Binary logarithms
(gcide)
Logarithm \Log"a*rithm\ (l[o^]g"[.a]*r[i^][th]'m), n. [Gr.
lo`gos word, account, proportion + 'ariqmo`s number: cf. F.
logarithme.] (Math.)
One of a class of auxiliary numbers, devised by John Napier,
of Merchiston, Scotland (1550-1617), to abridge arithmetical
calculations, by the use of addition and subtraction in place
of multiplication and division.

Note: The relation of logarithms to common numbers is that of
numbers in an arithmetical series to corresponding
numbers in a geometrical series, so that sums and
differences of the former indicate respectively
products and quotients of the latter; thus,
0 1 2 3 4 Indices or logarithms
1 10 100 1000 10,000 Numbers in geometrical progression
Hence, the logarithm of any given number is the
exponent of a power to which another given invariable
number, called the base, must be raised in order to
produce that given number. Thus, let 10 be the base,
then 2 is the logarithm of 100, because 10^2 = 100,
and 3 is the logarithm of 1,000, because 10^3 =
1,000.
[1913 Webster]

Arithmetical complement of a logarithm, the difference
between a logarithm and the number ten.

(ABI) The interface by which an {application
program} gains access to operating system and other
services. It should be possible to run the same compiled
binary applications on any system with the right ABI.

Examples are 88open's Binary Compatibility Standard, the
PowerOpen Environment and Windows sockets.

BCD
packed decimal

(BCD, packed decimal) A number representation where a
number is expressed as a sequence of decimal digits and then
each decimal digit is encoded as a four-bit binary number (a
nibble). E.g. decimal 92 would be encoded as the eight-bit
sequence 1001 0010.

In some cases, the right-most nibble contains the sign
(positive or negative).

It is easier to convert decimal numbers to and from BCD than
binary and, though BCD is often converted to binary for
arithmetic processing, it is possible to build hardware that
operates directly on BCD.

binary counter

A digital circuit which has a clock
input and a number of count outputs which give the number of
clock cycles. The output may change either on rising or
falling clock edges. The circuit may also have a reset input
which sets all outputs to zero when asserted. The counter may
be either a synchronous counter or a ripple counter.

binary data

binary file
binaries
binary data

Any file format for digital data that does
not consist of a sequence of printable characters (text).
The term is often used for executable machine code.

All digital data, including characters, is actually binary
data (unless it uses some (rare) system with more than two
discrete levels) but the distinction between binary and text
is well established. On modern operating systems a text
file is simply a binary file that happens to contain only
printable characters, but some older systems distinguish the
two file types, requiring programs to handle them differently.

A common class of binary files is programs in {machine
language} ("executable files") ready to load into memory and
execute. Binary files may also be used to store data output
by a program, and intended to be read by that or another
program but not by humans. Binary files are more efficient
for this purpose because the data (e.g. numerical data) does
not need to be converted between the binary form used by the
CPU and a printable (ASCII) representation. The
disadvantage is that it is usually necessary to write special
purpose programs to manipulate such files since most general
purpose utilities operate on text files. There is also a
problem sharing binary numerical data between processors with
different endianness.

Some communications protocols handle only text files,
e.g. most electronic mail systems before MIME became
widespread in about 1995. The FTP utility must be put into
"binary" mode in order to copy a binary file since in its
default "ascii" mode translates between the different
newline characters used on the sending and receiving
computers.

Confusingly, some word processor files, and rich text
files, are actually binary files because they contain
non-printable characters and require special programs to view,
edit and print them.

binary prefix
(foldoc)
binary prefix

(Or "IEC prefix") A prefix used with a unit of data to
mean multiplication by a power of 1024. Binary prefixes are most
often used with "byte" (e.g. "kilobyte") but also with bit
(e.g. "megabit").

For example, the term kilobyte has historically been used to
mean 1024 bytes, and megabyte to mean 1,048,576 bytes. The
multipliers 1024 and 1,048,576 are powers of 1024, which is itself
a power of two (1024 = 2^10). It is this factor of two that gives
the name "binary prefix".

