Bi-Endian CPU
In accordance with a different CPU designs, when the data width of more than 1 byte (BYTE) above will be placed behind the high tuple is called LITTLE-ENDIAN, the opposite approach is called BIG-ENDIAN. For example, "ECHO" in the LITTLE-ENDIAN system uses two sets of two bytes (WORDS) to store string, the memory arrangement of the body should be "CEOH", in the BIG-ENDIAN system is "ECHO". HP, IBM, MOTOROLA 68K series using the BIG-ENDIAN Design . INTEL X86, DEC VAX using the LITTLE-ENDIAN design. POWERPC supports two formats, called the BI-ENDIAN.
Binary Tree Data Structure
Binary tree, a tree data structure, each node (NODE) a maximum of two child nodes (LEAF). Is often used as a sort of information storage architecture.
BinHex Encoding Scheme
Containing 8-bit (BIT) file data to use 7-bit ASCII file format of the encoding method, similar to UUENCODE. In addition to plain text file in English only, other file formats are used in the highest bit, include graphics files, executable file, and use word-processing program, text file, without proper conversion, archival material will be transferred to another only supports ASCII format, generated when the computer system garbled or even completely unavailable. encoded files require anti - encoded to be used.
Bioscience & Bio-informatics Bio-science and bio-informatics
Since February 12, 2001 out of the human genome sequencing, bio-science and technology once again rekindled spark, the human genome study was just published in a major blueprint sketches, there are still many improvements needed to develop higher-quality sequencing results, can truly understand human biological structures, in addition, we also need to work out protein synthesis (protein synthesis) and protein folding processes (folding processes) and other areas, such large-scale global study of the most important result is able to use by molecular mimicry and simulation to assist through rational drug design.
Development and application of information technology has facilitated the interpretation of the genetic code and the processes of rapid progress. Also stimulated the upgrading of computer technology, such as the Petaflop (up to 10 per second to 15 th power floating-point operations) of a supercomputer (IBM's Blue Gene, Blue Gene), as well as new architecture and algorithms. Discovered through a rational use of drugs in the process of large-scale database management, comparison and extraction, as well as other development of bio-information will eventually be applied to other fields of human activity. |
