CDB (band)
CDB are an Australian R&B, dance and vocal harmony quartet formed in 1991 with Andrew De Silva, Brad Pinto and his brother Gary Pinto, as well as Danny Williams. CDB is an initialism which stands for Central Dandenong Boys. Their highest charting single was a cover version of Earth, Wind & Fire's "Let's Groove", which peaked at number two on the ARIA Singles Chart and number one on the New Zealand Singles Chart. " Hey Girl (This Is Our Time)" also reached number one in New Zealand. Their debut studio album, '' Glide with Me'' was released in November 1995. The group disbanded in 1999. Musicologist Ian McFarlane said their "sound combined elements of R&B, soul and New Jack Swing tied to dexterous vocal harmonies and arrangements."

Cdb (software)
cdb, short for "constant database", refers to both a library and data format created by Daniel J. Bernstein. cdb acts as an on-disk associative array, mapping keys to values, and allows multiple values to be stored for a single key. A constant database allows only two operations: creation and reading. Both operations are designed to be very fast and highly reliable. Since the database does not change while it is in use, multiple processes can access a single database without locking. Additionally, since all modifications create a replacement database, it can take advantage of UNIX filesystem semantics to provide a guarantee of reliability. Record positions, key and value lengths, and hash values are 32-bit quantities and therefore must fit into 4 gigabytes. cdb is used by djbdns, fastforward, mess822, qmail and ucspi-tcp to provide highly efficient, reliable, and simple data access. Structure A database contains an entire data set (e.g. a single associative array) in a single ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Crim Dell Bridge
The Crim Dell bridge is a wooden bridge on the College of William & Mary’s campus in Williamsburg, Virginia, United States and is considered one of the College's most scenic areas. Crim Dell itself is actually the pond that the bridge crosses over, but the bridge is commonly referred to as Crim Dell. The bridge was opened on William & Mary's first-ever Parents' Day in 1966.''The Flat Hat'' online: Crim Dell – 43 years of tradition in history Accessed April 25, 2008. Davis Paschall, the College President at the time, had the idea to build a newer, more elaborate bridge than the bare, unpainted one that had previously occupied the spot. For a sh ...

CDB!
''CDB!'' is a children's picture book written and illustrated by William Steig, who would later win the Caldecott Medal in 1970 for ''Sylvester and the Magic Pebble''. The book, published in 1968 by Simon & Schuster, is a collection of pictures with captions written in code, with letters in the caption standing for words the letter's names sound like ( gramograms). The illustrations that accompany the codes show scenes that help the reader decode the caption. The cover illustration shows a child pointing out a bee to another child. The title, ''CDB!'', thus translates as "See (CEE) the (DEE) bee (BEE)!" The book was updated by Steig over thirty years after its original publication with the addition of color to the illustrations, as well as an answer key at the end. Steig followed this book with a sequel, ''CDC?'' Reception Richard F. Abrahamson, writing in ''The Reading Teacher'', commented, "For the child who is playing with language and sounds, this book is hilarious." Lilian ...

SCSI CDB
In SCSI standards for transferring data between computers and peripheral devices, often computer storage, commands are sent in a Command Descriptor Block (CDB). Each CDB can be a total of 6, 10, 12, or 16 bytes, but later versions of the SCSI standard also allow for variable-length CDBs. The CDB consists of a one byte operation code followed by some command-specific parameters. The parameters need not be a full byte long, and the parameter length varies from one command to another. The available commands, with links to articles describing the detailed structure of many of them, are listed in the article section List of SCSI commands. Typical CDB structures, for the 6- and 16-byte SCSI Request Sense Command, opcode 3, are: 6-byte CDB: 16-byte CDB: An example with different allocation of bits to parameters is the 6-byte SCSI Mode Sense Command Small Computer System Interface (SCSI, ) is a set of standards for physically connecting and transferring data between computers ...

Tomasulo Algorithm
Tomasulo's algorithm is a computer architecture hardware algorithm for dynamic scheduling of instructions that allows out-of-order execution and enables more efficient use of multiple execution units. It was developed by Robert Tomasulo at IBM in 1967 and was first implemented in the IBM System/360 Model 91’s floating point unit. The major innovations of Tomasulo’s algorithm include register renaming in hardware, reservation stations for all execution units, and a common data bus (CDB) on which computed values broadcast to all reservation stations that may need them. These developments allow for improved parallel execution of instructions that would otherwise stall under the use of scoreboarding or other earlier algorithms. Robert Tomasulo received the Eckert–Mauchly Award in 1997 for his work on the algorithm. Implementation concepts The following are the concepts necessary to the implementation of Tomasulo's algorithm: Common data bus The Common Data Bus (CDB) connect ...

Command Data Buffer
Command Data Buffer (CDB) was a system used by the United States Air Force's Minuteman ICBM force. CDB was a method to transfer targeting information from a Minuteman Launch Control Center to an individual missile by communications lines. Prior to CDB, new missile guidance would have to be physically loaded at the launch facility; the process usually took hours. History The surviving remnant of the Minuteman Command Control System (MICCS), CDB permitted the rapid, remote, retargeting of the Minuteman III fleet. CDB was operational at all Minuteman III wings by 15 Aug 1977. Minuteman II wings had a similar install, designated Improved Launch Control System, providing the older system the potential for remote retargeting. Phaseout CDB was replaced in the late 1990s by the Rapid Execution and Combat Targeting system, currently in use by United States ICBM forces.
