Out-of-order execution

In computer engineering, **out-of-order execution**, **OoOE**, is a technique used in most high-performance microprocessors to make use of cycles that would otherwise be wasted by a certain type of costly delay. Most modern CPU designs include support for out of order execution.

The key concept of OoO processing is to allow the processor to avoid a class of delays (**termed**: _"stalls "_) that occur when the data needed to perform an operation are unavailable.

OoO processors fill these "slots" in time with other instructions that **are** ready, then re-order the results at the end to make it appear that the instructions were processed as normal. The way the instructions are ordered in the original computer code is known as **program order**, in the processor they are handled in **data order** (the order in which the data, operands, become available in the processor's registers). Fairly complex circuitry is needed to convert from one ordering to the other and maintain a logical ordering of the output; the processor itself appears to be running the instructions in random order.

The benefit of OoO processing grows as the instruction pipeline expands and the speed difference between main memory (or cache memory) and the processor increases. On modern machines, the processor runs many times faster than the memory, so during the time an in-order processor spends waiting for data to arrive, it could have processed a large number of instructions.

In earlier **In-order processors**, the processing of instructions is normally done in these steps:
1. Instruction fetch.
1. If input operands are available (in registers for instance), the instruction is dispatched to the appropriate functional unit.  If one or more operands is unavailable during the current clock cycle (generally because they are being fetched from memory), however, the processor stalls until they are available.
1. The instruction is executed by the appropriate functional unit.
1. The functional unit writes the results back to the register.

**Out-of-order processors** breaks up the processing of instructions into these steps:
1. Instruction fetch.
1. Instruction dispatch to an instruction queue (also called **instruction buffer** or reservation stations).
1. The instruction waits in the queue until its input operands are available. The instruction is then allowed to leave the queue before earlier, older instructions.
1. The instruction is issued to the appropriate functional unit and executed by that unit.
1. The results are queued (Re-order Buffer).
1. Only after all older instructions have their results written back to the register file, then this result is written back to the register. This is called the **graduation** or **retire** stage.

In the examples outlined above, the **OoO** processor avoids the stall that occurs in step (2) of the i**n-order processor** when the instruction is not completely ready to be processed due to missing data.

Speculative execution

In computer science, **speculative execution** is the execution of code, before being sure if the result will be needed.

The technique is used in most high-performance microprocessors to execute a complete instructions or parts of instructions before being sure whether this execution is required

In the context of functional programming, the term **"speculative evaluation"** is used instead.

Branch prediction

In computer architecture, a **branch predictor** is the part of a processor that determines whether a conditional branch (jump) in the instruction flow of a program is likely to be taken or not. This is called **branch prediction**.

**Branch predictors** are important in today's modern, superscalar processors for achieving high performance. They allow processors to fetch and execute instructions without waiting for a branch to be resolved.

Almost all pipelined processors do **branch prediction** of some form, because they must guess the address of the next instruction to fetch before the current instruction has been executed.

Many earlier microprogrammed CPUs did not do branch prediction because there was little or no performance requirements; for this reason there is no need for altering the flow of the instruction stream.

Key exchange

**Key exchange** is any method in cryptography by which cryptographic keys are exchanged between users, allowing use of a cryptographic system.

If two parties wish to exchange encrypted messages, each needs to know how to decrypt received messages and to encrypt sent messages. The information they require to do so depends on the encryption technique they might use. If they use a code, both will require a copy of the same codebook. If they use a cipher, they will need appropriate keys. If the cipher is a symmetric key cipher, both will need a copy of the same key. If an asymmetric key cipher with the public/private key property, both will need the other's public key.

The **key exchange problem** is how to exchange whatever keys or other information needed so, in such a way, that no one else can obtain a copy. Usually, this required trusted secure channel. With the arrival of (public key / private key) cipher algorithms, the encrypting key (aka, the public key) could be made public, since (at least for _"high quality"_ ciphers) no one without the decrypting key (aka, the private key) could decrypt the message.

