Cf. {Saccharine}, {Sucrose}.]       1.

Ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose.

ferrite core memory          (Or "core") An early form of {non-volatile storage}       built (by hand) from tiny rings of magnetisable material       threaded onto very fine wire to form large (e.g. 13"x13" or       more) rectangluar arrays.   Each core stored one {bit} of data.       These were sandwiched between {printed circuit boards}(?).       Sets of wires ran horizontally and vertically and where a       vertical and horizontal wire crossed, a core had both wires       threaded through it.          A single core could be selected and magnetised by passing       sufficient current through its horizontal and vertical wires.       A core would retain its magnetisation until it was       re-magnetised.   The two possible polarities of magnetisation       were used to represent the binary values zero and one.          A third "sense" wire, passed through the core and, if the       magnetisation of the core was changed, a small pulse would be       induced in the sense wire which could be detected and used to       deduce the core's original state.          Some core memory was immersed in a bath of heated oil to       improve its performance.          Core memory was rendered obsolete by {semiconductor} memory.          For example, the 1970s-era {NCR 499} had two boards, each with       16 {kilobytes} of core memory.          (1996-03-04)

fourth generation computer          A computer built using {Very Large Scale       Integration} (VLSI) {integrated circuits}, especially a       {microcomputer} based on a {microprocesseor}, or a {parallel       processor} containing two to thousands of {CPU}s.          VLSI made it routine to fabricate an entire CPU, main memory,       or similar device with a single integrated circuit that can be       mass produced at very low cost.   This has resulted in new       classes of machines such as {personal computers}, and high       performance parallel processors that contains thousands of       CPUs.          (1996-11-22)

fourth generation language          (4GL) An "application specific" language, one with       built-in knowledge of an application domain, in the way that       {SQL} has built-in knowledge of the database domain.   Pure       4GLs do not contain conditionals (if-then-else) and loops       (for, while, do), though some languages are combinations of       {third generation languages} and 4GLs.          The term was invented by Jim Martin to refer to       {non-procedural} {high level languages} built around       {database} systems.   The first three generations were       developed fairly quickly, but it was still frustrating, slow,       and error prone to program computers, leading to the first       "programming crisis", in which the amount of work that might       be assigned to programmers greatly exceeded the amount of       programmer time available to do it.   Meanwhile, a lot of       experience was gathered in certain areas, and it became clear       that certain applications could be generalised by adding       limited programming languages to them.   Thus were born {report       generator} languages, which were fed a description of the data       format and the report to generate and turned that into a       {COBOL} (or other language) program which actually contained       the commands to read and process the data and place the       results on the page.          Some other successful 4th-generation languages are: {database       query languages}, e.g. {SQL}; {Focus}, {Metafont},       {PostScript}, {RPG-II}, {S}, {IDL-PV/WAVE}, {Gauss},       {Mathematica}; and {data-stream languages} such as {AVS},       {APE}, {Iris Explorer}.          (2003-07-29)
