A stored programcomputer is one which stores Instruction computer science program instructions in electronic memory. A Von Neumann architecture is a stored programcomputer in which the program data and instruction data are stored in the same memory a Harvard architecture is one which has separate memories for storing program and data. Many early computers, such as the Atanasoff Berry Computer , were not reprogrammable. They executed a single hardwired program. As there were no program instructions, no program storage was necessary. Other computers, though programmable, stored their programs on punched tape which was physically fed into the machine as needed. The University of Manchester s Small Scale Experimental Machine SSEM was the world s first stored programcomputer. The Manchester Mark 1 was another early stored programcomputer.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 In computer programming , a dumper is a program which copies data from one source usually a proprietary format to another usually in a more easily accessible format . A dumper is a program that saves data from the computer s memory, usually from a foreign process computerprogramprogram to a .dmp Computer file file . Often the process s memory is dumped automatically to disk if the program crashes. So you may recover any unsaved data from this file or send it to the developer so he can investigate what caused the crash. Another use of dumpers can be dumping Windows Exe files from memory after they have been unpacked decrypt ed for further analysis in case of malware , or after unwrapping unpacking certain security envelope s. These security envelopes are applied by the developer or software vendor to protect these applications. Usually a security envelope checks if the application has not been modified, if you are still on your evaluation period or if the original CD is inserted before it unpacks and starts the application in memory. However just dumping is not enough because structures like the imported API Call were overwritten or intentionally mangle d by the protector at the start and need to be rebuilt to get a running executable.

The software combines spreadsheet features with word processing and embedded multimedia. Documents created with RagTime can combine within a single file multilingual word processing, spreadsheets, graphics, databases, and programmable objects. The current version for Mac OS X Mac OS and Microsoft Windows Windows is 6.5.2. RagTime is also extensible via plugins. For example, geo referenced map rendering is supported using a plugin developed by a third party ref Comgrafix that reads and transforms DXF and SHAPE files and articulates them to data in a spreadsheet.

Splitting partitions is an alternative to deleting the partitions and creating new ones using software such as fdisk , the advantage of which is that the data is not lost. The most common use is installing multiple operating systems on a single computer. FIPS is free software , licensed under the GNU General Public License GPL . Limitations FIPS only works on primary partition s that are formatted using the File Allocation Table FAT file system. Most new machines with Windows pre installed use NTFS , leaving FIPS obsolete for its intended purpose of resizing existing Windows installations to install Linux. In addition, FIPS cannot grow partitions due to technical limitations with the design, and partitions shrunk with it have some wasted space since it does not shrink the File Allocation Table . The filesystem to be shrunk must also be Defragmentation defragmented before FIPS is run since FIPS does not move data, any data near the end of the partition prevents it from being resized. These limitations have caused it to be largely superseded by more modern tools with better filesystem support, more advanced resizing methods and more complete partitioning functionality, such as GNU Parted and PartitionMagic .

About the football analysis computerprogram Zeus disambiguation Orphan date February 2009 Zeus is a computerprogram developed by End Game Technologies that models and predicts the outcomes of coaching decisions in American football games. The program is designed to produce statistical outputs showing the expected odds of winning given choices of potential play calls and roster choices. It is capable of simulating 1,000,000 games in a few seconds, and was developed using extensive research on historical data from National Football League games. It expresses its output in terms of Game Winning Chance, which is the probability that the specified team will win the current game. It also evaluates its output using a range of possible worst case scenarios to determine a Confidence Factor of 1 to 10 for its results. Zeus is particularly geared toward evaluating situations where a coach has essentially two or three play decisions which the opposing team will recognize. An example would be if a team is on fourth down and short yardage, and needs to decide between trying to get first down, Punt football punting or kicking a Field goal football field goal . In such a case, Zeus will output its analysis of the game winning chance if you punt versus if you try a short yardage play or kick the field goal. Another example would be, when your team is preparing to kick off, the chance of winning if you kick off normally versus attempting an onside kick . An example of Zeus output is its analysis of Super Bowl XL between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Seattle Seahawks . Pittsburgh s play calling in binary situations exactly matched Zeus evaluation of the optimal play choice. By contrast, Seattle s play calls differed in six instances, with a combined game winning probability difference of 8.40 , meaning that Zeus estimates that if Seattle had followed its play calls exactly then Seattle ... its play calls and actual calls by coaches, the program s developers estimate that NFL teams lose ... more details
