The term self-love is used                   in a twofold sense: 1. It denotes that longing for                   good or for well-being which actuates the breasts of                   all, entering into and characterizing every special                   desire. In this sense it has no moral quality, being,                   from the nature of the case, neither good nor evil. 2.                   It is applied to a voluntary regard for the                   gratification of special desires. In this sense it is                   morally good or bad according as these desires are                   conformed to duty or opposed to it. Selfishness is                   always voluntary and always wrong, being that regard                   to our own interests, gratification, etc., which is                   sought or indulged at the expense, and to the injury,                   of others. [bd]So long as self-love does not                   degenerate into selfishness, it is quite compatible                   with true benevolence.[b8] --Fleming. [bd]Not only is                   the phrase self-love used as synonymous with the                   desire of happiness, but it is often confounded with                   the word selfishness, which certainly, in strict                   propriety, denotes a very different disposition of                   mind.[b8] --Slewart.

Ferment \Fer"ment\, n. [L. fermentum ferment (in senses 1 & 2),       perh. for fervimentum, fr. fervere to be boiling hot, boil,       ferment: cf. F. ferment. Cf. 1st {Barm}, {Fervent}.]       1. That which causes fermentation, as yeast, barm, or             fermenting beer.          Note: Ferments are of two kinds: ({a}) Formed or organized                ferments. ({b}) Unorganized or structureless ferments.                The latter are also called {soluble [or] chemical                ferments}, and {enzymes}. Ferments of the first class                are as a rule simple microscopic vegetable organisms,                and the fermentations which they engender are due to                their growth and development; as, the {acetic ferment},                the {butyric ferment}, etc. See {Fermentation}.                Ferments of the second class, on the other hand, are                chemical substances, as a rule soluble in glycerin and                precipitated by alcohol. In action they are catalytic                and, mainly, hydrolytic. Good examples are pepsin of                the dastric juice, ptyalin of the salvia, and disease                of malt.

Scalable Processor ARChitecture          (SPARC) An {instruction set architecture} designed       by {Sun Microsystems} for their own use in 1985.   Sun was a       maker of {680x0}-based {Unix} {workstations}.   Research       versions of {RISC} processors had promised a major step       forward in speed but existing manufacturers were slow to       introduce a RISC type processor, so Sun went ahead and       developed its own, based on the {University of California at       Berkley}'s {RISC I} and {RISC II} 1980-2.   In keeping with       their open philosophy, they licenced it to other companies,       rather than manufacture it themselves.   The evolution and       standardisation of SPARC is now directed by the non-profit       consortium {SPARC International, Inc.}          SPARC was not the first {RISC} processor.   The {AMD 29000}       came before it, as did the {MIPS R2000} (based on {Stanford}'s       design) and {Hewlett-Packard} {Precision Architecture} {CPU},       among others.   The SPARC design was radical at the time, even       omitting multiple cycle multiply and divide instructions (like       a few others), while most RISC CPUs are more conventional.          SPARC implementations usually contain 128 or 144 {registers},       ({CISC} designs typically had 16 or less).   At each time 32       registers are available - 8 are global, the rest are allocated       in a "window" from a stack of registers.   The window is moved       16 registers down the stack during a function call, so that       the upper and lower 8 registers are shared between functions,       to pass and return values, and 8 are local.   The window is       moved up on return, so registers are loaded or saved only at       the top or bottom of the register stack.   This allows       functions to be called in as little as 1 cycle.   Like some       other RISC processors, reading global register zero always       returns zero and writing it has no effect.   SPARC is       {pipelined} for performance, and like previous processors, a       dedicated {condition code register} holds comparison results.          SPARC is "scalable" mainly because the register stack can be       expanded (up to 512, or 32 windows), to reduce loads and saves       between functions, or scaled down to reduce {interrupt} or       {context switch} time, when the entire register set has to be       saved.   Function calls are usually much more frequent, so the       large register set is usually a plus.          SPARC is not a chip, but a specification, and so there are       various implementations of it.   It has undergone revisions,       and now has multiply and divide instructions.   Most versions       are 32 bits, but there are designs for 64-bit and       {superscalar} versions.   SPARC was submitted to the {IEEE}       society to be considered for the {P1754} microprocessor       standard.          SPARC(R) is a registered trademark of SPARC International,       Inc. in the United States and other countries.          [The SPARC Architecture Manual, v8, ISBN 0-13-825001-4].          (1994-11-01)
