The typical serial-access medium is magnetic tape.
In random-access media (such as primary memory), the time required for accessing a given piece of data is independent of its location, while in serial-access media the access time depends on the data's location and the position of the read-write head.
Only the controller port serial-access registers use the divisor of 12.
The 5A22 also contains an 8-bit parallel I/O port (which is mostly unused in the SNES); controller port interface circuits, including both serial and parallel access to controller data; a 16-bit multiplication and division unit; and circuitry for generating non-maskable interrupts on V-blank and IRQ interrupts on calculated screen positions.
The batches of reads are kept in main memory in an array list, which accommodates fast serial and indexed access.
The Catalog Librarian for Networked Information Resources, Catalog Librarians, and others will jointly develop appropriate skills and knowledge in such matters relating to cataloging remote access electronic serials as serial cataloging, computer file format, using computers, and networked information resources generally.
Today they have been supplanted by media based on electromagnetic and electro-optic technologies except in a few special applications Present-day storage media are of two types: random- and serial-, or sequential-, access.
As part of this experimental year, the Catalog Librarian for Networked Information Resources will make formal reviews and reports on cataloging remote access serials to the Yale library community in January and July 1997.
Answers queries from patrons and staff regarding the Library's serials collections and access issues for electronic resources.
The working definition of remote access electronic serial used by this task force is the definition of remote access computer file serials found in Module 31 of the CONSER Cataloging Manual.
