(wn)
crunch
n 1: the sound of something crunching; "he heard the crunch of
footsteps on the gravel path"
2: a critical situation that arises because of a shortage (as a
shortage of time or money or resources); "an end-of-the year
crunch"; "a financial crunch"
3: the act of crushing [syn: crush, crunch, compaction]
v 1: make a crushing noise; "his shoes were crunching on the
gravel" [syn: crunch, scranch, scraunch, crackle]
2: press or grind with a crushing noise [syn: crunch,
cranch, craunch, grind]
3: chew noisily; "The children crunched the celery sticks" [syn:

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.

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.

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.
