crunch (wn) | crunch
     n 1: the sound of something crunching; "he heard the crunch of
          footsteps on the gravel path"

     3: the act of crushing [syn: crush, crunch, compaction]
     v 1: make a crushing noise; "his shoes were crunching on the

crunch (foldoc) | crunch
 
    1.  To process, usually in a time-consuming or
    complicated way.  Connotes an essentially trivial operation
    that is nonetheless painful to perform.  The pain may be due
    to the triviality's being embedded in a loop from 1 to
    1,000,000,000.  "Fortran programs do mostly {number
    crunching}."
 
    2.  To reduce the size of a file without losing
    information by a scheme such as Huffman coding.  Since such
    lossless compression usually takes more computations than
    simpler methods such as run-length encoding, the term is
    doubly appropriate.
 
    3. The hash character.  Used at XEROX and CMU, among
    other places.
 
    4. To squeeze program source to the minimum size that will
    still compile or execute.  The term came from a {BBC
    Microcomputer} program that crunched BBC BASIC source in
    order to make it run more quickly (apart from storing
    keywords as byte codes, the language was wholly interpreted,
    so the number of characters mattered).  Obfuscated C Contest
    entries are often crunched; see the first example under that
    entry.

crunch (jargon) | crunch
 
 
     1. vi. To process, usually in a time-consuming or complicated way. Connotes
     an essentially trivial operation that is nonetheless painful to perform.
     The pain may be due to the triviality's being embedded in a loop from 1 to
     1,000,000,000. “FORTRAN programs do mostly number-crunching.”
 
     2. vt. To reduce the size of a file by a complicated scheme that produces
     bit configurations completely unrelated to the original data, such as by a
     Huffman code. (The file ends up looking something like a paper document
     would if somebody crunched the paper into a wad.) Since such compression
     usually takes more computations than simpler methods such as run-length
     encoding, the term is doubly appropriate. (This meaning is usually used in
     the construction file crunch(ing) to distinguish it from {number-crunching
     }.) See compress.
 
     3. n. The character #. Used at XEROX and CMU, among other places. See {
     ASCII}.
 
     4. vt. To squeeze program source into a minimum-size representation that
     will still compile or execute. The term came into being specifically for a
     famous program on the BBC micro that crunched BASIC source in order to make
     it run more quickly (it was a wholly interpretive BASIC, so the number of
     characters mattered). Obfuscated C Contest entries are often crunched;
     see the first example under that entry.

number cruncher number-cruncher (gcide) | Computer \Com*put"er\ (k[o^]m*p[=u]t"[~e]r), n.
    1. One who computes.
 
    2. (Computers) an electronic device for performing
       calculations automatically. It consists of a clock to
       provide voltage pulses to synchronize the operations of
       the devices within the computer, a central processing
       unit, where the arithmetical and logical operations are
       performed on data, a random-access memory, where the
       programs and data are stored for rapid access, devices to
       input data and output results, and various other
       peripheral devices of widely varied function, as well as
       circuitry to support the main operations.
 
    Note: This modern sense of computer comprises the
          stored-program computers, in which multiple steps in a
          calculation may be stored within the computer itself as
          instructions in a program, and are then executed by
          the computer without further intervention of the
          operator. Different types of computer are variously
          called analog computer, {number cruncher,
          number-cruncher}, digital computer, and {pari-mutuel
          machine, totalizer, totaliser, totalizator,
          totalisator}.
 
    Syn: data processor, electronic computer, information
         processing system.
         [WordNet 1.5 +PJC]
 
    3. (Computers) same as digital computer.
