and sold in the diskette, and store user data on the diskette.
DISK DRIVE: A tool for call information from or recording information to disk. The computer can have one or more disk drives. Disk drives can be installed as well as peripheral devices.
DOS: Disk Operating-System. The name that is usually used to refer to the MS-DOS (Microsoft products) or PC-DOS (IBM's adaptation of the MS-DOS). DOS operating system became the most widely used for IBM-compatible computers.
EGA: Enchanced Graphics Adapter. Standard view higher resolution than CGA. EGA resolution is 640 X 350 in 16 colors. In 1987, replaced by a standard VGA EGA.
FORTRAN: Formula Translation. Programming language developed in 1956 by John Backus at IBM, is mainly used to deal with scientific and mathematical formulas.
Graphical User Interface (GUI): The method for displaying text and graphics on a computer screen through the image and the image formed by a pattern of dots.
HARD DISK: magnetic storage media made of iron. Hard disk offers storage capacity lebi information than the floppy disk and can be directly installed on the computer.
HIGH-LEVEL LANGUAGE: programming languages - such as BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, Pascal, etc.. - That allow programmers to write instructions with sentences similar to the English language daily to control the computer.
Kilobyte (K): unit of measure of computer memory. A K equal to 1024 (210) bytes.
LOW-LEVEL LANGUAGE: programming languages, such as assembly language, which is one more step away from the machine instructions that can be understood microprocessor. The language is very different from English daily and requires technical knowledge of high level hardware.
MCA: Micro Channel Architecture. Multitasking 32-bit bus introduced by IBM in 1987 PS/2-nya computer. This bus does not support the expansion card is made for PCs before.
Megabyte (MB): unit of measure of computer memory. One megabyte equal to 1,024 kilobytes.
MICROPROSSESOR: Central Prossesing Unit (CPU) on a micro computer. The microprocessor is the integrated circuit or chip in the computer's main circuit board. The microprocessor uses to regulate the electrical conduction of computer work.
MODEM: a device for delivering data from one computer to another via a telecommunications line.
Multitasking: the operating system is the method used to carry out some operations in bersamaaan. With a multitasking system, the user can print a document, working on a worksheet, and receiving data from a modem at the same time.
OPERATING SYSTEM: a program that became the basis for the functioning of a computer. The operating system determines how to handle the data when inserted into or retrieved from memory and set all the basic functions of computers.
PASCAL: high-level programming language developed by Nicklas Wirth. Pascal is widely used for teaching computer science.
PIXEL: short for picture element, each point that forms an image on a video screen.
RAM: Random-Access Memory. RAM usually refers to computer memory that stores information temporarily.
ROM: Read-Only Memory. The information is permanently recorded and can be read by a computer but can not be changed by the user.
VGA: Video Graphics Array. Color graphic standard introduced by IBM with the PS / 2 their
WINDOW: on the Macintosh or Microsoft Windows computers, for example, is a rectangular area on a computer screen that displays a document or application being berjalan.window also can display the contents of a floppy disk or hard drive. Users can open or close the window, resize, and move it to another spot on the screen in question. Users can open several windows at once and the window-window may overlap, depending on the system. The concept was originally developed in the windowXerox and the first commercial use is on a Macintosh computer.
Windowing ENVIRONMENT: software that allows multiple programs or DOS on IBM PC compatibles, for example, opened and run simultaneously on a separate window.
