In the                invertebrate animals it is usually nearly colorless,                and contains only one kind of corpuscles; but in all                vertebrates, except Amphioxus, it contains some                colorless corpuscles, with many more which are red and                give the blood its uniformly red color.

IMPlementation language          (IMP) An extension of {B} with {floating-point}       operations, developed by W. Davidsen at {General Electric} in       1970 for the {GE 600}.   It was also {cross-compiled} to {VAX}       and {Intel 8080}.          (1996-04-07)

implicit parallelism          A feature of a programming language for a {parallel       processing} system which decides automatically which parts to       run in parallel.          The best way of providing implicit parallelism is still (1995)       an active research topic.   The problem is to generate the       right number of parallel tasks of the right size (or       "{granularity}").   Too many tasks and the system gets bogged       down in house-keeping, or memory for waiting tasks runs out,       too few tasks and processors are left idle.          The best performance is usually achieved with {explicit       parallelism} where the programmer can annotate his program to       indicate which parts should be executed as independent       parallel tasks.          (1995-02-16)

implicit type conversion          (Or "coercion") The abilty of some {compilers}       to automatically insert {type} conversion {functions} where an       expression of one type is used in a context where another type       is expected.          A common example is coercion of {integers} to {reals} so that       an expression like sin(1) is compiled as sin(integerToReal(1))       where sin is of type Real -> Real.          A coercion is usually performed automatically by the compiler       whereas a {cast} is an {explicit type conversion} inserted by       the programmer.          See also {subtype}.          (1997-07-28)

implies          (=> or a thin right arrow) A binary {Boolean} function       and {logical connective}.   A => B is true unless A is true and       B is false.   The {truth table} is          A B | A => B       ----+-------       F F |   T       F T |   T       T F |   F       T T |   T          It is surprising at first that A => B is always true if A is       false, but if X => Y then we would expect that (X & Z) => Y       for any Z.          (1995-09-30)
