First in, first out. A queue; a data structure or hardware buffer from which items are taken out in the same order they were put in. A FIFO is useful for buffering a stream of data between a sender and receiver which are not synchronized; that is, the sender and receiver are not sending and receiving at exactly the same rate. If the rates differ by too much in one direction for too long, the FIFO becomes either full (blocking the sender) or empty (blocking the receiver).
Industry:Semiconductors
The portion of the composite video signal that tells the receiver where to place the image in the left-to-right dimension.
The horizontal sync pulse tells the receiving system where the beginning of the new scan line is. See also vertical sync.

First-in, first-out buffer. A portion of memory in which data is stored and then retrieved in the same order in which it was stored. The synchronous serial port has two four-word-deep FIFO buffers: one for its transmit operation and one for its receive operation.
Industry:Semiconductors
The portion of the kernel that is responsible for determining the order in which the tasks in the ready queue are executed.
Industry:Semiconductors
For the parallel processor, the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) data path hardware that expands 1-, 2-, or 4-bit values by respectively duplicating each bit by 32, 16, or 8 times to expand the bit(s) out to a 32-bit word. The value to be expanded can be contained in the multiple flags (mf) register, the only register connected to the parallel processor’s expander.
Industry:Semiconductors
The portion of the multimedia video processor (MVP) responsible for the video interface.
Industry:Semiconductors
For the parallel processor, the operations performed by the hardware in the data unit. The data unit allows both a multiply and an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) data path operation to be performed in a single cycle.
Industry:Semiconductors
The process by which a single serial bus is shared by multiple devices with each device taking turns to communicate on the bus. The total number of time slots (channels) depends on the number of devices connected. During a time slot, a given device may talk to any combination of devices on the bus.
Industry:Semiconductors
Four bytes contained in a 32-bit word. The individual bytes within a word of packed bytes are often operated on in parallel using multiple-byte arithmetic.
Industry:Semiconductors
The process of eliminating lines of video from an image to downscale the image vertically.
