Topic: Functional unit

	SEED
		A massing is a functional unit that specifies a collection of spatial units to be allocated in a state.
		The context imposes restrictions on the allocation of the functional unit that are not implied by the constraints and criteria associated with as functional unit.
		A test is a constraint or criterion associated with a functional unit together with a method to test the degree to which the constraint or criterion is satisfied in a state containing the unit.

	Enterprise .NET Community: Unit Testing in .NET
		Each individual unit of functionality (method) is tested, in isolation where possible, to make sure that the individual building blocks of your application are solid.
		Unit tests are most valuable when they expose flaws and inconsistency in the code base; in order to do that, you should contemplate the common conditions that could exist during the execution of the method under test.
		Well-written unit tests are as good or better than well-written comments for documenting code, as they clearly express the intended uses of the different units of functionality.

	IBM 2250 Display Unit
		The IBM 2250 Display Unit, Model 4 (Figure 68) is a cathode-ray tube display unit that attaches to the IBM 1130 Computing System.
		Units that operate synchronously with the CPU are assigned higher cycle-steal priority than the 2250, eliminating 2250 interference with synchronous operations.
		All programmed function indicators are turned off by a power-on reset (generated when 1130 power is turned on) and by a manual reset (generated when the 1131 reset push button is pressed).

	Processor pipeline description - GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) Internals
		Each processor functional unit used in the description of instruction reservations should be described by the following construction.
		The assignment of units to automata are constrained by the uses of the units in insn reservations.
		The most important constraint is: if a unit reservation is present on a particular cycle of an alternative for an insn reservation, then some unit from the same automaton must be present on the same cycle for the other alternatives of the insn reservation.

	Testing, fun? Really?
		Unit tests are written from a programmer's perspective.
		If a unit test is fragile (that is, it is a valid test but it has to change continually to handle different user permutations), it might be a functional test.
		There is a line between unit tests and functional tests, but you have to decide where the line is. The more comfortable you get with unit tests, the clearer it will be when a particular test is crossing the line from unit to functional.

	One business continuity plan or many minis?
		Functional unit plans are intended to be (almost) stand-alone, self-contained plans which are complete mini-business continuity plans.
		The functional unit business continuity program manager (or similar full-time or part-time title) both declares an event and the stand-down when the business as usual is restored and, if necessary, all set aside (low priority) work is caught up.
		Rolling up each functional unit into a higher level business continuity plan assures that all inter-dependencies and their associated risks are identified and that means are found to avoid or mitigate the risks.

	GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) Internals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		If we use more than one automaton and bind functional units to the automata, the summary size of the automata usually is less than the size of the single automaton.
		Functional unit names and reservation names are in the same name space.
		All functional units mentioned in a set should belong to the same automaton.

	Serial-parallel data transfer system for VLSI data paths - Patent 4641276
		Each functional unit is provided with a respective data register, the registers being adapted to receive information in parallel from and/or transfer information in parallel to their respective functional units.
		Data transfer from one functional unit to another is accomplished by transferring a data word in parallel to a source register from its respective functional unit, serially shifting data from the source register to a destination register and parallelly transferring the data word from the destination register to its respective functional unit.
		Controlling means are provided to control the transfer of data between each of the functional units on the semiconductor chip by controlling the parallel transfer of data between registers and their respective functional units and controlling the serial transfer of data between registers.

	Luria's Functional Units (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		He called these groupings "functional units" (as opposed to anatomical units), and noted that there were three functional units.
		Connections from the first functional unit upwards to numerous cortical and subcortical areas of the brain usually provide increased activation of those parts.
		The first functional unit is also responsible for basic need states (hunger, sleepiness, fight/flight response), and emotions such as fear or rage.

	CS 473 - CDC 6600
		This series of timers is called the "timing chain" (demonstrating that somebody at CDC had a sense of humor -- a timing chain is the part of an automobile engine that synchronizes the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves, and the firing of the ignition spark, with the turning of the crankshaft).
		Functional unit entries mark whether there is an instruction pending for the functional unit (and what it is), which registers are reserved by each functional unit for input, and whether the data is available in them, like this:
		when the functional unit has completed the instruction, it checks to see if it can write its output to its result register (this is impossible if the register is reserved as a source by another functional unit, and that functional unit already has it marked as available -- "third order" conflict -- WAR hazard).

