From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
class hierarchy          A set of {classes} and their interrelationships.          One class may be a specialisation (a "{subclass}" or "{derived       class}") of another which is one of its "{superclasses}" or       "{base classes}".          When a {method} is invoked on an {object} it is first looked       for in the object's class, then the superclass of that class,       and so on up the hierarchy until it is found.   Thus a class       need only define those methods which are specific to it, and       inherits methods from all its superclasses.          See also: {multiple inheritance}.          (1997-08-06)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
clock rate          The fundamental rate in {cycle}s per       second at which a computer performs its most basic operations       such as adding two numbers or transfering a value from one       register to another.          The clock rate of a computer is normally determined by the       frequency of a crystal.   The original {IBM PC}, circa 1981,       had a clock rate of 4.77 MHz (almost five million       cycles/second).   As of 1995, {Intel}'s Pentium chip runs at       100 MHz (100 million cycles/second).   The clock rate of a       computer is only useful for providing comparisons between       computer chips in the same processor family.   An {IBM PC} with       an {Intel 486} {CPU} running at 50 MHz will be about twice as       fast as one with the same CPU, memory and display running at       25 MHz.   However, there are many other factors to consider       when comparing different computers.   Clock rate should not be       used when comparing different computers or different processor       families.   Rather, some {benchmark} should be used.   Clock       rate can be very misleading, since the amount of work       different computer chips can do in one cycle varies.   For       example, {RISC} CPUs tend to have simpler instructions than       {CISC} CPUs (but higher clock rates) and {pipelined}       processors execute more than one instruction per cycle.          (1995-01-12)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
closure          1. In a {reduction system}, a closure is a data       structure that holds an expression and an environment of       variable bindings in which that expression is to be evaluated.       The variables may be local or global.   Closures are used to       represent unevaluated expressions when implementing       {functional programming languages} with {lazy evaluation}.   In       a real implementation, both expression and environment are       represented by pointers.          A {suspension} is a closure which includes a flag to say       whether or not it has been evaluated.   The term "{thunk}" has       come to be synonymous with "closure" but originated outside       {functional programming}.          2. In {domain theory}, given a {partially ordered       set}, D and a subset, X of D, the upward closure of X in D is       the union over all x in X of the sets of all d in D such that       x <= d.   Thus the upward closure of X in D contains the       elements of X and any greater element of D.   A set is "upward       closed" if it is the same as its upward closure, i.e. any d       greater than an element is also an element.   The downward       closure (or "left closure") is similar but with d <= x.   A       downward closed set is one for which any d less than an       element is also an element.          ("<=" is written in {LaTeX} as {\subseteq} and the upward       closure of X in D is written \uparrow_\{D} X).          (1994-12-16)

Calkers       workmen skilled in stopping the seams of the deck or sides of       vessels. The inhabitants of Gebel were employed in such work on       Tyrian vessels (Ezek. 27:9, 27; marg., "strengtheners" or       "stoppers of chinks").
