Any one of numerous species of large aquatic             birds belonging to {Cygnus}, {Olor}, and allied genera of             the subfamily {Cygnin[91]}. They have a large and strong             beak and a long neck, and are noted for their graceful             movements when swimming. Most of the northern species are             white. In literature the swan was fabled to sing a             melodious song, especially at the time of its death.          Note: The European white, or mute, swan ({Cygnus gibbus}),                which is most commonly domesticated, bends its neck in                an S-shaped curve. The whistling, or trumpeting, swans                of the genus {Olor} do not bend the neck in an S-shaped                curve, and are noted for their loud and sonorous cry,                due to complex convolutions of the windpipe. To this                genus belong the European whooper, or whistling swan                ({Olor cygnus}), the American whistling swan ({O.                Columbianus}), and the trumpeter swan ({O.                buccinator}). The Australian black swan ({Chenopis                atrata}) is dull black with white on the wings, and has                the bill carmine, crossed with a white band. It is a                very graceful species and is often domesticated. The                South American black-necked swan ({Sthenelides                melancorypha}) is a very beautiful and graceful                species, entirely white, except the head and neck,                which are dark velvety seal-brown. Its bill has a                double bright rose-colored knob.          2.

cosmic rays n.   Notionally, the cause of {bit rot}.   However,    this is a semi-independent usage that may be invoked as a humorous    way to {handwave} away any minor {randomness} that doesn't seem    worth the bother of investigating.   "Hey, Eric -- I just got a burst    of garbage on my {tube}, where did that come from?"   "Cosmic rays, I    guess."   Compare {sunspots}, {phase of the moon}.   The British seem    to prefer the usage `cosmic showers'; `alpha particles' is also    heard, because stray alpha particles passing through a memory chip    can cause single-bit errors (this becomes increasingly more likely    as memory sizes and densities increase).          Factual note: Alpha particles cause bit rot, cosmic rays do not    (except occasionally in spaceborne computers).   Intel could not    explain random bit drops in their early chips, and one hypothesis    was cosmic rays.   So they created the World's Largest Lead Safe,    using 25 tons of the stuff, and used two identical boards for    testing.   One was placed in the safe, one outside.   The hypothesis    was that if cosmic rays were causing the bit drops, they should see    a statistically significant difference between the error rates on    the two boards.   They did not observe such a difference.   Further    investigation demonstrated conclusively that the bit drops were due    to alpha particle emissions from thorium (and to a much lesser    degree uranium) in the encapsulation material.   Since it is    impossible to eliminate these radioactives (they are uniformly    distributed through the earth's crust, with the statistically    insignificant exception of uranium lodes) it became obvious that one    has to design memories to withstand these hits.

cache miss          A request to read from memory which cannot be       satisfied from the {cache}, for which the {main memory} has to       be consulted.          Opposite: {cache hit}.          (1997-01-21)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Cache On A STick          (COAST) {Intel Corporation} attempt to's       standardise the modular {L2 cache} subsystem in       {Pentium}-based computers.          A COAST module should be about 4.35" wide by 1.14" high.       According to earlier specifications from {Motorola}, a module       between 4.33" and 4.36" wide, and between 1.12" and 1.16" high       is within the COAST standard.   Some module vendors, including       some major motherboard suppliers, greatly violate the height       specification.          Another COAST specification violated by many suppliers       concerns clock distribution in synchronous modules.   The       specification requires that the clock tree to each synchronous       chip be balanced, i.e. equal length from edge of the connector       to individual chips.   An unbalanced clock tree increases       reflections and noise.          For a 256 {kilobyte} cache module the standard requires the       same clock be used for both chips but some vendors use       separate clocks to reduce loading on the clock driver and       hence increase the clock speed.   However, this creates       unbalanced loading in other motherboard configurations, such       as motherboards with soldered caches in the system.          (1996-06-10)
