From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
expanded memory          Memory used through {EMS}.   In systems based on       {Intel 80386} or later processor expanded memory is part of       the {extended memory} that is mapped into the {expanded memory       page frame} by the processor.   The mapping is controlled by       the {EMM}.   In earlier systems, a dedicated {EMS} hardware       adaptor is needed to map memory into the page frame.   In both       cases, an appropriate {device driver} is needed for the proper       communication between hardware and {EMM}.          (1996-01-10)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
expanded memory manager          (EMM) {IBM PC} memory manager software       implementing {Expanded Memory Specification}, such as {EMM386}       or {QEMM386}.   EMMs can usually provide {UMB} as well.          (1996-01-10)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
expanded memory page frame          The part of the {IBM PC} {reserved memory} address       space used by {EMS}.          (1996-01-10)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Expanded Memory Specification          (EMS) An {IBM PC} memory {paging} scheme enabling       access to memory other than {conventional memory} in {real       mode}.          {Expanded memory} is provided through a {page frame} of at       least 64 {kilobytes} in the {reserved memory} address region.       Access to this memory is provided by an {expanded memory       manager} (EMM) software.   The EMM functions are accessible       through {interrupt} 67H.          In {8086} or {8088} based systems this is the only way to use       memory beyond conventional memory.   In systems based on       {80286} or later, {XMS} and {HMA} provide alternative methods.          EMS was developed jointly by {Lotus}, {Intel}, and {Microsoft}       prior to 1988.   Accordingly, this specification is sometimes       referred to as LIM EMS.          A complete discussion of EMS and programming examples can be       found in ["PC System Programming for developers", 1989, ISBN       1-55755-035-2 (Book only) and ISBN 1-55755-036-0 (Book and       diskette)].          {EEMS}, a competing expanded memory management standard, was       developed by {AST Research}, {Quadram} and {Ashton-Tate}.          See also {upper memory block}.          (1996-01-10)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
expansion card          A circuit board which can be plugged into one of a       computer's {expansion slots} to provide some optional extra       facility such as additional {RAM}, {disk controller},       {coprocessor}, {graphics accelerator}, communication device or       some special-purpose interface.          Different computers have different standards for the cards       they accept, e.g. {PCI}.          (1998-06-26)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
expansion slot          A connector in a computer into which an {expansion       card} can be plugged.   The connector supplies power to the       card and connects it to the {data bus}, {address bus} and       control signals of the {motherboard}.          (1998-06-26)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
exponent          (Or "characteristic") The part of a       {floating-point} number specifying the power of ten by which       the {mantissa} should be multiplied.   In the common notation,       e.g. 3.1E8, the exponent is 8.          (1995-02-27)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
exponential          1. A function which raises some given constant       (the "base") to the power of its argument.   I.e.          f x = b^x          If no base is specified, {e}, the base of {natural       logarthim}s, is assumed.          2. {exponential-time algorithm}.          (1995-04-27)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
exponential-time          The set or property of problems which can be       solved by an {exponential-time algorithm} but for which no       {polynomial-time algorithm} is known.          (1995-04-27)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
exponential-time algorithm          An {algorithm} (or {Turing Machine}) that is       guaranteed to terminate within a number of steps which is a       {exponential} function of the size of the problem.          For example, if you have to check every number of n digits to       find a solution, the {complexity} is O(10^n), and if you add       an extra digit, you must check ten times as many numbers.          Even if such an algorithm is practical for some given value of       n, it is likely to become impractical for larger values.   This       is in contrast to a {polynomial-time algorithm} which grows       more slowly.          See also {computational complexity}, {polynomial-time},       {NP-complete}.          (1995-04-27)
