`expressed by a given convention, such as
`by an exponent of the radix of the
`numeration
`system.
`In
`floating—point
`notation, a number is usually expressed as
`a
`fixed-point numeral
`that serves as a
`multiplying coefficient and an exponential
`part
`that consists of the radix of the
`numeration system raised to a power,
`which,
`in effect,
`locates the arithmetic
`point; hence,
`the term floating point. In
`the numeral 0.397 x 104, or 0.397 x 04,
`the 0.397 is
`the coefficient, sometimes
`called the fractional part, if it is less than
`unity, and the 04, or 4,
`is the power to
`which the radix is
`to be raised. The
`
`product is the magnitude of the number.
`In this case, 0.397 X 04 is equivalent to
`3970. Floating-point notation permits
`wide ranges of numbers to be ex ressed
`and helps to reduce scaling
`rob ems in
`computers, when it is diffic t to predict
`the magnitude of computed quantities. A
`numeral resulting from an operation, such
`as 94,000,000 that might exceed the
`capacity of
`a
`register, might
`be
`represented as 9.4,7, or 94,6, where the
`third digit in the examples is an exponent
`of the radix. The radix,
`raised to the
`indicated power, is then multiplied by the
`remaining two digits, usually a fixed—point
`number. By proper selection of the value
`of the exponent, representing the
`ower
`to which the radix is to be raised),
`the
`fractional part of the number may be held
`within a given range, still permitting the
`expression of numbers
`of
`greater
`magnitude.
`(Contrast with point, fixed
`and with pain t, variable.)
`point,
`index—In punch-card machines con—7
`taining rotating machinery driven by a
`main shaft, one of the equally spaced
`rotational reference positions of the main
`shaft. The
`equally
`spaced
`reference
`positions are usually chosen to be those \at
`which successive card rows or columns are
`at the sensing or punching station of the
`card reader or punch. Extra index points
`may be required to allow for a gap
`between cards while they are traversing
`the card track. The index point may be
`labeled according to the row or column, if
`any, to which it corresponds.
`point,
`load—A marked position on magnetic
`tape that is positioned under the recording
`head when the reel is mounted in a tape
`station. Reading and writing begin and
`end at this point. A metallic strip may be
`used to mark the load point, indicating to
`both the operator and the machine where
`to start or stop reading or writing.
`point, radix—Same as point, arithmetic.
`pomt,
`rerun—A location or a point
`computer
`program at which
`Information
`required
`to
`repeat
`
`in a
`all
`the
`
`checkpoint in the event of an error or a
`malfunction. The rerun points may be
`only three to five minutes apart, so that
`instead of returning to the beginning of a
`V program in the event of an error, it IS only
`necessary to return to the last rerun point.
`All
`information pertinent
`to a rerun is
`available in stored or recorded form during
`the whole time from one rerun point to
`the next. One purpose of a checkpoint is
`to permit
`the rerunning of the program
`from the checkpoint;
`thus, a checkpoint
`may serve as a rerun point. In any case, a
`computer run may be reconstituted and
`run again
`from a
`rerun point or
`check oint.
`(Synonymous with restart.
`point?
`point, restart—Same as pain t, rerun.
`pomt, variable ~A radix numeration system in
`which each number is represented by a
`numeral; that is, a set of digits, with the
`arithmetic
`oint explicitly indicated by a
`character p aced among the digits by the
`writer according to the magnitude of the
`number desired to be expressed;
`for
`example, 85.96, 8.596, or 859P6. Usually
`the point
`is
`a dot or period, and its
`position separates the coefficients of the
`negative powers of the radix from the
`coefficients of the positive powers of the
`radix, being just
`to the right of the
`coefficient of the zero power of the radix;
`that
`is,
`just
`to the right oftthe units
`position.
`(Contrast with point, floating
`and with oint, fixed.)
`point, zero- evel
`transmission reference—An
`arbitrarily chosen
`hysical point
`in a
`circuit
`to which allJ transmission levels,
`such as current, voltage, and power levels,
`are referred or
`referenced, and so are
`measured from. The transmission level at
`the transmitting switchboard is frequently
`taken
`as
`the
`zero-level
`transmission
`reference level, and thus the transmitting
`switchb o ard
`becomes
`the
`zero-level
`transmissmn reference point.
`polarization diversity—S ee
`polarization.
`Polish notation~See notation, Polish.
`poll—In switching networks,
`to request a
`station to send data.
`of
`a mode
`to
`polymorphic—~Pertaining
`c 0 mp ut ing
`system organization,
`configuration, or arrangement of major
`component parts in a manner such that all
`components at a given installation are held
`in a common pool, and, as each program to
`be executed is selected, a specific set of
`components
`is chosen from the pool,
`electrically connected, used to execute the
`program, and, upon completion, returned
`to
`the
`pool. Each
`configuration
`of
`equipment is matched to the program, and
