- Teal Slough Natural Resources Conservation Area (dnr.wa.gov)
This small site, located near the mouth of the Naselle River, supports a remnant coastal old growth forest represented by ancient western red-cedar and Sitka spruce trees. This forest provides homes for marbled murrelets and spotted owls, as well as for Dunn’s and Van Dyke’s salamanders, Vaux’s swifts, and pileated woodpeckers. Easily accessible from Highway 101, and adjacent to a larger conservation landscape, the site has a high potential for educational purposes to illustrate a coastal forest ecosystem.
- Intel 8087 (Wikipedia)
The Intel 8087, announced in 1980, was the first floating-point coprocessor for the 8086 line of microprocessors. The purpose of the chip was to speed up floating-point arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and square root. It also computes transcendental functions such as exponential, logarithmic or trigonometric calculations. The performance enhancements were from approximately 20% to over 500%, depending on the specific application. The 8087 could perform about 50,000 FLOPS using around 2.4 watts.
