The warp are held taut and in parallel order by means of a loom.
The raising/lowering sequence of warp threads gives rise to many possible weave structures from the simplest plain weave (also called tabby), through twills and satins to complex computer-generated interlacings.
The yarn that is attached to the loom is called the warp, and the woof or weft is woven through it.

 warp - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about warp   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The basic process involves the interlacing at right angles of vertical threads (the warp) and horizontal threads (the weft).
The weft is traditionally carried across from one side of the loom to the other by a type of bobbin called a shuttle, and weaves in and out of the warp, creating the fabric.
In the handloom era the Jacquard machine, the last in a series of inventions for producing complicated designs, was perfected by French inventor Joseph Jacquard in the early 19th century.

 Carpet - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
On a knotted pile carpet (formally, a supplementary weft cut-loop pile carpet), the structural weft threads alternate with a supplementary weft that rises from the surface of the weave at a perpendicular angle.
This supplementary weft is attached to the warp by one of three knot types (see below) to form the pile or nap of the carpet.
This form of carpeting, made as early as the 16th century, is constructed on a mechanized loom like velvet: the supplementary warps loop under the weft and are attached without forming a knot.

 Warped Reality
Warp Records is a pioneering independent UK record label, founded in Sheffield in 1989, notable for discovering some of the most enduring artists in electronic music.
Warp went on to release a series of singles and albums from 1992 under the ''Artificial Intelligence'' heading, a series of experimental electronic music releases by artists such as Aphex Twin (as Diceman and later Polygon Window), Autechre, the Black Dog, Richie Hawtin and Alex Paterson (later of the Orb).
Later artists were a similarly eclectic group, and included the influential DJ Andrew Weatherall (as Sabres of Paradise and later as Two Lone Swordsmen), Squarepusher, Plaid, Boards of Canada, Broadcast and the live sensation Red Snapper.

 [No title]
This global data flow information is used extensively by the Warp code scheduler; the information supports the massive code motions between basic blocks that are necessary to generate efficient code for the highly pipelined Warp processors.
For the set of programs that was used to evaluate the Warp machine@cite(warp#tc), we measured that global flow analysis takes between 10% and 50% (and 40% on average) of the total time needed to build the flow graph.
When we retargeted the code generator for the Integrated Warp System (a single-chip VLSI implementation of the Warp cell with a completely different architecture), the flow analyzer required no changes and is shared by both compilers.

 Loom - Avoo - Ask Us A Question - A loom is a machine or device for weaving thread or yarn into textiles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In practice, the basic purpose of any loom is to hold the warp threads under tension to facilitate the interweaving of the weft threads.
The weaver would have to lean over in order to work, so pit looms were developed, with the warp strung over a pit, so the weaver could sit with his or her legs underneath and would then be on a level with the loom.
As the fabric is woven it is rolled around the cloth beam, as unwoven warp or yarn is unrolled from the warp beam, so the length of the weaving is not limited by the size of the loom.

 Phoenix - Memory Alpha - A Wikia wiki
Constructed from an old Titan V nuclear missile, the Phoenix was the brainchild of Zefram Cochrane, and the first vessel in Earth history to travel at warp velocities.
After separating from its launch vehicle, the Phoenix extended its nacelles and engaged the warp drive, crossing the warp threshold which attracted the attention of a passing Vulcan ship, the T'Plana-Hath (this encounter lead to the event known as "First Contact").
The vessel remained at warp for approximately one minute before returning to sublight speeds, and heading back to Earth.

It'll show up on the system map (although as Hoshi notes don't try warping to it, it just takes you to the first result on the list which is usually a shuttle), so figure out where it is and try to see how close you can get.
Many sites won't spawn unless you warp into the grid they're in, and as you can't use the directional scanner to find them, if you land in a different grid 400km away you're basically screwed.

The warp's many threads are held taut and in parallel order by means of a loom.
By spacing the warp more closely, it can completely cover the weft that binds it, giving a ''warpfaced'' textile.
Traditionally, one end of the warp was tucked into, or wrapped around the weaver's belt, and the other is looped over a toe, or tied to a pole or furniture.

 Starfleet
In the Star Trek fictional universe, Starfleet is the military defense, research, diplomacy, and exploration force of the United Federation of Planets (UFP) with – as of the late 24th century – hundreds of starships and starbases at its disposal.
During the production of Enterprise, some larger Starfleet insignia designs included the script "United Earth Space Probe Agency" to pay homage to the original series and explain away the contradiction of competing agencies by implying they are, in fact, the same organization, which serves as the exploration arm of the United Federation of Planets.
Since Cochrane's first warp flight in 2063, Earth had founded a few colonies in nearby star systems and established trade routes with a few species, such as the Vulcans and Denobulans, the latter serving as administrators of an asteroid medical research complex that housed the remaining Augment embryos from the days of the Eugenics Wars.

This operation is either used to disambiguate array references whenever necessary @cite(vliw#compiler), or to systematically check for dependencies by comparing @i(every) pair of statements inside a nested loop @cite(allenr#thesis).
This approach to dependency analysis is different from the approach used for scalars: in scalar analysis, data flow information is propagated through all basic blocks of the program, based on a set of flow equations that capture the behavior of the statements.
We then describe how the algorithm is used in the compiler for the Warp processor: we describe how the information on dependencies is inserted in the program representation, and we discuss how the optimizer and the scheduler uses the dependency information.
