Hardware
(gcide) | Hardware \Hard"ware`\ (h[aum]rd"w[^a]r`), n.
1. Ware made of metal, as cutlery, kitchen utensils, and the
like; ironmongery.
[1913 Webster]
2. Any of the physical objects used in carrying out an
activity, in contrast to the knowledge, skill, or theory
required to perform the activity; mostly used
collectively.
[PJC]
3. Specifically: (Computers) The sum of all the physical
objects, such as the electrical, mechanical, and
electronic devices which comprise a computer system; as,
the typical PC hardware suite consists of a mainboard and
a number of peripherals such as hard drives and speakers,
connected by adapter cards, but the input and output from
users occurs mostly through the keyboard and monitor;
contrasted with software, the programs executed by the
computer.
[PJC]
4. Specifically: (Military) The weapons, transport, and other
physical objects used in conducting a war.
[PJC]
5. (Slang) Weapons, especially handguns, carried on the
person; as, check your hardware at the door before
entering.

electrical components making up a computer system [syn:
hardware, computer hardware] [ant: computer software,

hardware
(foldoc) | hardware
The physical, touchable, material parts of a
computer or other system. The term is used to distinguish
these fixed parts of a system from the more changeable
software or data components which it executes, stores, or
carries.
Typical computer hardware consists of electronic devices
(CPU, memory, display) with some electromechanical parts
(keyboard, printer, disk drives, tape drives,
loudspeakers) for input, output and storage. Completely
non-electronic (mechanical, electromechanical, hydraulic,
biological) computers have also been conceived of and built.
See also firmware, wetware.

common hardware reference platform
(foldoc) | PowerPC Platform
CHRP
Common Hardware Reference Platform
PowerPC Reference Platform
PPCP
(PPCP, PReP - PowerPC Reference
Platform, formerly CHRP - Common Hardware Reference Platform)
An open system standard, designed by IBM, intended to ensure
compatibility among PowerPC-based systems built by different
companies. The PReP standard specifies the PCI bus, but
will also support ISA, MicroChannel and PCMCIA.
PReP-compliant systems will be able to run the Macintosh OS,
OS/2, WorkplaceOS, AIX, Solaris, Taligent and
Windows NT. IBM systems will (of course) be PReP-compliant.
Apple's first PowerPC Macintoshes will not be compliant,
but future ones may be.

hardware circular buffer
(foldoc) | hardware circular buffer
digital signal processors which
support hardware circular buffers automatically generate and
increment pointers for memory accesses which wrap to the
beginning of the buffer when its end is reached, thus saving
the time and instructions otherwise needed to ensure that the
address pointer stays within the boundary of the buffer, and
speeding the execution of repetitive DSP algorithms.

hardware handshaking
(foldoc) | hardware handshaking
A technique for regulating the flow of data
across an interface by means of signals carried on separate
wires.
A common example is the RTS (Request to Send) and CTS (Clear
to Send) signals on an EIA-232 serial line.
The alternative, software handshaking, uses two special
characters inserted into the data stream to carry the same
information.

all hardware sucks, all software sucks.
(jargon) | All hardware sucks, all software sucks.
prov.
[from scary devil monastery] A general recognition of the fallibility of
any computer system, ritually intoned as an attempt to quell incipient {
holy wars}. It is a common response to any sort of bigot. When discussing
Wintel systems, however, it is often snidely appended with, ‘but some
suck more than others.’