	Software Architecture of the Mark-II Performance Simulator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Issue Unit figure out from each of the functional units how long it has to stall before it can issue the next instruction in the queue to the particular issue unit.
		This can then be used by the memory functional unit to stall the issue unit and the other units.
		By the next meeting we plan to have working versions of all the functional units, and we should be ready to begin collecting performance results and correlating them to results from the old performance simulator.

	SIMD datapath coupled to scalar/vector/address/conditional data register file with selective subpath scalar processing ...
		The preferred slot could be any of the functional units, by either defining them as preferred slot, or by means of dynamically determining a preferred slot, either by setting a control register, specifying a slot in the instruction word, or by determining it using any other means, e.g., by the issue unit at issue time.
		Selected functional units can be enabled or disabled in accordance with the invention by enabling or disabling the clock input for the functional unit, or, in an alternative embodiment, by disabling the power input for the functional unit.
		The ETL unit generates an enabling output which is used to enable or disable the clock (or power input) signal for the associated functional units, depending on whether they will be utilized to process the current instruction.

	Designing Multifunction Devices for Windows Operating Systems
		Each functional unit must be able to operate as a separate device, even if it happens to be serviced by an instance of the same driver(s) as another functional unit on the device.
		The operation of one functional unit must not affect or interfere with the operation of another functional unit on the multifunction device or on the system as a whole.
		Each functional unit must be enumerated and its resource requirements communicated to the operating system so the system can load the necessary drivers and assign resources to the different units in any order.

	ECE 743 Power Aware Computing Project:
		Since clock adjustments for the functional units are currently solely based on queue length, it can cause inefficient use of resources by speeding up functional units whose queues are filled with instructions waiting for dependencies.
		In milestone 3, we concentrate on enhancing the DVS algorithm for functional units that is proposed by [1] to account for data dependencies.
		Thus if a functional unit (FU) has a large number of instructions in its issue queue, it indicates that there are a large number of instructions waiting for it and hence it probably lies on the critical path of instruction flow.

	Wall unit too functional to live without Chicago Sun-Times - Find Articles
		We are willing to sacrifice the wall unit and replace it with something more appropriate if that would improve the layout.
		The many openings and access points to and from the room are problematic, but happily they are also located along only two walls-- from the living room to the garage, and from the living room to the kitchen/patio doors.
		This is not an ideal location for the wall unit, because a major traffic path cuts directly in front of it, but it is the best option.

	Functional Affirmative Action Plan (FAAP)
		For the second round, which began in January 2005, one function was selected per contractor with a FAAP Agreement that had been place for 120 days.
		Since a functional unit's managers, employees, and personnel records can be spread widely across a region or even the entire country, OFCCP may need to travel to more than one contractor facility to conduct an onsite review.
		Thus, a functional unit would not be selected for a compliance evaluation for 24 months or longer following the date of closure letter.

	Execution unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer engineering, an execution unit is a part of a CPU that performs the operations and calculations called for by the program.
		It may have its own internal control sequence unit (not to be confused with the CPUs main control unit), some registers, and other internal units such as a sub-ALU or FPU, or some smaller, more specific components.
		It is commonplace for modern CPUs to have multiple parallel execution units, referred to as scalar or superscalar design.

	Execution unit Summary
		A functional unit is one of the many individual, but interconnected, hardware and software components (processing units) within the central processing unit (CPU) that as a unified group carries out the functions of the CPU.
		Some of the functional units within a CPU that enable it to perform its functions are: (1) The arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) performs arithmetic and logic functions (operations) on binary numbers (0 and 1).
		More functional units are: (8) The stack pointer is used as an index register when pushing data onto the stack.

	Quality of Macromolecular Models
		Beyond the technical methods sections of a paper, in the interpretations and discussions of the meaning of the newly published model, authors are careful to describe the functional form of the substance under study (if it is known), and this is the form that holds the most interest for users.
		As mentioned earlier, the asymmetric unit may be only a part of the functional unit.
		The symmetry of functional macromolecular complexes in solution is sometimes important to understanding their functions, as in the binding of regulatory proteins having twofold rotational symmetry to palindromic DNA sequences.
