overflow bit
1Bit slicing — is a technique for constructing a processor from modules of smaller bit width. Each of these components processes one bit field or slice of an operand. The grouped processing components would then have the capability to process the chosen full… …
2Overflow flag — In computer processors, the overflow flag (sometimes called V flag) is usually a single bit in a system status register used to indicate when an arithmetic overflow has occurred in an operation, indicating that the signed two s complement result… …
3Bit slip — In digital transmission, Bit slip is the loss of a bit or bits, caused by variations in the respective clock rates of the transmitting and receiving devices. One cause of bit slippage is overflow of a receive buffer that occurs when the… …
4overflow — 1. noun The spillage resultant from overflow; excess. 2. verb a) To fill beyond the limits of a container or system. Calculating 255+1 will overflow an eight bit byte …
5Buffer overflow — In computer security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is an anomalous condition where a process attempts to store data beyond the boundaries of a fixed length buffer. The result is that the extra data overwrites adjacent… …
6NX bit — The NX bit, which stands for No eXecute, is a technology used in CPUs to segregate areas of memory for use by either storage of processor instructions (or code) or for storage of data, a feature normally only found in Harvard architecture… …
7Buffer Overflow — Dépassement de tampon En informatique, un dépassement de tampon ou débordement de tampon (en anglais, buffer overflow) est un bogue causé par un processus qui, lors de l écriture dans un tampon, écrit à l extérieur de l espace alloué au tampon,… …
8Buffer overflow — Dépassement de tampon En informatique, un dépassement de tampon ou débordement de tampon (en anglais, buffer overflow) est un bogue causé par un processus qui, lors de l écriture dans un tampon, écrit à l extérieur de l espace alloué au tampon,… …
9Buffer overflow protection — refers to various techniques used during software development to enhance the security of executable programs by detecting buffer overflows on stack allocated variables as they occur and preventing them from becoming serious security… …
10Arithmetic overflow — The term arithmetic overflow or simply overflow has the following meanings. In a computer, the condition that occurs when a calculation produces a result that is greater in magnitude than that which a given register or storage location can store… …