This is in contrast to a decimal prefix denoting a power of
1000, which is itself a power of ten (1000 = 10^3). Decimal
prefixes are used in science and engineering and are specified in
widely adopted SI standards. Note that the actual prefix - kilo
or mega - is the same, it is the interpretation that differs.

The difference between the two interpretations increases with each
multiplication, so while 1000 and 1024 differ by only 2.4%, 1000^6
and 1024^6 differ by 15%.

The 1024-based interpretation of prefixes is often still used
informally and especially when discussing the storage capacity of
random-access memory. This has lead to storage device
manufacturers being accused of false marketing for using the
decimal interpretation where customers might assume the larger,
historical, binary interpretation.

In an attempt to clarify the distinction, in 1998 the IEC
specified that kilobyte, megabyte, etc. should only be used for
powers of 1000 (following SI). They specified new prefixes for
powers of 1024 containing "bi" for "binary": kibibyte,
mebibyte, etc.; an idea originally propsed by IUPAC. IEC also
specified new abbreviations Ki, Mi, etc. for the new prefixes.
Many other standards bodies such as NIST, IEEE and BIPM
support this proposal but as of 2013 its use is rare in
non-technical circles.

bisync

(Bisynch) An IBM link protocol, developed in
the 1960 and popular in the 1970s and 1980s.

Binary Synchronous Transmission has been largely replaced in
IBM environments with SDLC. Bisync was developed for
batch communications between a System 360 computer and the
IBM 2780 and 3780 Remote Job Entry (RJE) terminals. It
supports RJE and on-line terminals in the CICS/VSE
environment. It operates with EBCDIC or ASCII {character
sets}. It requires that every message be acknowledged (ACK)
or negatively acknowledged (NACK) so it has high
transmission overhead. It is typically character oriented and
half-duplex, although some of the bisync protocol flavours
or dialects support binary transmission and full-duplex
operation.

EBCDIC

/eb's*-dik/, /eb'see`dik/, /eb'k*-dik/,
/ee`bik'dik`/, /*-bik'dik`/ (EBCDIC) A proprietary 8-bit
character set used on IBM dinosaurs, the AS/400, and
e-Server.

EBCDIC is an extension to 8 bits of BCDIC (Binary Coded
Decimal Interchange Code), an earlier 6-bit character set used
on IBM computers. EBCDIC was [first?] used on the successful
System/360, anounced on 1964-04-07, and survived for many
years despite the almost universal adoption of ASCII
elsewhere. Was this concern for backward compatibility or,
as many believe, a marketing strategy to lock in IBM
customers?

IBM created 57 national EBCDIC character sets and an
International Reference Version (IRV) based on ISO 646 (and
hence ASCII compatible). Documentation on these was not
easily accessible making international exchange of data even
between IBM mainframes a tricky task.

US EBCDIC uses more or less the same characters as ASCII,
but different code points. It has non-contiguous letter
sequences, some ASCII characters do not exist in EBCDIC
(e.g. square brackets), and EBCDIC has some (cent sign,
not sign) not in ASCII. As a consequence, the translation
between ASCII and EBCDIC was never officially completely
defined. Users defined one translation which resulted in a
so-called de-facto EBCDIC containing all the characters of
ASCII, that all ASCII-related programs use.

Some printers, telex machines, and even electronic cash
registers can speak EBCDIC, but only so they can converse with
IBM mainframes.

translation tables, see {Guidelines on 8-bit character codes

Wabi

(WABI) A software package from {Sun
Microsystems} to allow certain Microsoft Windows
applications under the X Window System. Wabi 2.2 runs under
Solaris on SPARC, Intel, and PowerPC. Wabi works by
providing translated versions of the three core Windows
libraries, user.dll, kernel.dll, and gdi.dll which
redirect Windows calls to Solaris equivalents. For code other
than core library calls Wabi either executes the instructions
directly on the hardware, if it is Intel, or emulates them,
either one instruction at a time or by translating a block of
instructions and caching the result (e.g. for a loop).

WabiServer allows the Windows application and X display to
be on different computers.
