block transfer computations
From S23Wiki
 | This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for block transfer computations - Next: Bloggs Family, Prev: block |
| :block transfer computations: /n./ [from the television series "Dr. Who"] Computations so fiendishly subtle and complex that they could not be performed by machines. Used to refer to any task that should be expressible as an algorithm in theory, but isnt. (The Z80s LDIR instruction, "Computed Block Transfer with increment", may also be relevant) | |
