meaning of epilog

1. EPILOG 1. Extended Programming In LOGic. PROLOG with several ANDs having different time constraints. ["Epilog: A Language for Extended Programming in Logic", A. Porto in Implementations of Prolog, J. A. Campbell ed, Ellis Horwood 1984]. 2. A data-driven PROLOG, with both AND parallelism and OR parallelism. ["EPILOG = PROLOG + Data Flow", M. J. Wise, SIGPLAN Noices 17:80-86 1982]. EPIM Enterprise Product Information Management EPL 1. Early PL/I. 2. Experimental Programming Language. 3. Eden Programming Language. U Washington. Based on Concurrent Euclid and used with the Eden distributed OS. Influenced Emerald and Distributed Smalltalk. "EPL Programmers Guide", A. Black et al, U Washington June 1984. 4. Equational Programming Language. Szymanski, RPI. Equational language for parallel scientific applications. "EPL - Parallel Programming with Recurrent Equations", B. Szymanski in Parallel Functional Languages and Compilers, B. Szymanski et al, A-W 1991. epoch 1. system> Probably from astronomical timekeeping A term used originally in Unix documentation for the time and date corresponding to zero in an operating systems clock and timestamp values. Under most Unix versions the epoch is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 GMT; under VMS, its 1858-11-17 00:00:00 the base date of the US Naval Observatorys ephemerides; on a Macintosh, its 1904-01-01 00:00:00. System time is measured in seconds or ticks past the epoch. Weird problems may ensue when the clock wraps around see wrap around, which is not necessarily a rare event; on systems counting 10 ticks per second, a signed 32-bit count of ticks is good only for 0. 1 * 2**31-1 seconds, or 6. 8 years. The one-tick-per-second clock of Unix is good only until 2038-01-18, assuming at least some software continues to consider it signed and that word lengths dont increase by then. See also wall time. 2. Epoch A version of GNU Emacs for the X Window System from NCSA. [Jargon File]
2. a short passage added at the end of a literary work; "the epilogue told what eventually happened to the main ">characters"