In principle, then, the only remaining problem was to be sure that a public key actually belonged to its claimed owner, this is not a problem easy to solve; specially when the two users involved have never met and know nothing about each other.

In 1976, Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman published a cryptographic protocol, (**Diffie-Hellman key exchange**), which allows users to establish secure channels in order to exchange keys, even if an attacker is monitoring that communication channel. However, **Diffie-Hellman key exchange** did not address the **"identity authentication"** problem of being sure of the actual identity of the person or an entity.

Public key infrastructures have been proposed go around the problem of **"identity authentication"**. In their most usual implementation, each user applies to a "certificate authority" for a digital certificate which serves for other users as a correct (**termed**: non-tamperable) authentication of identity.

In contrast, the web of trust system, which do not use central "certificate authority" at all. Each user is responsible for **verifying** any certificate from another user before using that certificate to communicate with the user who claims to be associated with the particular public key in a certificate, (see digital signatures).

The problem of key exchange has not yet been solved. In particular, it has not yet been solved for the modern situation of two previously unknown users attempting to communicate electronically, as, for instance, in electronic commerce. Some of the existing work-around designs work, more or less, but are not fully satisfactory.

Secure channel

In cryptography, a **secure channel** is a way of transferring data that is very difficult (called r_esistant_) to overhear or copy (called _interception_) and understand (called _decrypt_) or change (called _tampering_).

A **confidential channel** is a way of transferring data that is resistant to interception, but may not be resistant to tampering and may not be resistant to impersonation by someone else (called _spoofing_).

An **authenticatable channel** is a way of transferring data that is resistant to spoofing but may not be resistant to interception or tampering.
Terminology

**Terminology** is the study of terms and their use. Terminology studies the "labelling or designating of concepts" in one or more subject fields or areas of human activity. **Terms** are words and compound words that are used in specific contexts.  Terminology studies among other things how such terms of art come to be and their interrelationships within a culture.

## Overview

Work on terminology consists mainly of:
- analyzing the concepts in a field of activity
- identifying the terms given to the concepts
- establishing correspondences between terms in different languages
- putting the terminology onto a database
- creating new terms, as required

Flag of Oman

The national flag of Oman () consists of two horizontal stripes of upper white and lower green, separated by a red horizontal "T" shape in the centre that contains the national emblem of Oman (Khanjar and two swords).

### Meaning behind the colours

|Scheme|Textile colour|
| --- | --- |
|The colour of flag of the former Sultanate of Muscat and Oman. It symbolises the battles fought by Omanis to evict foreign invaders from the country.||
|represents the conviction of the Omani people in peace.||
|represents the fertility and greenery of the land.||

## History

Until 1970, Oman used the plain red banner of the indigenous people. In 1970, the Sultan introduced a new national flag and set of ensigns. The simple red flag of Muscat and Oman was modified by addition of the white and green bands to the fly, and the national emblem, the badge of the al-Busaidi dynasty, was placed in the canton. This depicts crossed swords over a _khanjar_, a traditional curved dagger. White has been associated historically with the Imam, the religious leader of Oman, and at times the political rival to the ruling Sultan. It also symbolizes peace. Green is traditionally associated with the Jabal al-Akdar, or "Green Mountains," which lie toward the north of the country. Red is a common color in Gulf state flags. The national emblem is said to date back to the 18th century. A curved dagger is fastened over a pair of crossed swords. An ornate horsebit links the weapons and culture.

Between 1970 and 1995, the size of the middle band of the triband was slimmer than the other two, making up approximately one fifth of its height, the other bands two-fifths.

On 25 April 1995, the flag's proportions were changed from 3:4 to 1:2.

On 22 May 2004, the flag's proportions were changed to 4:7.

## Other flags

The naval ensign shows an _azure_ (blue) field, with the flag of Oman in the canton and the naval service emblem in the fly.

The standard of the Sultan of Oman is red with a green border whose width is about one-sixth of the height of the flag, surrounded by a red border of about the same width. It bears the country's emblem as a charge in the center, colored gold.
