BBRAM
Battery Backed-up Random Access Memory
bi-endian
Having big-endian and little-endian byte ordering capability.
big-endian
A byte-ordering method in memory where the address n of a
word corresponds to the most significant byte. In an addressed
memory word, the bytes are ordered (left to right) 0, 1, 2, 3,
with 0 being the most significant byte.
BIOS
Basic Input/Output System. This is the built-in program that
controls the basic functions of communications between the
processor and the I/O (peripherals) devices. Also referred to as
ROM BIOS.
BitBLT
Bit Boundary BLock Transfer. A type of graphics drawing
routine that moves a rectangle of data from one area of display
memory to another. The data specifically need not have any
particular alignment.
BLT
BLock Transfer
board
The term more commonly used to refer to a PCB (printed
circuit board). Basically, a flat board made of nonconducting
material, such as plastic or fiberglass, on which chips and
other electronic components are mounted. Also referred to as
a circuit board or card.
bpi
bits per inch
bps
bits per second
bus
The pathway used to communicate between the CPU,
memory, and various input/output devices, including floppy
and hard disk drives. Available in various widths (8-, 16-, and
32-bit), with accompanying increases in speed.
cache
A high-speed memory that resides logically between a central
processing unit (CPU) and the main memory. This temporary
memory holds the data and/or instructions that the CPU is
most likely to use over and over again and avoids accessing
the slower hard or floppy disk drive.
