This ebook is the first authorized digital version of Kernighan and Ritchie's 1988 classic, The C Programming Language (2nd Ed.). One of the best-selling programming books published in the last fifty years, "K&R" has been called everything from the "bible" to "a landmark in computer science" and it has influenced generations of programmers. Available now for all leading ebook platforms, this concise and beautifully written text is a "must-have" reference for every serious programmers digital library.

As modestly described by the authors in the Preface to the First Edition, this "is not an introductory programming manual; it assumes some familiarity with basic programming concepts like variables, assignment statements, loops, and functions. Nonetheless, a novice programmer should be able to read along and pick up the language, although access to a more knowledgeable colleague will help."

Computability and Unsolvability.

A growing number of software solutions have been proposed to address application-level energy consumption problems in the last few years. However, little is known about how much software developers are concerned about energy consumption, what aspects of energy consumption they consider important, and what solutions they have in mind for improving energy efficiency. In this paper we present the first empirical study on understanding the views of application programmers on software energy consumption problems. Using StackOverflow as our primary data source, we analyze a carefully curated sample of more than 300 questions and 550 answers from more than 800 users. With this data, we observed a number of interesting findings. Our study shows that practitioners are aware of the energy consumption problems: the questions they ask are not only diverse -- we found 5 main themes of questions -- but also often more interesting and challenging when compared to the control question set. Even though energy consumption-related questions are popular when considering a number of different popularity measures, the same cannot be said about the quality of their answers. In addition, we observed that some of these answers are often flawed or vague. We contrast the advice provided by these answers with the state-of-the-art research on energy consumption. Our summary of software energy consumption problems may help researchers focus on what matters the most to software developers and end users.

Mining questions about software energy consumption

This chapter discusses the elements of mathematical logic. Mathematical logic developed as a result of the application of mathematical methods to the problems of formal logic and as a discipline serving the ends of the foundations of mathematics. Mathematical logic has received diverse technical applications. Contemporary mathematical logic is connected with automation, with machine mathematics and problems of automatic translation from one language to another, with information theory, and with cybernetics. The methods of mathematical logic find wide applications in the theory of electrical networks with switching action. In algebra, numbers—the objects of the study of arithmetic—are denoted by letters. The object of that part of mathematical logic that is known as the propositional calculus is the study of propositions. The propositional calculus is the most elementary part of mathematical logic. Mathematical logic distinguishes carefully between the different ways of using variables and fixes them with the aid of a special symbolism.

Computer: A History of the Information Machine

In the popular imagination, the relevance of Turing's theoretical ideas to people producing actual machines was significant and appreciated by everybody involved in computing from the moment he published his 1936 paper ‘On Computable Numbers’. Careful historians are aware that this popular conception is deeply misleading. We know from previous work by Campbell-Kelly, Aspray, Akera, Olley, Priestley, Daylight, Mounier-Kuhn, Haigh, and others that several computing pioneers, including Aiken, Eckert, Mauchly, and Zuse, did not depend on (let alone were they aware of) Turing's 1936 universal-machine concept. Furthermore, it is not clear whether any substance in von Neumann's celebrated 1945 ‘First Draft Report on the EDVAC’ is influenced in any identifiable way by Turing's work. This raises the questions: (i) When does Turing enter the field? (ii) Why did the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) honor Turing by associating his name to ACM's most prestigious award, the Turing Award? Previous authors have ...

Towards a Historical Notion of ‘Turing—the Father of Computer Science’

Embedded systems are evolving from traditional, stand-alone devices to devices that participate in Internet activity. The days of simple, manifest embedded software [e.g. a simple finite-impulse response (FIR) algorithm on a digital signal processor (DSP] are over. Complex, nonmanifest code, executed on a variety of embedded platforms in a distributed manner, characterizes next generation embedded software. One dominant niche, which we concentrate on, is embedded, multimedia software. The need is present to map large scale, dynamic, multimedia software onto an embedded system in a systematic and highly optimized manner. The objective of this paper is to introduce high-level, systematically applicable, data structure transformations and to show in detail the practical feasibility of our optimizations on three real-life multimedia case studies. We derive Pareto tradeoff points in terms of accesses versus memory footprint and obtain significant gains in execution time and power consumption with respect to the initial implementation choices. Our approach is a first step to systematically applying high-level data structure transformations in the context of memory-efficient and low-power multimedia systems.

Memory-access-aware data structure transformations for embedded software with dynamic data accesses

Did Alan Turing play a major role in the advent of the all-purpose computer? Did Turing Award winners, like Edsger W. Dijkstra, depend on his famous accomplishments? In his well-researched book The Dawn of Software Engineering: from Turing to Dijkstra, Edgar G. Daylight deromanticizes Turing's & logic's role in the history of computing. Dijkstra's pioneering work in compilers lies at the heart of modern-day computers. The book vividly describes how & why Dijkstra's ideas stood out among those of his contemporaries. This book includes interviews with Turing Award winners Tony Hoare, Niklaus Wirth, Peter Naur, and Barbara Liskov. The Dawn of Software Engineering is a rich and fascinating account of the time when software engineering was a compelling intellectual discipline at the center of computer science. John C. Reynolds, CMU wonderfully novel, very readable, and most engaging Grady Booch, IBM Fellow a very deserving contribution to understanding the influence of fundamental results of science onto practice Manfred Broy, TUM

Why did computer science make a hero out of Turing

In current day software design of Internet applications, a lot of attention is paid to the reusability and extensibility of the design. However, due to an increased participation of embedded, hand-held devices in Internet activity, migrating code on the Internet has to be designed and implemented well in terms of energy consumption, execution speed, and on-chip memory space consumption. These parameters should be treated equally with respect to other more common design criteria. This paper introduces tradeoffs between energy consumption and on-chip memory space consumption during the implementation phase of such a system. The content-aware knowledge of the designer is exploited during the implementation so that energy efficient data structures are implemented in a relatively easy way. We also show that optimizing for energy consumption is not necessarily the same as optimizing for execution speed (or vice versa).Gains in energy consumption and/or execution speed are presented for only a relatively small overhead in on-chip memory space consumption. Depending on the behaviour of the adjacent software modules (of the module under investigation) on the one hand, and some general platform related criteria on the other hand, we show that non-trivial data structure implementations can lead to a better matching of the software onto the platform.
