Bit banging is a technique for serial communications using software instead of dedicated hardware. Software directly sets and sampling signal processing samples the state of pins on the microcontroller , and is responsible for all parameters of the signal timing, levels, synchronization, etc. In contrast to bit banging, dedicated hardware such as a modem , UART , or shift register handles these parameters and provides a buffered data interface in other systems, so software is not required to perform signal demodulation.

distinguish The Time Dirty Bit The computer hardware concept of a Dirty Bit Modify Bit can be used when discussing the CPU cache or Page replacement algorithm s of an operating system . Page Replacement When speaking about page replacement, each Page computer memory page frame may have a modify bit associated with it in the hardware. The dirty bit for a page is set by the hardware whenever any word or byte in the page is written into, indicating that the page has been modified. When we select a page for replacement, we examine its modify bit. If the bit is set, we know that the page has been modified since it was read in from the Hard disk drive disk . In this case, we must write that page to the disk . If the dirty bit is not set, however, the page has not been modified since it was read into Random access memory memory . Therefore, if the copy of the page on the disk has not been overwitten by some other page, for example , then we can avoid writing the memory page to the disk it is already there. ref Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Baer Galvin, Greg Gagne.

unreferenced date August 2009 The archive bit is a file attribute used by Microsoft operating systems and by OS 2. Typically its state indicates whether or not the file has been backed up. When a file is created or modified, the archive bit is set, and when the file has been backed up, the archive bit is cleared. It is by use of the archive bit that incremental backups are implemented. Backup software also provides the option to do a full backup while clearing archive bits that is, to back up all files irrespective of the archive bit, but to clear the archive bit of all files in the backup for the future. This allows for the creation of an initial full backup that will be supplemented by incremental backups in the future. The operating system never clears the archive bit on its own, unless explicitly told to do so by the user. In MS DOS as well as nearly all versions of Microsoft Windows Windows , the archive bit can be seen or changed with the attrib command line utility, or by viewing the properties of a given file with the Windows shell .
