  Computer software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Program software performs the function of the program it implements, either by directly providing instructions to the computer hardware or by serving as input to another piece of software.
Software has historically been considered an interface between hardware and data; more specifically it has been considered to be an interface composed of a binary representation of electronics readable code or logic.
Software is created with programming languages and related utilities, which may come in several of the above forms: single programs like script interpreters, packages containing a compiler, linker, and other tools; and large suites (often called Integrated Development Environments) that include editors, debuggers, and other tools for multiple languages.

 Computer software
Software can implement a computer program; such software performs the function of the program it implements, either by directly providing instructions to the computer hardware or by serving as input to another piece of software.
Software is often contrasted with hardware, which is the physical substrate on which software exists.

Computer software (or simply software) refers to one or more computer programs and data held in the storage of a computer for some purpose.
The term software was first used in this sense by John W. Tukey in 1957; colloquially, the term is often used to mean application software.

 Berkeley Software Distribution - the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) is the UNIX derivative distributed bythe University of California,Berkeley starting in the 1970s.
The Second Berkeley Software Distribution (2BSD), released in 1978,included updated versions of the 1BSD software as well as two new programs by Joy that persist on Unix systems to this day: thevi text editor (a visual version of ex)and the C shell.
By integratingsockets with the UNIX operating system file descriptors, users of their library found it almost as easy to read and write dataacross the network, as it was to put data on a disk.

 Articles - Open source   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Software licenses define specific grants or restrictions on usage, modification and redistribution, and several open-source software licenses have qualified within the boundary of the OSD, like the popular GNU General Public License (GPL).
The Free Software Foundation (FSF), started in 1985, intended the word 'free' to mean "free as in free speech" and not "free as in free beer." Since a great deal of free software already was (and still is) free of charge, such free software became associated with zero cost, which seemed anti-commercial.
Free software advocates, however, would argue that "freedom" is a paramount merit that one should prefer (or at least weigh heavily) even in cases where proprietary software has some superior technical features.

 Black Belt Itanium® 2 Processor Performance: The Foundation (Part 1 of 5) - Intel® Software Network   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
To comprehend the critical importance of the pointer disambiguation on Itanium processors, it is essential to understand the role of loop independence to achieving high performance.
The net result is we have hidden the L2 cache latency by using the rotating registers to software pipeline the loads, using 6 iterations of rotation to hide the latency.
Here we used the rotating register and the software pipelining to absorb the 6 cycle latency of each of the two FP loads and the 4 cycles of the fma.

Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) is the name of the UNIX derivative distributed in the 1970s from the University of California, Berkeley.
Eventually, the systems that Berkeley students had developed for their research had replaced almost every component of the ATandT UNIX system, and in the early 1990s the full Berkeley source code was released to the public under the BSD License.

This means that the compiler never concerns itself with pointer disambiguation unless the user explicitly declares that data spaces are aliased to each other with an "equivalence" declaration.
The situation is exactly the opposite in C and C++ where it is assumed as part of the language standard that pointers alias to each other, and the compiler must assume that the data areas that pointers reference will overlap in some manner.
A small degree of software pipelining is possible with speculative loads but the depth of the pipeline is very limited as is the resulting performance.

System software includes the basic input-output system (often described as firmware rather than software), device drivers, an operating system, and typically a graphical user interface which, in total, allow a user to interact with the computer and its peripherals (associated equipment).
System software often comes bundled with the computer, and users may not realize that it exists.
Application software allows a user to accomplish one or more specific tasks, like office suites and video games.

Various software techniques can be applied to increase instruction-level parallelism.
This paper describes and evaluates a software technique, dynamic memory disambiguation, that permits loops containing stores to be scheduled more aggressively, thereby exposing more instruction-level parallelism.
The results of our evaluation show that when dynamic memory disambiguation is applied in conjunction with loop unrolling, register renaming and static memory disambiguation, the ILP of memory-intensive benchmarks can be increaed by as much as 300 percent over loops where only loop unrolling, register renaming and static memory disambiguation has been performed.
